hip - hop loves wild style because wild style loves hip - hop . the film’s legendary status is largely attributable to two factors . when it came to chronicling the cultural revolution of graffiti , rapping , djing , and breakdancing , wild style did it first , and right . it’s rare for a music film to understand music on a profound level . it was even rarer in an era where breakdancing generally appeared in movies as a cheap stunt , a way to keep audiences distracted for a few minutes on the cheap .

the embrace that japan gave to “wild style” was so warm , one wonders if the mostly black and hispanic crew ever encountered in japan the kind of racial attitudes that originally slowed hip - hop’s growth in america .

' ' wild style ' ' also has a slight love story involving raymond and rose lady bug ( sandra pink fabara ) , a spray - paint muralist who brings raymond back to his senses when he takes his art too seriously .

mostly , however , ' ' wild style ' ' is a series of random encounters of graffiti artists , rappers and breakers , leading up to a giant rap - break concert in a lower east side band shell decorated by raymond .

independent film producer and distributor kaz kuzui had seen “wild style” at the new directors / new films festival in new york and recalls , with some bemusement , how he “wasn’t sure if japanese people would go for it or not . ”

find yourself nostalgic for the days of old school hip hop , when 50 cent was still in short trousers ? then you can ' t do better than charlie ahearn ' s seminal wild style ; released in 1982 , it was the first movie to bring the underground hip hop revolution to a wider audience . legendary subway artist lee quinones stars as graffiti writer zorro ; but wild style ' s plot is really an excuse to see legends such as grandmaster flash and fab five freddy in action .

directed by charlie ahearn and featuring the likes of rock steady crew , cold crush brothers , grandmaster flash , fantastic freaks and more , “wild style” may have been an underground sensation in the u . s . , but in japan it went mainstream .

for 20 years , aoki’s magazine fruits was known for street - style photography documenting the wild creativity of the fashionable kids in and around harajuku , a tokyo neighborhood of about a square mile that has wielded an outsize influence on fashion in japan and beyond .

some company / crew history . . . wild style technicians was founded as an all elements crew in 1991 . the crews original intent was to preserve , promote , and advance traditional wild style graffiti art . the first wild style technicians items were created primarily for crew members . however , we quickly and easily sold all of the overrun from our original crew production and immediately realized that there was a place in the market for clothing embellished with our style of artwork . in fact , we had felt that the companies creating graffiti inspired artwork at that time were somewhat missing the boat on a huge part of what graffiti is really about - which is letters . lettering is something for which we here at wild style technicians have a passion . hip hop culture is also something for which we have a passion . a passion which was lacking from the ownership of most other brands . we wanted to create something which was non - corporate where the artists were the ones making the money . not some one who ' s only true interest in the culture and artform is to see how much it can be milked in order to enhance their own personal financial gain .

wild style’ s legacy most assuredly isn’t its plot or acting , both of which function primarily as a means to an end . cut out about 15 minutes of hastily improvised narrative scenes , and it’s fundamentally a brilliant hourlong documentary à la style wars , which was released the same year . in a sometimes ingratiatingly amateurish lead performance , graffiti legend lee quinones plays a mysterious , much - buzzed - about tagger who goes under the moniker “zoro” and is renowned for his audacious style and all - around fearlessness .

in october 1983 , the seminal independent movie “wild style” opened in shinjuku’s milanoza theater . the film is a document of new york city’s nascent hip - hop culture of breakdancing , rapping , deejaying and graffiti art , and it lit the fuse on a new type of youth culture that exploded across the world .

a group of young people clustered around a video monitor at the entrance to the museum of contemporary art ' s survey of the art of the 1980s . playing was " wild style , " the rawest , coolest movie ever made about rap and graffiti . charlie ahearn shot it in 1982 , when the people watching at the mca had not yet been born .

the 1983 ' ' new directors / new films ' ' series , sponsored by the film society of by the film society of lincoln center and the department of film of the museum of modern art , begins modestly and in good faith tonight with the showing of charlie ahearn ' s ' ' wild style ' ' at the 57th street playhouse at 8 : 30 .

so part of wild style ’s tremendous value lies in how it captured for posterity the seemingly ephemeral art of graffiti and pre - album hip - hop . as a time capsule and a sociological document , it’s difficult to overstate its importance , but it’s also tremendous fun . the film anticipates the youtube era by stressing wonderful moments and stand - alone sequences over an overarching narrative .

wild style fundamentally respects hip - hop and hip - hop culture . that respect extends to illustrating the interconnectedness of hip - hop’s elements : wild style gets on a subconscious level the difficult - to - explain but profound symbiotic relationship between rapping , breakdancing , graffiti , and djing . writer - director - producer charles ahearn , who conceived the film with fred “fab 5 freddy” braithwaite , who also appears in a major supporting role as flashy impresario “phade , ” captures how all these indigenous american art forms sprang up out of the ugliness and devastation of the bronx in the late 1970s and 1980s . when new york and the rest of the united states turned their back on the bronx and left it to rot , a generation of brilliant street kids created poetry out of the ruins .

wild style fulfills early hip - hop fans’ giddy fantasies by having rival crews cold crush brothers and fantastic freaks battle each other a cappella at a playground , then goes even further by having the crews battle each other lyrically while playing basketball . the brothers’ regrettable lack of studio output renders their scene - stealing appearance here their most revisitable contribution to hip - hop , but it’s still a hell of a contribution .

to hear photographer shoichi aoki describe it , what killed tokyo’s famous harajuku style was basically what happens when a glut of factories set up shop at the head of a river that feeds vital waterways .

“but these girls had made a style that was completely theirs , ” aoki says , describing how they mixed japanese styles and motifs with western clothes , to create an image that wasn’t dictated by any brands . “this kind of adventurousness was unheard of , ” he recalled . “i had never seen yellow hair before . these completely new girls appeared and seemed to have the potential to make a new style that had never existed previously in japan . what’s more , this new style was coming from the street , and i had a feeling that this was the first time for this to happen in japanese fashion history . ”

wild style put the electricity and funky energy of what was bubbling up on new york streets into a sometimes - creaky narrative frame . thirty years later , that frame still feels a little silly , but the riveting music , graffiti , dancing , and djing inside it couldn’t feel more essential or relevant . the silly plot and corny acting can be laughed off , but the art that emerged out of the ugliness and hopelessness of the bronx endures .

a 10 - minute edit of charlie ahearn’s wild style plays at the entrance of the first room , “gender trouble . ” in the same section , jeff wall’s “picture for women” accurately portrays the intensity of changing gender roles . a woman gazes into a mirror , appearing wistfully alienated , as the photographer stands behind her , meeting her eyes in the mirror , as he too is photographed , as if he understands how women feel as constant objects of attention .

the slight narrative of ' ' wild style ' ' is about raymond ( lee george quinones ) , a skinny , outwardly mild - mannered bronx teen - ager by day and , by night , the notorious ' ' zorro , ' ' a celebrated but unidentified spray - paint artist for whom every subway car is an empty canvas . raymond scorns his fellow graffiti artists who turn their talents to legitimate , commissioned murals on the walls of playgrounds and business establishments .

w . david marx , who traced the history of japanese menswear appropriating american style in his book ametora , says when he first traveled to tokyo in 1998 , the kids aoki was capturing were all over harajuku . their style gained attention in wider japan through figures such as entertainer tomoe shinohara , and commercial magazines including cutie , zipper , and kera . but fruits had arguably been there first , and became an authoritative chronicle of the look .

that’s the kind of hip - hop that was celebrated in " wild style , " a 1982 movie that prominently featured crazy legs and the rock steady crew . at the time of the movie’s filming , sharp distinctions weren’t yet drawn between b - boys and beatboxers , deejays and emcees , graffiti artists and ordinary urban hedonists . participants in the culture might have been one of these things , or many of them , or none . the circle was big , and it was inclusive .

unfortunately for the film , mr . ahearn , who is an artist as well as a film maker , never discovers a cinematic rhythm that accurately reflects and then celebrates the rare energy and wit of the artists within the film . too often ' ' wild style ' ' has the effect of dampening the enthusiasm of its amateur actors or of not being able to keep up with their nonstop pace . it always seems to be trailing them , as if it were a little brother who can ' t run as fast as the others .

wild style , written , produced and directed by charlie ahearn ; photographed by clive david - son and john foster ; edited by steve brown ; music by chris stein ; produced by fred braithwaite and jane dickson ; presented by the film society of lincoln center and the department of film of the museum of modern art as part of the ' ' new directors / new films ' ' series . at the 57th street playhouse , between avenue of the americas and seventh avenue . running time : 85 minutes . this film has no rating .

he put his money where his instincts were , though , booking the film and then flying over 36 members of the cast and crew for a promotional tour of japan ( an incredible number , considering even hollywood productions routinely fly over only a couple of people ) . seibu department stores had a “new york nights” event planned and kozui managed to convince them to put “wild style” at its center , which led to in - store promotions , concerts and club events in tokyo , osaka and kyoto , and major exposure in the national media .

“japan was a bit ahead of the curve , ” fred brathwaite , aka fab 5 freddy — who played one of the main characters in “wild style” — tells the japan times . “at that point , ( rap ) was barely even reaching other parts of ( the u . s . ) , it was still primarily a new york thing . ” ( many will remember fab 5 freddy as the longtime host of “yo ! mtv raps” and the creator of one of the most - sampled records of all time , “change the beat . ” )

the style has continued to limp along , and gone through some revivals in recent years , largely because of celebrities who have adopted it , notably japanese pop star kyary pamyu pamyu . mohajer describes her as the unofficial brand ambassador of harajuku , specifically takeshita street and ura - harajuku . the set of her 2011 hit “ponponpon” was the handiwork of sebastian masuda , the designer behind ura - harajuku - based shop 6 % dokidoki . the store became a cornerstone of unrelentingly cutesy kawaii style after it opened in 1995 .

anyone who watches “wild style” will be inclined to agree . this micro - budget project , shot on the streets ( and elevated train tracks ) of new york city in 1981 - 82 , captures the birth of rap and hip - hop culture , and the energy on display is palpable — it’s that gleam in the eyes of someone who knows they’re riding a wave of fresh , vital energy . this was a point in time when the scene was still so underground that an uptown white liberal could ask with a straight face about “that rat music . ”

is authentic - the story , style , characters , and most of the actors , are drawn from the community . it features a pantheon of old - school pioneers , including grandmaster flash , fab 5 freddy , busy bee , the cold crush brothers and more .

in the mid - 1990s , the less - commercial ura - harajuku section of the area— ura meaning “back”—blew up . from this base , the pioneering japanese streetwear labels undercover and a bathing ape launched their globally popular style , known locally as ura - harajuku - kei .

the impact was huge : tokyo hip - hop icon dj krush is but one of many who cite “wild style” as life - changing . brathwaite recalls going to a club in kyoto where “one of our djs gave a little demonstration on the turntables . and like anybody at this time , they’d never seen anything like it . most people would stand around looking at the dj like ‘how you doing that ? ’ literally not more than a week later , we were back in the same club , and we walked in and we were like , ‘wait a minute , is somebody scratching ? ’

way before diddy ' s yacht and cristal champagne - even before dr dre and west coast gangster rap - hip hop was a micro youth culture played out in nyc basements . wild style takes you to the source of a street movement that conquered the world ; it ' s a panoply of freestyle mcs , breakdancing , and graffiti sprayed subway trains . all that is interspersed with a half - hearted fictional plot , in which red hot graffiti artist zorro struggles with his family ' s disapproval , and encounters uptown journalist virginia ( played by then queen of the east village , patti astor ) .

masuda has gone on to design several buildings that embody the look that has come to represent harajuku , such as the kawaii monster cafe , which attracts tourists eager for a glimpse of the harajuku stereotype . kawaii seems to be the style that has most come to represent harajuku abroad .

from its opening scenes , “wild style” captures a scruffier nyc in a lost age before mayor rudy giuliani , with three - card monte scammers in times square , trains covered in elaborate graffiti , and the bronx looking like a war zone . sartorially , this was before the commodification of hip - hop : before xxl sizes , athletic wear and the global spread of mtv . it’s a surprise to see all the denizens of this nascent scene dressed as fairly typical late ’70s youths , randomly attired in levi’s , plaid shirts and even crewneck sweaters , with the emcees looking more like back - up singers for a funk outfit .

zoro , the city ' s hottest and most elusive graffiti writer . the actual story of the movie concerns the tension between zoro ' s passion for his art and his personal life , particularly his strained relationship with fellow artist rose . but this isn ' t why one watches wild style - - this movie is * the * classic hip - hop flick , full of great subway shots , breakdancing , freestyle mcing and rare footage of one of the godfathers of hip - hop , grandmaster flash , pulling off an awesome scratch - mix set on a pair of ancient turntables . a must - see for anyone interested in hip - hop music and culture .

the acting is stilted - hardly a surprise seeing as ahearn used the scene ' s genuine figures , instead of actors - and the story almost non - existent . but that isn ' t the point , wild style is a cult classic - indisputably the most important hip hop movie , ever - because it documents so vividly the origins of a street movement that became the dominant force in mainstream pop culture . you ' ll see grandmaster flash at the decks , busy bee on the mic , and breakdancers the rock steady crew on the floor . it ' s a bona - fide piece of cultural history . if you love hip hop , this is unmissable .

but harajuku has changed . that frenetic signature image has been co - opted and commercialized by corporations , celebrities , and attention - seekers , and ultimately replaced by one more conservative and less unique among tokyo’s style - conscious kids . these days , they’re more likely to wear mass - market clothing from uniqlo and other international clothing chains .

quickly , a variety of style subcultures emerged—each with its own rules and hangouts . these included kawaii , meaning “cute” ; wamono , which mixed elements of western and traditional japanese dress ; loligoth , an amalgam of lolita and gothic ; futuristic cyberpunk ; hyper - colorful decora ; and others . plenty of dressed - up kids also defied definition .

in the 1990s , the area was the epicenter of a new look that came to symbolize the uninhibited essence of japan’s fashion - forward youth culture . an eclectic , unruly overload of influences , sometimes colorful as a pinwheel , exaggerated and accessorized to cartoonish effect , harajuku style has come to represent japanese fashion—and indeed japan—to much of the rest of the globe .

for hip - hop fans , watching the groundbreaking film wild style in 2013 , 30 years after its original release , is a little like listening to early james brown or george clinton albums . déjà vu is bound to ensue , since the culture has lovingly referenced , spoofed , or recycled nearly every line and frame . the film’s famous scenes , like the one of forgotten hip - hop duo double trouble spitting a tag - team a cappella rap while sitting on a front stoop , have reappeared , in altered form , in commercials , music videos , movies , and albums . wonderfully slangy , evocative throwaway lines like “i’m just gonna munch up a little bit” ( a funky hip - hop way to say “i’m getting a snack” ) have been immortalized through their sampling on albums like mf doom’s mm . . food ?

the exact reasons for the decline of harajuku’s unique style aren’t entirely clear . aoki describes the 1998 closure of his subjects’ sunday gathering spot , the hokosha tengoku “pedestrian paradise , ” as a punch to the chest . after that , the area lost some of its magnetism , and international fashion chains had started moving in . “this small fountainhead was overwhelmed with callous businesses , ” he says .

if you think you are a true hip hop fan and when i talk about wild style and you are asking me " what ? " , then something must be wrong . . . wild style is the first and true hip hop documentary / film about a culture that remained one of the strongest of the past few decades . never has there been an artform of music that was just basically made of other music styles , but has managed to grow and evolve on its own . if you want to understand the basic elements of hip hop ( rappin ' , djin ' , breakdancin ' & grafitti ) then don ' t look any further , here ' s what you need . as one of the top titles wanted on my " please - release - it - on - dvd - list " , this movie is not a movie in its real form . because it was pretty much lowbudget , it has a feel of documentary , but it certainly has a story . not very much , but the knowledge that almost everyone of the cast was / is someone in the hip hop community 1982 , makes this title very interesting to see what they contribute to this movie , and hip hop in general . you ' ve probably read the plot outlines in other reviews , so i won ' t tell you anything you ' ve already read in those reviews . all i can say is , if you wanna know what the true meaning is of hip hop , instead of the bling - bling type o ' hip hop which is totally ( well , almost totally ) commercialised , see if you can get a copy of this movie and " take a trip down memory lane " , like my man nas said in his 1994 dj premier produced cut " memory lane ( sitting in da park ) " , another hip hop gem . . recommended ! !

in 1997 , at the same time that streetwear was gaining mass popularity , another look was spreading around ura - harajuku and omotesandō . what prompted aoki to start the magazine were three girls he spotted , who to him represented something new . for years , tokyo’s stylish art and fashion school kids had opted for the cerebral , mostly black look of comme des garçons and yamamoto . vivienne westwood and london street style also exerted their influence .

that’s not to say that tokyo , and harajuku specifically , has lost its sense of style . creative fashion is still more part of the culture in japan than , say , in the us , and there are plenty of well - dressed people on the streets of harajuku to photograph . but fewer of them are dressing in an artistic way that pushes boundaries , and fewer still in the very specific mode fruits started capturing 20 years ago .

the all - encompassing 20 - night itinerary takes off in madrid , with the first stop in ethiopia . from here you will move on to spotting the big five in tanzania ' s serengeti national park , taking in spectacular views from the top of cape town ' s table mountain and exploring zimbabwe ' s famous victoria falls by helicopter . before leaving for the final destination , morocco , spend a night stargazing in the sahara desert and be waved off in style with a lavish berber finale feast .

they weren’t the originators of the form . but they were the first to bring mainstream attention and respect to b - boy culture . from 1977 until the group’s initial hiatus a decade later , rock steady was the world’s most famous breaking crew — popularizers of acrobatic moves that are still used by choreographers in contemporary routines . much of the public image of breaking comes directly from rock steady : the power moves and head - spins , wild windmills , sudden drops and cross - arm stances . the great new york hip - hop emcees of the mid - ’80s mimicked the swagger of rock steady . so influential was the bronx - born group that it spun off franchises in cities as far away as tokyo .

this year’s lineup is similarly inspired . more than 30 rappers , record spinners and breakers will appear at the event . epmd , whose " strictly business " tugged ’80s hip - hop toward hard - hitting , no - nonsense minimalism , will perform . keith murray , whose witty style can be seen as a forerunner of jay - z’s , will also appear . adding garden state color is wise intelligent , one of the quick - spitting rhymers from trenton’s poor righteous teachers ; pacewon , one of the voices of newark’s outsidaz , should draw a brick city crowd to the park . dj evil dee of the beatminerz will take his place behind the turntables , as will the roots’ proud - maned drummer questlove . rahzel , the roots’ original beatboxer and a longtime affiliate of the rock steady crew , will be there , too ; the incendiary jane grae , another roots affiliate , will add a female voice to a male - dominated afternoon .

viewers of any age must check all the usual expectations for a retrospective exhibition at the door . " this will have been " makes no claims to being chronological or inclusive , nor to fitting ' 80s art into any of its familiar categories . there ' s not a painting byjean - michel basquiatin sight , nor wall text trumpeting " appropriation art " here or " neo - expressionist painting " there . this is exciting . would that the results were consistently so .

the exhibition , organized by helen molesworth , chief curator of the institute of contemporary art in boston , begins promisingly . or rather , it begins with an installation of works that speak forcefully about broken promises . front and center stands krzystof wodiczko ' s " homeless vehicle , " a shopping - cart - cum - missile designed in collaboration with its intended users , meant to provide storage space for redeemable bottles and cans , a sleeping chamber , a wash basin and a conspicuous message about the utter unacceptability of human beings living on the street . nearby , adrian piper ' s " calling cards " rages politely at racist and sexist remarks , handouts given by the artist — a light - skinned black woman — to offending commentators . everywhere scurry the life - size rats christy rupp once printed up as posters , and wheat - pasted in long lines across lower manhattan . it isn ' t a pretty picture now , and it wasn ' t then .

next comes a suite of rooms that bear witness to endings — the death of painting , the scourge of aids . " the end is near " trumpets a wall text . the art world did not go quietly in either case . painters like gerhard richter , mary heilman and peter halley fought the good fight , armed not just with brushes and acrylic but irony , punk edge and social consciousness . the audacity of hanging this work within spitting distance of general idea ' s " aids wallpaper " pays off , animating the tensions of a decade that swung precipitously between radical and conservative , freewheeling and critical .

another cluster , under the heading " desire & longing , " induces shivers by placing jeff koons ' shiny stainless steel " rabbit , " sign and symptom of a lust for fancy consumer goods , in front of some of the most aching , honest art by men about their attraction to other men ' s bodies . david wojnarowicz , felix gonzalez - torres and robert mapplethorpe , who made those haunting works , all died of aids . koons made a fortune from sales , and contributed to the wealth of countless collectors and dealers . and this all happened in downtown manhattan , at more or less the same time .

potent moments like these , planted like ticking time bombs throughout the museum , would have added up to an explosive exhibition . instead , the second half of " this will have been " disappoints , despite terrific work by familiar names like rosemarie trockel , haim steinbach , robert gober , jimmie durham and carrie mae weems , as well as the less familiar deborah bright , lorraine o ' grady and jac leirner . the curatorial moxie disappears . themes of " democracy " and " gender trouble " read like so much text on a wall . art works that ought to have gained something through proximity lose something instead .

displays of powerful , witty activist campaigns by the guerilla girls , gran fury and group material — fighting sexism in the art world , racism and homophobia in the general populace and aids biases in the white house — look lost and flimsy , stuck near an emergency exit or over a doorway . in real life these posters shouted proud from the sides of city buses . jenny holzer ' s " 10 inflammatory essays , " unsigned excerpts from incendiary political and aesthetic manifestoes , simply photocopied on colored paper , usually plasters an entire wall . here it barely registers on the narrow side of a partition .

eleased in 1983 , ahearn ' s cult classic has improved considerably with age . the cast is made up of non - actors , not simply non - professional - they really cannot act at all . the plot of a graffiti artist trying to win back his girlfriend barely registers on film - but it ' s the background that takes centre stage .

nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days of hip - hop and spraycan art , of the burned - out and derelict bronx ; the only colour comes from the impressive artwork as b - boys and fly girls dream of making " cash money " while scratching and rapping in kitchens , dingy bars and , in an impressive diy turn from double trouble , on stoops . this isn ' t old skool , this is pre - school .

crazy legs — rock steady’s best - known member and inventor of the gravity - defying continuous back spin — isn’t from overseas . he’s a b - boy from inwood in manhattan . in the early ’80s , he danced tirelessly all over the five boroughs , entering competitions and popularizing breaking wherever he went .

in 1982 , he was named the president of the rock steady crew . he still has that position . and on sunday , he will bring the latest team of dancers to call themselves rock steady to newark . the event , which is part of the sixth annual lincoln park music festival , is the 34th anniversary of the rock steady crew . but really , it’s more than that : it’s a celebration of hip - hop’s elements . no matter how glitzy it can look in its mtv representations , hip - hop is still built on kids doing spins in city parks , egged on by emcees , dancing to deejays in search of the perfect break .

this docudrama celebrates the colorful lives of teens who live in the south bronx . there they are seen break dancing , creating graffiti art , and listening to raucous rap . the slim story centers on zoro , who likes to spray - paint subway cars . he gets a break when he is hired to decorate a platform for an upcoming rap concert . ~ sandra brennan , rovi

charlie ahearn ' s groundbreaking film about hip - hop , graffiti , break dancing , and rap in eighties new york celebrates its 25th anniversary with a new 35 - mm . print .

hip - hop rolls on tractor treads now , unafraid to colonize those who hesitate , but in 1982 it was small , self - selecting , and as specific to new york as the world trade center .

it ' s a fascinating time capsule , worth examining for anyone interested in the cultural roots of hip hop .

the pacing is slow - - inexcusable in a film about music - - except when hip - hop takes over , and ahearn wisely gives plenty of screen time to the likes of busy bee , rock steady crew , and fab five freddy .

as a time capsule and a sociological document , it ' s difficult to overstate its importance , but it ' s also tremendous fun .

it ' s great to see again this bolt of ghetto joy , a kind of updated west side story , that shows hip - hop as a living , breathing expression of cultural resistance rather than a crunky , cheerless set of cruddy grunts and boasts from which to make money .

nothing else comes close to capturing the atmosphere of the early days of hip - hop and spraycan art , of the burned - out and derelict bronx .

this unpolished but authentic film , a drama with the honesty of a documentary , shows hip - hop pure and unvarnished .

when helen molesworth , chief curator at the institute of contemporary art , examined the contemporary art world , she found that the 1980s remained vastly overlooked .

“why is our memory of the ‘80s kind of a cringe of embarrassment ? ” molesworth said .

pop culture depicts the ‘80s as a collection of fleeting fads , bad pop , hair perms , the rubik’s cube , hair metal and neon everything . but at a closer glance , the ‘80s were a transformative , tumultuous decade . women began carving out a more solid place next to men not only in the workplace , but in the world of art as well . mass media publicized the private sphere and strengthened the desire for social justice and democracy that had emerged in the heady 1970s social movements . the aids crisis at the end of the decade ignited feelings of loss and longing .

molesworth sought to capture all this in the unprecedented four - part 1980s exhibition that opens at the ica today . the exhibit itself — broken down as “gender trouble , ” “the end is near , ” “democracy” and “desire and longing , ” — is unexpectedly relevant . and though molesworth nailed it , she said the exhibit is merely a first shot at what an ‘80s show might be .

“this is the ‘80s , ” she said . “it’s my ‘80s . it’s a lot of people’s ‘80s . ”

the exhibition covers 1979 through 1992 and includes work by david hammons , hans haacke , cady noland and guerrilla girls . this will have been : art , love and politics in the 1980s captures the very recent history and perhaps the last especially memorable decade perfectly because not only is it full of tangible studio art , but it also contains videos and sound clips . molesworth said that a 1980s art exhibit would fail to capture the first ever truly mediated decade if it didn’t include these elements .

in the same section , the american cowboy , a classic portrayal of man , is ridiculed and shows the 1980s rejection of old definitions of masculinity .

“the end is near” grasps the apocalyptic tone of the ‘80s . modernism was at the end of its road . traditional conservatism was dead to the art world despite president ronald reagan’s threat to bring it back . by then , concepts from the 1960s were hackneyed , too . in a five - minute video , christian marclay plays jimi hendrix’s version of the “star spangled banner” from woodstock on a turntable , simplifying and mocking the long , narcissistic guitar solos . punk’s brevity at the time sought to do the same .

the perfectly vain jeff koons “rabbit” sculpture stands in the center of the “desire and longing” part of the show . viewers themselves are reflected off the stainless steel , and they get to have their own personal moment of self - desire — a concept the ‘80s grappled with . aids wallpaper is featured on another wall .

“it’s doing what aids was — a constant backdrop against which everything happened , ” molesworth said .

molesworth’s exhibition is a bold and well - composed , setting a high standard for period exhibits to come . the first of its kind , it is an eye - opening depiction of the 1980s art world as progressive , inspiring and heart - wrenching .

this will have been : art , love & politics in the 1980s is on display at the ica from thursday , nov . 15 to march 3 .

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 .

revenge is best served with dynamite when his mentor and best friend is murdered , charles creates a master plan for revenge . with the help of vain conman vanheden , depressed explosives expert harry , and the locked - up lock specialist rocky , he and this perfectly odd crew perform the ultimate heist .

the daleks ' master plan was the fourth serial of season 3 of doctor who . it was written by terry nation and dennis spooner , directed by douglas camfield and featured william hartnell as the first doctor , peter purves as steven taylor , jean marsh as sara kingdom and adrienne hill as katarina .

members include guardian of the solar system mavic chen , trantis , zephon " master of the fifth galaxy " , celation , beaus , gearon , and malpha .

the new split sequel also feeds shyamalan’s master plan for his movies . in a recent interview with cinema blend , the director revealed that he essentially owns all the rights to his films so that no one else can make sequels to them without his permission . “i took care of all the right stuff , ” he said .

remember when we went into a lot of detail about how bran stark could actually be the night king on game of thrones ? well another theory about the leader of the terrifying undead army has cropped up . it details what he’s really after , and if this truly is his master plan then it all makes so much sense .

for someone who couldn’t stand wolf creek because of the pointless nature of it , i’m very curious to see what they’ll do with the last film .

the death scene of katarina , shot as a film insert at ealing during the week beginning 27 september 1965 , was the first work that adrienne hill had done in the role .

this film is an investigation of methods and patterns russia is using to win the expanding info - war both at home and abroad . the film will expose a set of instruments the kremlin is using , show russia’s propaganda machine in full motion and reveal how the same set of actions is tested and used in several european countries .

sara kingdom was going to be a replacement companion for katarina . ( not quite true . when it was realised that the character of katarina would not work as a regular , nation was asked to write her out as soon as he could . a replacement ' companion ' character was then requested for the remainder of this story . there was never any intention for sara to continue past the end of the daleks ' master plan . )

the story , telling over twelve episodes of the daleks ' attempt to conquer the empire of the solar system , is indeed a remarkable one with a genuinely epic quality quite unmatched by anything else in this era , and perhaps in the entire history of doctor who . the events depicted span a wide variety of different times and places as the doctor and his friends try to foil the master plan , and a whole host of intriguing and well - conceived characters are introduced , most of them ultimately to perish during the course of the action .

saw iv actually takes place during the events of saw iii , which is only revealed when a character from saw iv literally walks into the final scene of saw iii , about two seconds after the previous film cut to black .

“i have an 11 page outline for my next film in my bag . i can’t tell you what it is , but if you’ve seen # split . . . ” he tweeted on saturday .

' an all - round masterpiece , ' was ian levine ' s assessment of the daleks ' master plan in a voyage through 25 years of doctor who dated december 1988 . ' the direction of douglas camfield combined with the scripting of terry nation and dennis spooner gelled in . . . a way that defied description . . . rich characters , such as kevin stoney ' s mavic chen , and tense moments , such as the pathetic katarina ' s self - sacrifice - the first time we discovered that a companion could actually die - abounded . '

my one problem with this is that jigsaw consistently cheats with his traps . it happens literally in the opening moments of the first film ; a character wakes up , drowning , and thrashes , sucking down the key that would unlock his manacles down the drain as he pulls the plug .

like most of the longer doctor who stories , the daleks ' master plan is perhaps best appreciated at the rate of an episode per week , as was originally intended ; it is simply too much to take in all in one go . as gary russell commented in ark in space no . 7 dated may 1983 : ' it had its lame bits , [ including ] the nonsensical monk character ; and its strong bits , such as katarina ' s unexpected demise ; it had seriousness , [ as in ] the doctor ' s final thought ; and humour , notably the marvellous cricket match scene . '

having only seen the first saw , saw iii and the first half of saw iv , i have to say that this article has made me more interested in watching the series from beginning to end than any one of the film’s that i actually have seen . well done , sir .

the original intention was that the police station scenes of " the feast of steven " would feature a crossover with the characters and location of z - cars . however , the production team vetoed the idea , although the liverpool - area location of the police station survived in the transmitted episode . john peel ' s novelisation of the serial references this plan by using the cast names of the z - cars actors for the police characters ' names .

him putting the key behind michael’s eye in saw ii and everything else had been predicated years ago on forums and youtube ( search dr . gordon theories ) . i can’t believe they actually used it in the film though . i was rather disappointed , mainly because the whole premise and plot of saw 3d makes no logical sense ( even for a saw film ) and fans practically wrote most of the dr . gordon scenes . there was no real plot twist or surprise . just bleh . saw vi is the real ending of the franchise . : p nice read .

as a special christmas - themed episode , " the feast of steven " ( episode seven ) was considered to be of no sales value as its transmission would have to coincide with december 25 , and overseas television stations would be showing the story at any time of the year . the story was instead offered for sale overseas as an eleven - parter . because of this , " the feast of steven " became the first episode of doctor who ever to be junked by the bbc archives ; no 16mm black & white film telerecording was made for international distribution , and once the master 405 line black and white videotape was erased for reuse the episode was lost forever .

i don’t fit the description of any of your characters you are look for . my question is are there any more role to audition for ? and if not may i be an extra in your film ? i am a starving actor that is just looking for work .

searching for marc cory , missing for six months ( see mission to the unknown ) , kert gantry and bret vyon instead find the daleks ' alliance , holding its seventh meeting . members include guardian of the solar system mavic chen , trantis , zephon ' master of the fifth galaxy ' [ see the monster of peladon ] ( a new arrival since mission to the unknown ) , celation , beaus , warrien , sentreal , and malpha .

the doctor and his companions are forming a plan to steal the daleks ' ship whilst evading the daleks and the visians . seeing that the dalek ship is only guarded by one dalek , the doctor decides that now is the moment . he reveals himself and says he wishes to surrender himself and the taranium to the daleks in exchange for safe passage home . whilst the doctor keeps the dalek talking , steven sneaks up behind him and splatters mud on the dalek ' s eyestalk . using this brief period of blindness , the doctor and his companions hijack the ship , closing the door just in time before the rest of the daleks arrive .

or just to have the time to go and kill jill , since a trap was setted up to kill people entering the test i thibk it’s more of a genius plan from hoffman ( and since hoffman really doesn’t give a damn about killing anymore i find this story way more credible than gordon turning mass murderer when all the footage we get of him in saw 3d is chirurgical interventions . )

the lead actress of the film seen in " the feast of steven " was played by sheila dunn , who was douglas camfield ' s fiancée at the time the episode was in production . the two married just before the serial completed production . camfield later cast her in a minor voice role in the invasion and a major screen role in inferno . sheila was also the daughter of bill dunn , who designed the bulletproof engines that would be used in spitfires , which were seen in victory of the daleks .

you know , i saw the first saw movie , and i was very impressed by its execution , but almost everyone i knew said that the sequels did not live up to the first one . and i would later find out spoilers from other movies , such as jigsaw dying at the end of the third film , and i would question how the films could still be any good or at all plausible after that happens .

in the tardis the doctor reveals that thankfully the main console has been unaffected by the explosion and it was the directional unit that suffered , but this still means that they cannot go to kembel . the doctor and steven hatch a plan whereby they could steal the monk ' s tardis , but the doctor worries they are surrounded by egyptians and he uses his scanner to check . he is delighted to find they are on kembel after all and that the directional unit must have broken after the trip . steven fetches the doctor ' s power impulse compass and emerges into the jungle .

gordon’s two helpers were not identified . the film does not reveal why gordon would help john . i mean it was just minutes before john dragged him off that gordon was shouting he was going to kill the man responsible for murdering his family ( at the time he thought they had been killed ) . no mention of his family at all . they could have used another 5 minutes to explain things a bit more . i don’t understand why lionsgate must need to condensed a complicated film to 90 minutes , especially when parts of saw 8 was added to saw 7 . there was just more traps and gore than story . the real fans of the saw films , watch them for the storyline , not guts . though that is an added bonus .

perhaps , then , the shyamalaneissance is nigh ? after a string of flops ( after earth , the last airbender ) , the filmmaker redeemed himself last year with comedic horror film the visit . made on a meager $ 5 million budget , it ended up pulling about $ 98 . 4 million worldwide , setting the stage for split ’s success . now there’s a comeback story with a juicy plot twist—and more to come .

in 1973 , the 16mm black & white film telerecording of " the traitors " ( episode four ) was loaned to the children ' s magazine programme blue peter for use in a doctor who 10th anniversary feature that they were compiling for the monday 5 november edition , which used a 58 " extract of the scene leading up to katarina ' s death . however , for some unknown reason , " the traitors " was never returned to the bbc archives afterwards .

the results you find inside this plan in many ways support much of what we have already done over the last nineteen years , but they also challenge and inspire us to undertake new and innovative programming and efforts to continue to grow in artistic and cultural vibrancy , to invest further in beautifying our public spaces , to engage creative people in the community locally and at large , and further propel a unique identity for our city .

this article prompted me to start looking at the films wikipedia pages . while scouring over them i came across this little nugget in the intro section for saw vi : following its cinematic release , the film failed to garner any award nominations from mainstream motion picture organizations for its production merits or lead acting . true that has nothing to do with the films , but that is just way too funny not pass on .

back on earth , chen reveals the true depth of his plan to karlton . he plans to return to kembel as soon as the taranium is returned ; in the meantime karlton is to take a fleet to venus and from there they will destroy kembel with the help of a dissident army of followers that chen will summon up from within . karlton seems unhappy with this , saying it will only mean they will rule the galaxy ; however , chen insists that this will just be the start .

radcliffe says he was doing a q & a recently and somebody in the audience asked why he played such weird parts . he looks pleased when he tells the story . " i can ' t put it down to anything more than that i ' ve got weird taste . there have been plenty of weird roles so far , and more to come , i hope . i pick films based on scripts and directors and parts . i think i ' ve got good taste , but it ' s slightly left of centre . i ' m not interested in making films i ' ve seen before . there ' s nothing more exciting to me when i read a script than originality . that ' s all it ' s governed by ; there ' s no master plan to distance myself from potter with every role . "

only the second , fifth and tenth episodes of this twelve - part story — " day of armageddon " , " counter plot " and " escape switch " — exist in the bbc archives as 16mm black & white film telerecordings . " day of armageddon " was recovered in 2004 when a former head of engineering at yorkshire television returned it to the bbc . this is the only recovered episode to feature footage of katarina .

to understand the saw series , all you have to do is look at the production company’s logo . before each film , the words “twisted pictures” are ensnared by coils of nasty - looking barbed wire . then they are impaled by a metal spike . then the metal spike is rotated , tightening the wire and gouging deep scars in the poor letters . in less than ten seconds , this animation encapsulates the series’s infamous modus operandi : horrible pain is inflicted with low - tech tools , and we’re forced to watch . twisted .

sara kingdom was going to be a replacement companion for katarina . ( not quite true . when it was realised that the character of katarina would not work as a regular , nation was asked to write her out as soon as he could . it doesn ' t appear likely that marsh , who at the time was much in demand for film and tv appearances , would have signed on for an ongoing role . )

since its inception nineteen years ago , the city of sunny isles beach had to be built from the ground up . initially by focusing on providing essential services like policing and code enforcement . then by constructing infrastructure like parks , a school and library , government and community center . the city’s cultural & community services department has consistently risen to the occasion as the city grew and became more diverse by creating wonderful programming for these facilities . but now , with the creation of this plan , the city is ready to take its next step in its quest to improve the quality of life for our citizens .

in an effort to avoid capture , the doctor and steven take refuge in a room wherein an experiment in molecular dissemination is taking place . the experiment reaches its climax as sara enters the room , and the three of them are transported to the distant planet mira , much to the annoyance of karlton , who has been sent to regain the taranium . karlton orders the scientists to keep an eye out for signs of life on mira and goes to report to chen . karlton suggests to chen that he should pretend that this was all part of chen ' s plan and he purposely transported the taranium to mira as it is closer to kembel and the daleks could get it more easily .

i guess it was a let down . i can’t really argue with you . but at the same time , i really enjoyed it – it didn’t feel like a letdown to me . part of it was that this was the only saw film i saw in a theater . the rest i caught on dvd . i think being these with an opening weekend crowd made it more fun , and compensated for what probably is , in all fairness , a meh final chapter .

in 2013 , mcgann reappeared as the lead in the mini - episode the night of the doctor .

there is no other horror film series that comes anywhere close to this kind of unified narrative . the friday the 13 th and nightmare on elm street movies weren’t building off previous installments . the final destination movies , released concurrently with the saws , were basically a series of remakes . the scream movies had some continuity , but they certainly weren’t that complex , and there were only three ( soon to be four , but that’ll be a reboot ) . generally when it comes to slasher flicks , you keep the villain the same , but rotate in a new cast of pretty young lambs to the slaughter . the guys behind saw didn’t get that memo .

he tells a funny story about harry potter and puberty . " in the second film , there was a shot where i had to hitch my trouser legs up to show i ' m not wearing socks , and at 12 my legs were way too hairy , and they said , ' nobody ' s going to believe any 12 - year - old would have that much hair ' , so they had to shave two inches up from my ankle . "

the energy counter leads the monk to the landing site of the tardis , but it has been removed by the egyptians . however , the monk follows the trail into the pyramid . the doctor follows . the monk soon uncovers the tardis and tries to enter it but is confronted by the doctor . the monk tries to befriend the doctor in order to gain access to the tardis and the taranium , but the doctor sees through this and moves towards the monk as if to attack him .

by the time he ' d made the fourth film , and was past the halfway mark , he decided it would be foolish to stop . by then he felt he was mastering his craft . actually , he says , it wasn ' t growing up in public that he found so difficult as learning how to act in public . what does he look back at with embarrassment ? " god ! loads of stuff . my acting lessons are there for all to see . that ' s essentially what the films are , us learning to act . "

the monk says that he was able to bypass the dimensional control that the doctor sabotaged in the time meddler .

outside the tardis , the doctor overhears the daleks ' plans for his spaceship . the two daleks refer to the imminent beginning of operation inferno . the doctor slinks off into the jungle leaving the two daleks guarding his ship .

the people who know the saw movies only from the advertisements assume their appeal is the twisted traps . but for the fans , it’s the twisted plotlines that has us counting the days until halloween .

‘eastwatch by the sea is the closest part of the wall to the gods eye . harrenhall is on the northern shore of the gods eye . the writers have dropped hints about the gods eye for years and have always discussed the riverlands with great detail . ’

with the daleks destroyed and sara dead , the doctor and steven return to the tardis and leave the planet kembel .

last year the city commission in partnership with the sunny isles beach foundation made a decision to create a more formal vision for arts and culture in the city . the goal is to create a greater sense of community identity , to leverage arts for creative place - making , and enhance the overall quality of life that bridges all divides in our extremely diverse population , and crosses all demographics . in furtherance of that goal , we engaged world - wide experts in the field of cultural planning , aea consulting , to evaluate our programming , survey our residents and businesses alike , examine our capital infrastructure and do some organizational planning . at the heart of this plan is a shared belief that the arts are an essential part of the engine for the creation of community , quality of life and overall sense of well - being .

was he aware how much harry would change his life when he was offered the part ? " no , i knew i was signing on for the first two , that four books had come out . warner genuinely didn ' t know at that stage if they were going to make more than one film . if it flopped , then they certainly weren ' t going to put up all that money again . " did he ever consider exercising his opt - out clause ? " by the third film , i thought , if there ' s a time to get out , it ' s now ; there ' s still enough time for another actor to come in and establish himself . for a while , i thought , if i do all of them , will i be able to move on to other stuff or should i start doing other stuff now ? but in the end i decided i was having way too much fun . and actually there aren ' t many great parts out there for teenage boys , certainly not as good as harry potter . "

the travellers have escaped once more from the daleks . the tardis arrives at their next destination and , checking the controls , the doctor discovers that the atmosphere outside is completely poisonous .

correction : yes mb the screens showed the police station , but i still believe that the pictures showed the test subjects .

great point . jigsaw , of course , would claim that none of his games are about revenge . but in the first film , he chooses one victim who attempted suicide , and one victim who’s a junkie . then he chooses dr . gordon , who… cheats on his wife . and how does jigsaw know he’s been cheating on his wife ? because jigsaw hired a private detective to follow him around . it does really seem like jigsaw wanted to put his doctor in a trap , and set out to find a reason for doing so .

i waited a while to watch this one , and i ' m glad i did not see it in the cinema . i admire the first original eight films in the jönssonligan series ( 1981 - 2000 ) very much . i think they are genuine , funny and full of wonderful moments . they weren ' t just about the heists and plans , but about the sympathetic characters . all of those eight films bring a smile to my face because how wonderfully honest they are with both humor and cleverness , all mixed in a nice lighthearted bowl . i was excited when i heard an origin film was to be made . but , after seeing the advertisement for it i felt completely and utterly let down .

the surprise box - office hit is just the juice the director needed to launch a cinematic universe .

the best criminals in the world . the biggest heist of their lives . one day to make it happen

the doctor says that the way to defeat the daleks is ' to look back in the history of the year 2157 ' [ he either simply gets the date of the invasion wrong , or this is when the dalek campaign against earth ( meteors , etc . ) began ( the dalek invasion of earth ) . ]

home truths , the drowned world , the guardian of the solar system , the anachronauts , the little drummer boy , and an ordinary life take place between " the feast of steven " and " volcano " .

spoiler alert : split in itself is already a sequel of sorts to shyamalan’s film unbreakable , though we won’t say what gives that fact away . ( read here if you must know . ) but now that spilt is a box - office hit , shyamalan can go full steam ahead with building an entire unbreakable cinematic universe ( who knew that would ever be a thing ? ) . cinematic worlds are all the rage now , and it would probably make universal very happy to nurture another little franchise , especially if future films within it can be made on budgets as low as split ’s ( a shocking $ 9 million ) .

radcliffe says he doesn ' t want to sound ungrateful . " i know that potter is going to be with me for the rest of my life , so to try to set a goal where nobody talks about that any more is stupid . it would be like… paul mccartney might have gone on to do a lot of other things , but people are always going to want to talk about the beatles . it ' s just a fact of your life , so you can ' t get annoyed by it or resent it . you have to embrace the fact that you were involved in this incredibly cool thing that did wonders for the british film industry and though you might not always be happy with the work you did on it , the opportunity it has given you to forge a career for yourself is amazing . "

one thing he prefers about making smaller films these days is that it ' s over and done with so much quicker . he talks about the final scene in harry potter which took four months to shoot . " it ' s almost impossible to film a scene for four months . it ' s a great scene , but it does make it harder to keep energy up for that time . we filmed kill your darlings in 25 days ; nine pages a day , which is faster than some tv shows . and that ' s exciting , you ' ve got no time to slow it down . i loved it . i wish all my films could be done at that pace . "

the monk was stuck on the ice planet . ( there is no reason to believe this — the directional unit was taken , not the means to travel . )

in coronas of the sun , when the doctor orders steven , from inside the tardis , to give up the taranium , his voice is briefly " dalekised . "

as the doctor goes back to the tardis the egyptians have mustered together their army and are also making their way to the rendezvous point at the same time as the doctor , chen and the daleks are . the doctor arrives late to the meeting and uses a large slab of stone to protect him from dalek fire . he is initially irate that chen brought two daleks but chen protests he has no power over the daleks . the doctor orders that his friends be let go . the daleks comply . the doctor tells chen to come and join him behind the rock and he will give him the taranium . as this happens the egyptians attack and chen snatches the mineral away from the doctor . a large battle ensues between the egyptians and the daleks . large swathes of egyptians are killed but some dalek casualties are sustained by the egyptians using rocks to hem them in .

the short story katarina in the underworld tells what became of katarina ' s soul after her death . it is one of the few officially licenced doctor who stories to deal with the concept of the afterlife .

perhaps none of the sequels live up to the first , but after reading this , it seems that comparing the films side - by - side in that way is missing the point . from your writing , it seems like the experience of the entire series is the payoff . which is really strange , cause the writing and directing team behind the films has changed a few times .

chen notes that the people of the planet tisar and the entity gris have both tried to depose zephon recently . the indigenous population of mira are the visians ( who are invisible and , according to the doctor , eight feet tall and extremely vicious ) .

on the tardis the doctor fits the directional unit but warns his companions that if it doesn ' t work it could destroy the central unit of the tardis and render it immobile . steven states that they have no choice . reluctantly the doctor agrees and steven pulls the lever . a large flash of light and smoke billow from the unit as the tardis veers dramatically to one side .

when the doctor and his friends steal a dalek scout ship , the doctor says he is getting used to dalek technology . during the hollywood sequence the doctor meets bing crosby .

anyway , no i don’t believe gordon did help with the games ( we see hoffman take out a box with bobby’s game plans , so in the saw universe that’s what happened , unless it’s proven otherwise in another film ) . plus all of the billy tapes for bobby , nina , suzanne , cale and joyce were not by john , it was hoffman . you can tell by the words billy uses . one obvious clue was there was no wit added in the tapes and they were just to straightforward . i don’t believe there will be a saw 8 — at least not in 2011 . no closure for john and his work or the films ( “all of my work as being leading to this” . to what ? ) . he allowed jill to die after promising a way out for her . so many more questions brought up than answered , just lazy storytelling . so we’ll have to go with this flat “final chapter” . it was a let down–it really was .

after the doctor stole the directional unit from his tardis , the monk was stranded on the ice planet , the name of which he never learned , for a considerable length of time . however , he was eventually able to repair his tardis sufficiently to allow him to leave the planet , though he had not been able to replace the directional unit by the time that he encountered the doctor ' s eighth incarnation in the abbey of kells in ireland in 1006 . ( audio : the book of kells )

i think the other two with dr gordon at the end are his wife and son… . i noticed one was shorter than the other .

the following episode , volcano , continues in the same light hearted vein , with the tardis arriving first at a cricket match and later during new year festivities in trafalgar square . it is only after these diversions that the focus returns to the main plot . worth mentioning here , though , is the reappearance of the doctor ' s old acquaintance the monk from the time meddler - the first instance in the series ' history of a ( non - regular ) character from one story returning in a later one .

sara and steven return to the landing site of the tardis and assume that the tardis has been taken as treasure and go into the pyramid . there they find the tardis but no sign of the doctor . as they search a sarcophagus begins to open and a bandaged hand emerges .

i think the movie focusing on the key in that opening shot , and having jigsaw mention it again at the end , is needlessly confusing .

back on kembel the dalek time machine has arrived and is staffed by a fleet of daleks and chen . as the ship dematerialises , the daleks are led in a chant stating that the destruction of the universe is now within their grasp .
