i read all of maclean ' s books when i was a kid , and although where eagles dare is not his best , it is easily his most exciting . i remember being up at 4 a . m . , unable to stop reading . unusually , this is maclean ' s only book in which he wrote a screenplay first , then based the novel on his script ( that ' s why the film seems such a faithful adaptation ) . as a result , the book is shorter and leaner then many of his novels , and it definitely works for the story . the suspense never stops building , the action sequences - especially atop the cable car - are some of the best he ' s ever written , and the characters have a very entertaining repartee between them , particularly smith and shaffer . where eagles dare also features some of maclean ' s sexiest female heroes , not always present in his books . the guns of navarone had a greater scope and deeper character development , h . m . s . ulysses was harrowing , gritty and deeply humanistic , ice station zebra had a plot with more twists and double - crosses , but where eagles dare was maclean ' s all - time action / suspense fest .

not really , because there are already many threads on where eagles dare and operation crossbow that are actual discussions , initiated for that purpose . these cd comments - posted at a totally different place and not really intended for interaction in the first place - wouldn ' t necessarily form a discussion and is really out - of - place on a messageboard , imo . but hey , i like the whole cd comments thing .

as an action film where eagles dare has often dangerous stunts , such as the combat scenes on the roof of the cable car lift . the american ex - stuntman yakima canutt was attracted as second - unit director and stunt coordinator . canutt was a veteran , during the shooting , he was already over the seventy , who had been at the time of the silent film stuntman . after his active career as a stuntman , he was best known as a designer and director of stunts and action scenes . the famous scene from ben - hur with the race of the chariots is by his hand , as well as the combat scenes from spartacus ( 1960 ) . canutt had to for where eagles dare deal with parachute jumps , fights on and around the cable car and a race with a bus over frozen roads . he began by selecting a number of top athletes from the world of stunt people , joe powell , eddie powell , peter brace , jimmy thong , jackie cooper , doug robison , terry york , alf joint , and gillian aldam . it was a disappointment to clint eastwood that he did not do his own stunts , but the studio didn ' t want to have . during the shooting had the actor occasionally about the movies as ' where doubles dare ' ( where only stunt people dare ) . eastwood was in the stunts replaced by stuntman eddie powell and burton by alf joint .

derren landed the defining role of his career in 1968 . where eagles dare , starring richard burton and clint eastwood , was written by alistair mclean and shot mainly on location in austria and bavaria . though it ran massively over budget , its now heralded as a cinema classic and has become compulsory bank holiday viewing . for men of a certain age , it ' s as comforting and dependable as that first sip of horlicks .

unusually this book is not a novelization , it was written at the same time as the script and as such it ' s practically identical to the film . however because of that quite a few sections read a little sluggishly as it ' s not as fast paced as the film . where eagles dare is quite possibly my favourite ' christmas movie ' from when i was a kid and the book was a slight disappointment ( the films still rocks ) .

i can remember the impact of the film score for where eagles dare from that first cinematic treat as a boy in the late sixties to a recent aquisition of this tremendous double feature cd which totally indemnifies the quality of goodwin ' s work . the opening side drum signature is instantly recognisable , simple yet highly effective in its musical parallel as burst from a schmeiser sub machine gun . the opening arrangement builds to stunning crescendo as you become immersed in roller coaster orchestration of perfect dynamics mirroring the awesome bavarian backdrop as the junkers ju - 88 and main theme sequence leaves you in full anticipation of the excitement and complexity of the addictive and complimentary underscore that has your full attention right to the last track . the source music on cd2 operation crossbow tracks 20 - 27 is also a listening must . goodwin triumphed with the where eagles dare soundtrack which has to be appreciated and compared to the work of the great composers .

this is possibly the greatest action movie ever . of all alistair maclean ' s books i feel this is the very best plot , multiple story lines , however with an over riding single story line that is only revealed half way into the story . this movie is terrific . in this richard burton is totally superb . of alistair maclean ' s action stories , i found hms ulysses ( i don ' t know of a movie about hms ulysses ) and where eagles dare ( he also wrote the screen play to where eagles dare ) to be his best . i personally feel this is a much more totally action packed super plot story than his the guns of navarone . in where eagles dare , every turn there is action , and with this superb plot the story rockets along at great speed . clint eastwood as an american oss agent is richard burton ' s only trusted male companion and plays a good role , second to burton as someone highly trusted but kept out of the loop until it is absolutely necessary to let him in on the whole aim of the movie plot . richard burton plays the role of an english mi 6 agent , who has a couple of very capable pretty ladies , mary ure and ingrid pitt for help . there are cable car action scenes in this movie which are nearly breath taking , and with a terrific music theme . this movie has everything for spy and action movie buffs .

in one way or another , almost every adventure movie deals with the attempt to penetrate an impregnable fortress , or with the escape from one - - a formula whose success may not be entirely unrelated to the fact that it transmutes into quite acceptable narrative terms the basic , continuing sexual dilemma . if this is true - - and i ' m not prepared to pursue the matter further here , " where eagles dare " is the ultimate metaphor . view full article in timesmachine »

much too dangerous , eastwood nicknamed the production " where doubles dare . " of course , even eastwood must have thought twice about hanging off a moving cable car hundreds of feet in the air , as did his own stunt double , eddie powell . the actual on - location shooting that canutt shot was then intercut with studio shots made at the mgm british studios .

already the process is being used in the production of another m - g - m super - spectacle , " where eagles dare , " which is currently shooting in london , and special effects expert tom howard is adapting it to the use of moving backgrounds by devising a special 65mm motion picture movement that will accommodate a frame 20 sprocket holes wide . this movement will transport the film horizontally ( much in the manner of vista - vision ) and will make possible the front - projection of a very large and clear motion picture scene to be used as a background .

because of the way alistair maclean wrote the movie simultaneously with the novel , it is almost identical . the movie is more violent , with the heroes engaging in more gun fights and killing more germans – the body count approaches a hundred . it has even been claimed that clint eastwood kills more people in where eagles dare than any other of his films . in contrast , in the novel smith relies on tricking people , knocking them out , and tying them up . he even backtracks to save a tied up german who is going to burn to death in the castle .

finally available on cd . where eagles dare was only previously available on cd for a short time during the infancy of cd music . now this stirring soundtrack is available on cd once again . from beginning to end you enveloped in the original soundtrack . for those familiar with the movie , you cannot help but feel the cold of the movie ' s cable car sequence while listening to this soundtrack . the cd also contains some incidental " bavarian " music as heard in the background during several scenes . the cd cover could be a little more exciting , but the cd itself is wonderful listening .

inspirations and influences : the war years and the postwar aftermath provided action cinema with new material - firstly with re - creations of key battles and , subsequently , tales of true and fictional derring - do , such as an earlier maclean adaptation , the guns of navarone ( 1961 ) . the development of bond films in the early 1960s brought a new dimension to espionage - oriented cinema . where eagles dare brings these strands together - fusing the spy story with war action - and helped create a wave of patriotic cold war thrillers that arguably climaxed with the spy who loved me ( 1977 ) .

this is one of the first films to use front projection effect . specifically , this technology enabled filming of the scenes where the actors are on top of the cable car .

john rollo period 3 where eagles dare by : alistair maclean the story where eagles dare started off a bit slow for me , but as the story went on , the action really kicked in . the story begins with a problem , an important american general is being held hostage in a secret gestapo facility by the ss . britain is america’s closest ally to the situation and is called in to help . they assemble a team of men to infiltrate the facility and the book is than filled with mysteries and unfortunate scenarios for these would be heroes . the story unfolds and asks the questions will they be able to save the american in time , and if so what other horrors might they uncover at this secret base and what lengths might they be forced to go to . i would defiantly recommend this book to you mrs . abood , i’m sure you would enjoy it . i couldn’t say too much in the summary without giving something away but it is an action packed book that i highly recommend you picking up . make sure that you give it a chance because as i said it is slow to start up , which is the reason i only gave it 4 stars , but i guarantee it is worth your time .

" where eagles dare " a movie after the story and screenplay by alistair mclean , starring richard burton , clint eastwood and others , was filmed at burg hohenwerfen near the village of werfen in austria . the cable car , which the movie pretends to be the only access to the castle , in fact , is located in the mountains opposite the castle . it connects werfen with the worlds largest ice cave , the " eisriesenwelt " . instead of the lacking cable car , a lift from parking lot to the upper courtyard had been installed not too long ago . enthusiasts may visit urltoken , the movies unofficial homepage .

possibly the best documentary you ' ve never seen . when eagles dare , produced by daniel van der molen and joseph mainland , is a documentary which follows the behind the scenes activity at south london football club crystal palace during their 2012 / 13 campaign . molen media were granted access to selhurst park following the appointment of ian hollaway as first team manager in november 2012 and a roller coaster journey ensued . following a nine - game winless streak the eagles secured a play - off place on the final day of the season and went on to gain promotion to the premier league , defeating rivals brighton in the semi - final and then watford in the final at wembley .

as the second world war thriller became bogged down during the mid - 60s in plodding epics like operation crossbow and the heroes of telemark , someone was needed to reintroduce a little sang - froid , some post - le carré espionage , and for heaven ' s sake , some proper macho thrills into the genre . alistair maclean stepped up , writing the screenplay and the novel of where eagles dare simultaneously , and brian g hutton summoned up a better than usual cast headed by richard burton ( major jonathan smith ) , a still fresh - faced clint eastwood ( lieutenant morris schaffer ) , and the late mary ure ( mary elison ) .

as in ice station zebra , the characters in where eagles dare are thin . alistair maclean reuses his usual stock characters : the cold , unflappable british hero , smith ; the tough , wisecracking american sidekick , schaffer ; and the weak but beautiful woman , mary , who seems a bit more nervous than you might expect in a supposed top mi6 agent . the supporting characters , including all the germans , are given no real characterisation at all ; they are just extras . this kind of shorthand in writing and characterisation can possibly be put down to the fact that alistair maclean wrote the book very quickly and at the same time as the film script .

i don ' t care what anyone says about the film or its flaws , not only was the movie a genuine masterpiece of the action / adventure genre , but the soundtrack was also a work of art . i agree with those that say the film might have been a flop had it not been for this music , but then again music really does make the movie and nowhere is that more true than with " where eagles dare " every track from beginning to end has you literally " seeing " the movie without the picture and its one of those few where you can actually visualize the scene according to each track and the progress of the story . driving in your car or just wandering about the house you can see this movie just by listening to the cd alone ! my only wish is to finally see this film released on dvd in its original widescreen format and 5 . 1 digital surround . only then will final justice to be done to the soundtrack and this fine movie for all time .

i last watched eagles the day after seeing disgrace , the latter serving as a textbook demonstration of everything that is wrong with a certain kind of dutiful film - making . what a plod ! jm coetzee ' s great novel is ploddingly translated into a script that is in turn ploddingly transferred to celluloid . it ' s not a movie at all , it ' s a ploddie , whereas eagles is a piece of perfect cinema , in that the script dissolves into the film . ( alistair maclean wrote the script and then turned it into a novel . )

alistair stuart maclean ( scottish gaelic : alasdair macgill - eain ) , the son of a scots minister , was brought up in the scottish highlands . in 1941 , at the age of eighteen , he joined the royal navy ; two and a half years spent aboard a cruiser were to give him the background for hms ulysses , his first novel , the outstanding documentary novel on the war at sea . after the war he gained an english honours degree at glasgow university , and became a schoolmaster . in 1983 , he was awarded a d . litt . from the same university . maclean is the author of twenty - nine world bestsellers and recognised as an outstanding writer in his own genre . many of his titles have been adapted for film - the guns of the navarone , the satan bug , force ten from navarone , where eagles dare and bear island are among the most famous .

7 . 9 . the buyer will not acquire title to the lot until all amounts due to the seller and prop store from the buyer have been received by prop store in cleared funds even in circumstances where prop store has released the lot to the buyer .

in the flashback scene where the commandos are being briefed on their mission , they are told that general carmody was on his way to a meeting with russian officers on crete . hardly the best place for a meeting between the allies since crete was then under german occupation .

up on the german mountain base , a helicopter flies in and discharges german officers . although germany developed helicopters in world war 2 , they were still experimental and were not yet introduced to the armed forces . the korea war was the first conflict where helicopters were used .

and smith are riding in with the germans is launched in the air by hitting a pile of snow and then comes to a sudden stop by hitting a pile of gravel where the germans are killed . what happened to the pile of snow when schaffer and smith push the car backwards ?

alistair maclean wrote the novel version of where eagles dare almost simultaneously with the scenario and although the book faithfully follows the film smoking varies . so is there much more humor in the book and the characters are better worked out . although the book contains the same improbable plot as the movie know maclean in the book better explain what ' s happening . the violence also is a lot less . the character smith saves even an unconscious german from a burning building . schaffer in the book does not dynamite or explosives down . what also is better developed in the book is the romance , especially the romantic relationship that develops between schaffer and heidi . a number of characters is different in the book than in the movie . so hot major von horse riding in the book , captain von brauchitsch . his secretary in the film , a woman of middle age , is in the book is replaced by a young , handsome woman , who plays a much larger role and much more dangerous than the older secretary in the book .

on the choice of richard burton for the role of major smith , there was no discussion . maclean had commissioned by kastner the character written with burton in mind . burton was also the star of the film , he got $ 1 . 2 million for his role and topped the posters . the second star , clint eastwood , who played the role of schaffer got $ 800 , 000 . moreover , it was not a fait accompli that eastwood was selected as schaffer . the role was first offered to lee marvin , but who had his fill of the type of movie like where eagles dare . four years earlier , he had played a role in the dirty dozen , also a war film with an unlikely plot and he hated that role still . richard burton also had his preferences , he wanted the american actor richard egan as schaffer . egan was an actor who acted largely in b - films and was less of a threat to burton than eastwood which by now was moved up in the hollywood hierarchy . but egan was rejected by kastner .

intrude on carnaby ' s interrogation , the gestapo officer and mary are having drinks in the café , where he makes a statement that might reveal a fault in her identity ( a location in dusseldorf ) . her hand is fixed on her chin , but the next cut shows her hand fully on her cheek .

in the scene where the germans are beating down the door to the hallway leading to the cable car , when the door is about to give way , in the clip from inside the door , it is moving a lot under each blow , but when seen from the outside it doesn ' t move at all .

climbs the rope into the castle , he reaches the top of the rope , grabs the window sill and starts to pull himself in . it then cuts to inside the room where schaffer can be seen outside holding on to the top of the rope and then grabs the window sill to pull himself in , again .

but derren , now 75 and still playing germans , is as english as they come ( well , give or take some russian blood on his fathers side ) . and now he ' s living in that most english of seaside resorts worthing , where , appropriately enough , he will be treading the boards in april .

maclean has experienced incredible success for his wartime adventure novels . you cannot fault him for plot , premise and pace . all of these components are wonderful . if there is one flaw it is in the development of his characters . the characters in where eagles dare are paper thin . he tends to reuse stock characters that most readers would be familiar with . . . the cold , unflappable , stiff - upperlipped british hero ; the tough , wisecracking with slight drawl american sidekick ; and the weak but beautiful woman which is surprising for a top mi6 agent . any other characters , including the germans , are treated as cardboard extras . this aside the writing is punchy and the dialogue solid even it comes from stereotypes . certainly maclean knows how to play out a tense action scene that is why so many of his books have become movies . that is what makes this book readable . who wouldn ' t want to know what happens on a cold winter night when seven men and a woman " drop in " on the mountain headquarters of the gestapo ? after all , not everything is as it seems .

they [ blackout ] meet heidi and head to the airfield in the post - bus . german soldiers and a tank chase them , but they manage to escape by blowing up a rickety bridge . they reach the airfield , where colonel turner is waiting for them with a plane to take them to britain . [ / blackout ]

in the final scene where colonel turner is shown the note book with ' his ' name in it . it simply reads ' colonel turner ' . turner is a common name , and there were a lot of colonels in the wartime british army . simply having colonel turner without a first name or unit was hardly conclusive proof .

‘ready when you are boss . ’ ‘that’s now . i have my bearings . first left , down the stairs , third left . the gold drawing - room . where colonel kramer holds court . complete with minstrels’ gallery . ’ ‘what’s a minstrels’ gallery ? ’ schaffer enquired . ‘a gallery for minstrels . ’ ( p . 111 )

smith and schaffer are just in time to witness the corny , stock wwii scene where the germans regret that , since carnaby will only give his name , rank and serial number , the enemy officers are forced to use ‘harsher measures’ ie a sexy female nazi approaches with a tray of hypodermic syringes – the serious interrogation is about to begin .

for comparison with strangers on a train , i recommend larry clark ' s stunning bully ( 2001 ) . like strangers it is all about a murder - with strong homoerotic undercurrents - but bully is based on actual , recent events in florida when a band of rootless , giggling teenagers decide it might be cool to kill the school bully . clark ' s style - all saturated color , jagged editing , and hyper - real performances - could hardly be more different from hitchcock ' s , yet bully is worthy of comparison to strangers on a train .

in viewing any firm with dead bodies , and out of control teens my thoughts turned quickly to the film “river’s edge” . but unlike “rivers edge” which bordered more on surreal “bully” is stark , shocking and based on reality .

bully easily stands as one of the more favorite dark cult films ever created . for me it was my first introduction to larry’s work which would of course lead me on to “kids” and “ken park” . though still to this day “ bully ” is by far my favorite clark film . the film if you didn’t know already from looking at it is actually taken from a true story . the extras on the dvd feature profiles of the real teens who are portrayed in the film . but i do suggest watching the film first to get the whole sequence of events and character profiles before looking into the real occurrences .

of the music in the film , i’d have to say i’m more partial to sam the sham’s “wooly bully , ” which is one of the great party records of all time . and “surfin’ bird . ” an amazing piece , isn’t it ?

bully is an extraordinary , haunting film for many reasons . when i watched it again , just before writing this review , it lost none of its power , but did reveal some of the creative ways in which clark constructed his best work to date . ( his controversial 1995 debut feature , kids , is easily one of the 20 finest pictures i saw from the 1990s . ) bully was written by xachary long and roger pullis , from jim schutze ' s book bully : a true story of high school revenge . it should be noted that bully contains many scenes of extreme emotional and physical violence : since those are clark ' s themes , they never struck me as gratuitous , let alone titillating .

from his early 1960s black - and - white short to feature films such as kids ( 1995 ) , bully ( 2001 ) and ken park ( 2002 ) , larry clark , internationally renowned for his work , translates grant the loss of landmarks and drifts of adolescence . in 2010 the museum of modern art of the city of paris , hosted the first retrospective of his photographs in france .

bully is by far my favorite of larry clark ' s films , although for some reason i seem to have seen teenage cavemen at least a dozen times .

bully is a 2001 drama film , directed by larry clark . the film follows youngsters who plot to murder their friend who has been physically , emotionally and sexually abusive to them . brad renfro , bijou phillips , rachel miner , michael pitt and nick stahl star in the film . whoa where do i even begin with this film ? well first off i loved it , and it’s also kind of haunting in nature . it’s the type of film that leaves you with lingering emotions and has you conflicted inside . the tale is based on actual events of a true crime story . the film is rare in the sense that it’s not afraid of itself and its portrayal of american youth , the violence , sex and drugs they consume and these things are handled in a disturbing ‘in your face’ manner that had me “shooketh” and i say “shooketh” because for 2001 the film was kind of graphic . the raunchy nature of bully is somewhat its downfall as it tries to be unique , we get sometimes sloppy camera work , melodramatic monologues and certain scenes where an actor’s performance makes you cringe . larry clark denied us the resolution that comes with a classic tale of tragedy . however there are shots that makes us appreciate the teenage body and all its growing nature but sometimes the shots do hinge on being inappropriate . working from a somewhat ‘incomplete’ script we got a very discomforting film that i found loving rather than hating . the late brad renfro made me fall in love with him all over again as he took on the role of the “bullied” . overall i recommend this one if you’re looking for something retro to watch .

' bully ' demands attention for the way in which it forces us to watch and digest a dark slice of american society . american beauty this ain ' t .

a powerful true to story drama , bully is a stunning and very dark film . with a great cast of actors , director larry clark crafts a memorable drama that is hard to watch as you see a group of teenagers plot to kill one of their friends who is physically abusive and who has raped one of their friends . as the abuse becomes harder to bear , the teens are more determined to kill bobby kent who is the one who abuses all of them . the film goes deeper into dark territory as you see everyone fed up with the way bobby kent treats everyone . kent is brilliantly played by nick stahl who gives a riveting and brutal performance . brad renfro plays marty puccio , bobby kent ' s best friend and main target of his abuse . i really enjoyed the film , but i felt it was pretty hard to watch at the same time . the performances are top - notch and bully is a dark , gritty in your face type of film . this is not a film for everyone . the strength of the film lies in the powerful acting , directing and story . if you ' re looking for a powerful drama film , then give this one a shot . the film is brutal , and quite depressing , but nevertheless , is a terrific film that has a wonderful cast of actors who light up the screen with their presence . this is not a perfect film , but there ' s enough going on on - screen to make it worth watching . bully is a very good film that explores the darkest corners of revenge and it does very well enough to keep you interested till the very end .

“he can put his film online and everyone will want to see it—whether they like him or not . ”

this month i recommend one of the most emotionally and visually stunning films of recent years : director larry clark ' s bully ( 2001 ) . like last month ' s picture , strangers on a train , it is all about a murder - with strong homoerotic undercurrents - but bully is based on actual , recent events in florida when a band of rootless , giggling teenagers decide it would be " cool " to kill the bully who has been harassing them . clark ' s style - all saturated color , jagged editing , and hyper - real performances - could hardly be more different from that of strangers on a train . and these teens are certainly kinder , gentler sociopaths than stranger ' s over - the - top murderer , bruno . yet bully is a thriller worthy of comparison to the hitchcock classic . and although it tells a strikingly different story , bully ' s themes mesh with the reading group ' s current selection , paul bowles ' 1949 novel the sheltering sky . both works , on a fundamental level , deal with isolation , " the sadness inherent in all deracinated things " ( sheltering sky , chapter 7 ) , and the tangled roots of violence .

director larry clark , meanwhile , is hoping bully will fare better in europe than in his homeland . with its ultra - violent , near - pornographic content , the film failed to receive a rating from the motion picture association of america , which means bully will never be seen by most of the mixed - up teens that renfro and co seem to so thoroughly represent , on screen and in real life . when clark asked the mpaa for guidelines on cutting the film , he received a fax bearing just eight words . " our advice to america is : hide your children . "

et ' s get one thing clear : larry clark ' s new film , bully , will disturb you . stomach - churning , mind - boggling and heart - wrenching , it has already disturbed us critics , parents , prison protest groups , the religious right and the entire state of florida .

a young michael pitt turns out an awesome supporting performance here too as donny , the constantly stoned comedic relief . but even in a film such as this , the comedy eventually turns a little sad . this isn’t dazed & confused – it’s more along the lines of stoned & sad . the film has sequences of rape , graphic consensual sex , violence and so much cursing that it would give goodfellas a run for it’s money . larry clark made one hell of a movie when he released bully back in 2001 . in honour of pink shirt day – if you truly want to embrace raising anti - bullying awareness , this is by far the best and most powerful movie experience to ever handle the subject .

full of authentic environments and faces , larry clark’s bully is suitably grimy and lived in . clearly made by the same man who directed kids , it retains that film’s edginess and aggressive young cast . clark is obviously obsessed by this younger generation and fetishises the aimlessness , the boredom and the technology they are defined by .

wow ! what a film . had me hooked from beginning to end . didn ' t know till the end that it was a true story . a bunch of kids who get high all the time have an ingenious idea of killing a bully and trying to cover it up . bit gory at times but brilliant portrayal .

“my french film the smell of us that i shot a couple of years ago in paris – halfway through the film we had all kinds of problems . some of the actors went on strike because they were very young and taking drugs , drinking ; having to get up in the morning , and they just got so tired and i was like 72 years old , and i’m making it ( to set ) everyday . so i just rewrote the last half of the film and finished it . the producers were so nervous , they were shaking in their boots . they thought the film was over . so i told producers , ‘watch me go , ’ and so i just re - wrote as i went through the rest of the film . it’s a very good film ; a much better film than if i had shot the original script as planned . ”

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .

but i remember feeling a much deeper sadness and horror at the end of bully , something i don ' t think he ' s achieved before or since , though i continue to find him a fascinating filmmaker .

arry clark , director of the controversial kids , has delivered another lacerating blow with bully . ased on a true story , to which clark adds his own coldly brilliant sheen of voyeurism , the film has an amoral neon glare in which the only compelling value judgment is the director ' s evident rapture at how beautiful his young stars are .

in celebration of larry clark’s new feature film , marfa girl , boo - hooray has published two printed works by larry clark .

there is more “politicianing” on display in “bully” than actual bullying , though mr . hirsch’s camera does capture a few horrifying episodes ( one of them so alarming that he shared it with parents and school officials ) . in spite of its title , the film is really about the victims , their parents and the powerful grown - ups who let them down .

it gets worse . in a small town in oklahoma , ty smalley’s suicide left behind loving parents and a devoted best friend , a self - described former bully whose insights are among the most accurate and devastating in the movie .

all that said , there is something lurid and crude about clark’s eye that makes some scenes feel a bit leering . it all goes tad terry richardson at times but that unease actually enhances a lot of the film’s moments . it’s got a great , big budget soundtrack which offsets the rough aesthetic nicely and some of the most effective scenes are when you’re just watching a bunch of 20 somethings exist in the tableu that is 2001 . i kept thinking about sofia coppola’s the bling ring in a lot of scenes . the later film might be based on a lighter crime but the scrutiny is just as on - point and bracing .

check out the trailer for the new film the smell of us by larry clark – coming out in french cinemas on 14 january 2015 .

a great film and one that is a true story , a lot of this happens all the time and is quite fu * * ed up and disturbing the violence is on quite a high level in this film so be warned , great acting from the cast as well .

so your purpose wasn’t to poke the viewer in the ribs , point out certain similarities… oh , god , no . i’m trying to be true to the material . you know , there’s another extraordinary accident . cowboy is dying , and in the background there’s something that looks very much like the monolith in 2001 . and it just happened to be there .

these are all young stars who deliver astonishingly intense performances in bully through their own lived experience . and at a time when hollywood ensures only the blandest , pr - friendliest teen actors break through , that feels like quite an achievement .

forsyth’s intelligent political thriller revolves around the planned assassination of charles de gaulle . zinnemann’s classic film adaptation has a rakish edward fox playing the eponymous hired killer , with the ever - appealing film set that is paris as a backdrop . every bit as cunning and stylish as the novel .

since that time , he has made a host of award - winning movies , including another day in paradise ( 1998 ) , wassup rockers ( 2005 ) , and marfa girl ( 2012 ) , which won the marcus aurelius award for best film at the 2012 rome film festival .

i looked all over for this soundtrack and could not find it . the cd is great , and in great condition . i consider this cd excellent in the music and sound . i am just happy i had found the bully cd .

larry clark ' s " bully " calls the bluff of movies that pretend to be about murder but are really about entertainment . his film has all the sadness and shabbiness , all the mess and cruelty and thoughtless stupidity of the real thing . based on a real story from 1993 , it tells the story of a twisted high school bully and a circle of friends who decide to kill him . but this is not about the evil sadist and the release of revenge ; it ' s about how a group of kids will do something no single member is capable of . and about the moral void these kids inhabit .

i envy you the first experience of howards end , whether it is forster ' s great novel or merchant / ivory ' s luminous film .

no film version of dickens has ever matched lean’s superlative realisation of great expectations . from the jumpy graveyard scene to the weirdness of satis house , and with actors such as john mills and alec guinness giving their all , there is no level at which this utterly brilliant film doesn’t deliver .

great songs from the movie bully ! i watched the movie and wanted the music from the movie . i came across the cd on ebay as i have not seen it sell in canada . i bought the cd and the music is great !

kubrick’s breakthrough film was paths of glory ( 1957 ) . during the filming , he met an actress , christiane harlan , whom he eventually married . christiane sings a song at the end of the film in a scene that , on four separate viewings , has brought tears to my eyes .

if you haven & apos ; t been the victim of a bully in your lifetime , chances are you were one . bullying & apos ; s existed since david and goliath times , when goliath famously stole david & apos ; s milk money .

for your interview , i got the portrait - thank you ! i still need high res film stills from marfa girl , to accompany the interview .

to close this edition of the retrospective with music , after the screening of larry clark’s wassup rockers , in the presence of the director , the rebel rebel dionysian film days will host an exceptional concert by thisisnotrevolt , a punk blues band composed of actors from the film , jonathan velasquez and eddie velasquez .

in this interview , i talk about my new feature film , marfa girl , and how i came to marfa , texas in may 2011 . i talk about how i was inspired to make a film in marfa . i went back five times working on the screenplay and meeting the people of marfa .

" the ballad of narayama " is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…

the film received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success , spending four weeks at # 1 in the united states and grossing $ 260 million in the united states and over $ 345 million worldwide , becoming the second highest - grossing holiday film of all time , with home alone being the first .

most critics also use that word to describe the two features that followed , 2001 : a space odyssey ( 1968 ) and a clockwork orange ( 1971 ) . some reviewers see a subtle falling off of quality in his barry lyndon ( 1975 ) and the shining ( 1980 ) , though there is a critical reevaluation of the two films in process . this seems to be typical of his critical reception .

the moral wasteland of suburban youth has been examined , earlier and better , in the river ' s edge . clark ' s leering leads nowhere : in bully , he has nothing new to say , and , in the end , no real point to make .

tv commercials have figured that out . leave content out of it , and some of the most spectacular examples of film art are in the best tv commercials .

but while we are on the subject of adult failures , it should be noted that the motion picture association of america’s ratings board , by insisting on an r rating for “bully , ” has made it harder for young audiences to see . the weinstein company , which is distributing the film , has released it without a rating after the association denied its appeal and after a widely publicized petition drive was unable to change the board’s mind .

you may remember clark as the director of 1995’s ‘kids’ – a similarly themed flick that peels the layers back on how shocking the life of a teenager can really get . drugs , sex , violence , foul language that makes foul language blush – clark doesn’t hold back and ‘bully’ is truly a dark and disturbing feature based on a true story . adapted from the novel bully : a true story of high school revenge by jim schutze , clark’s movie details the life and murder of bobby kent – a merciless and abusive youth played incredibly by nick stahl .

i just watched bully because it was late at night and nothing else was on and i was extremely impressed , i plan on rewatching it soon . i was only familiar with larry clark through his super - controversial kids , to which this is somewhat of a companion piece .

découvrez la bande annonce du film the smell of us de larry clark ( kids , ken park ) , prévu sur les écrans français pour le 14 janvier 2015 .

a singularly disturbing film , based on a true story , about a group of white trash teens who decided to murder one of their friends and actually carried it out .

a large selection of unique larry clark photographs will be on sale to fans and followers of the artist’s work at ooga booga in chinatown , los angeles . the photographs date from 1992 – 2010 , and were taken by clark on or around the locations of his films from that time – including kids ( 1995 ) , bully ( 2001 ) , ken park ( 2002 ) , and wassup rockers ( 2005 ) , among others . the pictures document the people , kids and friends he was interacting with during this period , many playing leading roles in his films . the collection of photographs also includes outtakes from a calendar shoot for the street brand supreme , as well as many unique portraits , self portraits and various snapshots .

many exhibitors are terribly guilty of ignoring minimum standards of picture quality . for instance , you now have theaters where all the reels are run in one continuous string . and they never clean the aperture gate . you get one little piece of gritty dust in there , and every time the film runs , it gets bigger . after a couple of days , it starts to put a scratch on the film . the scratch goes from one end of the film to the other . you’ve seen it , i’m sure .

film - maker larry clark has spent 40 years documenting teenage sex , drugs and violence in suburban america . is that any job for a grown man , asks stuart jeffries .

fantasy has a distinguished tradition in film , from georges méliès ' one - reel silents ( 1902 ' s " a trip to the moon " ) to peter jackson ' s monumental the lord of the rings trilogy ( 2001 - 2003 ) ; and cocteau created four of the genre ' s defining masterpieces . they are beauty and the beast ( 1945 ) , and three career - spanning films inspired by the mythic poet and musician , orpheus ( whom some ancient writers believed " invented " same - sex love ) . cocteau ' s orphic trilogy consists of his avant - garde , and boldly homoerotic , first film , the blood of a poet ( 1930 ) , which he wrote , directed , acted in , edited , and narrated ; orpheus ( 1949 ) , discussed below ( and a striking contrast to another mythic film by a great gay director , pasolini ' s medea ) ; and his final picture , the surreally autobiographical , the testament of orpheus ( 1959 ) .

“there was this theatre showing bergman’s early films , godard , louis malle and shadows by john cassavetes , his first film which at that time – ’61 , ’62 – no one had ever made a film like that . i was just overwhelmed . i said , ‘this guy sees like i see . ’ just seeing the film and knowing that there was someone else out there that saw things the way i saw really started me off . from that point on i really trusted my own visions and have always been true to myself . ”

rather a nasty little shocker from larry clark , a more explicit follow - up to his controversial “kids” and this time based on a real - life crime . with “bully” , clark consolidated his approach to film - making , presenting a gritty , realistically filmed storyline with ( then ) largely unknown actors ; the shock factor comes across through the fairly amoral lifestyles of the teenagers portrayed ; middle - class , suburban , drug - taking and engaging in casual sex while their parents appear to be oblivious to what they are up to . when manipulative ali convinces her peers to help murder the sadistic marty the whole lurid tale unfolds before the viewer ' s eyes , graphically and with a chillingly casual attitude on the part of the protagonists . “bully” isn ' t an easy film to watch ; it is intended to make you feel uncomfortable and it certainly does that effectively ; the violence , the sense of wasted lives and the utter banality of it all presents a powerful critique of modern america , one that is still valid today and unfortunately has relevance in societies everywhere . the dvd has interviews and “on location” shoots as extras . a bleak , fairly disturbing but powerfully compelling film .

in casting the film , i use a mix of teenagers from marfa and professional actors from austin , texas . take a listen to the broadcast below to hear some marfa girl stories .

the film also borrowed some music and character elements ( such as the grinch ' s green skin tone ) that originated in the 1966 animated tv special how the grinch stole christmas ! .

somewhat slow psychological thriller shot in south florida , directed by larry clark . marty is bullied by his longtime friend bobby . . . maybe bullied isn’t even a strong enough word . abused . bobby is a lose canon , filled with anger and led by sexual abuse . marty and his girlfriend are tired of being abused so they recruit some inadequate friends to help execute a murder . a thought - provoking film that feels like the kind of movie that a24 would’ve picked up if they were around in 2001 . equipped with its fair share of nudity and explicit language . . . it’s still awesome to see a movie like this made in broward county . wish there were more !

while shooting my new film marfa girl in marfa , tx , i only had one day off , which i spent photographing the actors of marfa girl for v magazine’s summer 2012 americana issue .

most of the rhymes that were used in the book were also used in the film , though some of the lines were to some degree changed , and several new rhymes were put in .

clark creates an ensemble film in which every performance seems particularized and real , from the many supporting parts to leads brad renfro ( marty puccio , the high school - dropout surfer ) , rachel miner ( lisa connelly , his pregnant girlfriend ) , and nick stahl ( bobby kent , the " bully , " who is marty ' s best friend : several characters note that they are " queer for each other " ) . whether this is how " deracinated " teens acted in 1993 florida , i don ' t know ( although clark did film in hollywood , florida , where the murder took place - sometimes using the actual homes and locations ) . the cast , and filmmaking , convinced me utterly .

' bully ' gives the viewer an insight into a group of maddeningly awful young people . they ' re much like the characters from a bret easton ellis novel , only these ones are of a slightly later generation , meaning there is a marked ' wannabe black / rapper ' theme amongst the group , which is laughably contrived . their incessant exchange of conversation , which seldom exceeds excessive swearing or needless use of the word ' like ' , often becomes grating . the characters are so devoid of any intelligence and have such warped attitudes towards violence and sex that it makes you question whether people this retarded exist - worryingly , if you go to the right area , they do . the first half of the film is crude trash ; however it is well - acted crude trash . i wanted to hate the film because i hated every character , but the characters were clearly purposefully constructed to be that way . to hate the film for its ugliness could be deemed as missing the point , i suppose the film acts a cautionary tale , showing what some areas of society can devolve into . in this respect , it ' succeeds ' . its chief success is how it portrays the ugly messiness of violence ; it covers a spectrum of emotions from its characters during the visceral , realistically unpleasant climax , a scene that ' s very well constructed by the preceding twenty minutes or so . however , larry clark ' s trademark perversion is all over this film , paying gratuitous attention to the bodies and sex of the teenage cast . it ' s ultimately rather one - dimensional ; its narrative of murder is captivating , but its study of reckless , idiotic culture is unnecessary - viewers are already aware of people like this . its absence of any likeable characters and presence of many detestable ones overshadows the film ' s merits of decent acting and engaging murder plot . there is essentially no incentive to watch this film , ' bully ' is just another instalment in clark ' s portfolio of attention seeking controversy .

what became even more striking about bully , on a second viewing , was the sheer fluency of clark ' s filmmaking . before making features , he was a highly successful still photographer . but bully is by no means a series of " pretty pictures " strung together to tell a gruesome tale . clark is in complete control of the rhythms of his film , both within shots and in editing . the use of telephoto lenses ( only the foreground is in sharp focus ) and rapid panning shots are not only visually stunning ( whether its marty surfing or nightmarish distortions of row after row of cloned houses or strip malls or palm trees ) , they also reflect the rootless , superficial lifestyle of these kids , and their empty , materialistic parents . image , sound , and theme are inextricably , and brilliantly , bound together from first shot to last .

a film based on the true - life murder of bobby kent . kent , a hollywood , florida teenager was murdered by his own circle of friends once they tired of being bullied by him .

you might remember jonathan as the star of my film wassap rockers ( 2005 ) . he was only 15 years old then . i discovered him in south central los angeles walking down the street .

but at the very front of the queue for post - bully therapy is one special group of people who need it more than most - the unsettled individuals who starred in the film . a cast of former child actors , socialite tearaways and homeless dropouts whom clark hand - picked , they represent a new , thoroughly un - hollywood kind of star - a breed of indie players whose lives are as chaotic as those of the characters they portray . youngsters who are just as likely to be caught dealing drugs as appearing in dawson ' s creek and who , in the hardcore sex and violence of clark ' s film , have found the perfect vehicle for their collective talents . the anti - breakfast club , if you will .

the film i bring up most in meetings is ocean’s eleven . i really think it’s the quintessential bank heist film ; there are others like the italian job or inside man which are also great , but ocean’s eleven has the right tone . we want players to walk out of small time criminals feeling like george clooney’s crew . i also keep bringing up the videogame fallout 4 ( bethesda ) . i want players to be able to hack into computers , open boxes , to explore a fully realised world . there’s also the tabletop roleplaying game fiasco ( jason morningstar , bully pulpit games ) which is so much fun ; in a game like that you talk through what we want to have players actually do in small time criminals !

he had agreed to meet and talk about his latest movie , full metal jacket , a film about the vietnam war that he produced and directed . he also co - wrote the screenplay with michael herr , the author of dispatches , and gustav hasford , who wrote the short - timers , the novel on which the film is based . full metal jacket is kubrick’s first feature in seven years .

you’ve quoted pudovkin to the effect that editing is the only original and unique art form in film . i think so . everything else comes from something else . writing , of course , is writing , acting comes from the theater , and cinematography comes from photography . editing is unique to film . you can see something from different points of view almost simultaneously , and it creates a new experience .

bully co - star bijou phillips , however , has a rather different take on him : " he ' s just a big kid , " bijou says , explaining why she demanded a separate hotel from renfro and the rest of the bully cast . " when we made tart [ a little - seen scream - like horror affair ] together , he ' d come over to my room and want me to put him in the bath and get him sober . or he ' d cut himself and we ' d be in the hospital at four in the morning and we would have to shoot at six . it was just too much . i needed my space . "

each month i highlight one exceptional glbt film from a wide range of genres ( comedy to drama , musicals to suspense ) and periods ( from early cinema , by such masters as eisenstein , murnau , and cocteau , to contemporary works ) . when possible , i select a film which in some way  such as theme , historical period , or style  connects with the g & l reading group ' s book of the month . i hope you enjoy these reviews ! here is the full index to all recommended glbt films of the month ; for more on cinema , see the film resources page .

about photographs of tomasso… you don’t understand because i am an artist and not a fashion cunt photographer… it is just a portrait of a boy but a beautiful italian boy that i will go back to rome and build a film around… he is my new star and inspiration to make a film next year in roma… i am writing the screenplay now… the photographs of him are like a section of images from a film… if you don’t publish them somebody else will right away… you asked for 8 pages and i made this for you… if you don’t get it it’s not my fault… don’t underestimate your audience… they will come around and if a few years the issue will be worth a lot a money and a collectors item because of the suite of photographs i took of my new film star the first minutes i met him… tomasso… .

that’s just another notch on his belt of having to deal with the unintelligentsia who didn’t see things his way . the photographer poked the eyes of the art community in 1971 with his book tulsa , exploring the intensely personal lives of wayward youth . he followed that streak with kids ( 1995 ) , one of the most controversial and powerful films ever made about the “secret life of kids that adults are not allowed into . ” its subject made national news and was denounced by a britsh mp as a “trend almost verging on the paedophilic” . again and again – with his photography and films like bully ( 2001 ) , ken park ( 2002 ) , and marfa girl ( 2012 ) – clark has shit all over stereotypes and inhabited a world he’s created all his own , one he now shares with all the outliers who identify with his take no prisoners approach to creating .

he spends so much of this film shoving the camera into ( ostensibly teenaged ) genitalia that you begin to worry for the actors . it ' s not even attached to anyone ' s gaze when he does it . the camera just lingers on crotch shot , ass shots , chest shots , and little else for most of the first half of the film . it ' s a vastly more gross film in that regard than half the most blatant porns i ' ve seen . clark just seems to be getting his own jollies off , which is a presumption i hate making . it just feels that way , though .

initial reviews of most of your films are sometimes inexplicably hostile . then there’s a reevaluation . critics seem to like you better in retrospect . that’s true . the first reviews of 2001 were insulting , let alone bad . an important los angeles critic faulted paths of glory because the actors didn’t speak with french accents . when dr . strangelove came out , a new york paper ran a review under the head moscow could not buy more harm to america . something like that . but critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what i would call subsequent critical opinion . which is why i think audiences are more reliable than critics , at least initially . audiences tend not to bring all that critical baggage with them to each film .

i will put the film on my first and only website , larryclark . com , which is the only place one will ever be able to see the film… . it will stream for $ 5 . 99 for access to the film for 24 hours… . this is the future and the future is now… . most and very soon almost all the small theaters that show indie and art films will be gone… . everyday another goes out of business because everything is digital now and it is quite expensive for the wonderful old smaller theaters to bear the cost of switching to digital… . anyway i think i am one of the very first directors to release a new film this way , on a website who’s only purpose is to show his new films… . i think this could be very successful and it also cuts out the crooked hollywood distributors .

based on a true story , this is a teen story with a difference . sexually charged and drug fueled teens seek revenge on the bully who controls them and don ' t quite think their plan through . watching the uncut version of this , certainly highlights the extreme levels of bullying and control , which you may otherwise not experience with the uncut version .

on september 26 , 1999 , it was announced that ron howard would direct and produce a 2000 american fantasy comedy christmas film titled how the grinch stole christmas or dr . seuss ' how the grinch stole christmas ( promoted theatrically as the grinch ) with brian grazer and also with the budget of $ 123 million based on the 1957 story of the same name by dr . seuss which would be released in cinemas on november 17 , 2000 . jeffrey price and peter s . seaman would write the film . it was also announced that the film would star jim carrey ( who plays the title character ) , josh ryan evans , taylor momsen , jeffrey tambor , ben bookbinder , christine baranski , landry allbright , bill irwin , molly shannon , frank welker , clint howard , reid kirchenbauer , mindy sterling , bryce dallas howard , jim meskimen , jeremy howard , kelley and t . j . thyne with narration by anthony hopkins . universal pictures acquired distribution rights to the film . james horner would compose the music for the movie . imagine entertainment co - produced the film .

i’m very pleased to announce that marfa girl has been selected to premiere in competition at the international rome film festival which runs from nov . 9 to nov . 17 . the announcement made headlines in indiewire and variety .

it may be that " bully " helps to explain the high school shootings . we sense the chilling disconnect between an action and its consequences , the availability of firearms , the buildup of teenage resentments and hatreds , the moral vacuum , the way they can talk themselves into doing unthinkable things , and above all the need to talk about it . ( so many high school shooters leave diaries and web pages , and tell their friends what they plan to do . ) yes , bobby kent is a bully ( and one of the most loathsome characters i ' ve seen in a movie ) . but he dies not for his sins , but because his killers are so bored and adrift , and have such uncertain ideas of themselves .

i think bully succeeds where his other films struggle is both in the quality of the actors he got got ( a then relatively unknown michael pitt , and nick stahl before he furlong ' d ) and the story itself , which manages to avoid a lot of the proselytizing that kids and ken park get into , while being just a heartbreaking look at destroyed youth .

dr . seuss ' how the grinch stole christmas opened at number - one with a weekend gross of $ 55 , 082 , 230 , for an average of $ 17 , 615 from 3 , 127 theaters and staying at # 1 for a total of 4 weeks . it closed on april 30 , 2001 , after five months , with a final gross of $ 260 , 044 , 825 in the united states and canada and an additional gross of $ 85 , 096 , 578 in other territories , for a total worldwide gross of $ 345 , 141 , 403 .
