" endless love " was panned by numerous critics for poorly handling the source material as well as glorifying what audiences saw as an unhealthy , damaging relationship .

what is the song used in endless love when the movie first starts from 0 . 03 to 0 . 45 please help me out ? ? ? ?

" endless love " was filmed in chicago , new york city and long island , new york . it was originally given a " x " rating , but the film was re - edited to earn a " r " ratiing .

as silly romantic fluff goes , “endless love” seems harmless , and they both seem like sweet kids . if you’re a fan of the novel , don’t even bother , because it will drive you berserk in a totally different way that franco zeffirelli’s awful 1981 film did , but if you’re just looking for a painless valentine’s day date , it is certainly better than “winter’s tale . ” “endless love” opens tomorrow .

the mpaa awarded the initial cut of endless love an x rating . director franco zeffirelli subsequently made several cuts in the love scenes between brooke shields and martin hewitt to achieve a lower rating . the film was re - submitted to the mpaa five times before they awarded it an r rating .

in 2014 , scott spencer ( the author of the novel on which the film was based ) wrote , " i was frankly surprised that something so tepid and conventional could have been fashioned from my slightly unhinged novel about the glorious destructive violence of erotic obsession " .

“as if this film weren’t trippy enough , ” one of the colourists quipped .

this remake of the brooke shields’ 1981 film is getting better reviews than the original . however , why would producers want to remake the original ? roger ebert would probably turn over in his grave if he knew “endless love” was remade after all the blundering mistakes that earned a 2 out of 5 stars on his scale . “endless love” became a movie after successful book , yet even the second adaptation couldn’t get it right .

“anyone unfamiliar with the story of scott spencer’s novel is bound to be mystified by franco zeffirelli’s latest film , which reduces endless love to a whimperingly latter - day romeo and juliet with a little pyromania thrown in . ” —janet maslin , in the new york times

when beautiful jade ( gabriella wilde ) meets charismatic david ( alex pettyfer ) , her sheltered world of privilege is turned upside down as the pair ' s instant desire sparks a reckless summer love affair . while jade leaves behind her inhibitions and innocence as she falls for david , he works to prove himself worthy of her love . but when david ' s mysterious past and jade ' s overprotective father threaten to tear them apart , their romance will be put to the ultimate test . ( original title - endless love ( 2014 ) )

this is supposed to be a film about the throes of teenage first love—a love you would go to jail for , set a house on fire for , a love that requires a restraining order—but it ' s awfully tasteful and emotionally detached in its blissed - out depiction of beautiful young people cavorting in the sunlight .

" endless love " has a chock full of cliches , melodrama , and cheese , but this was quite the surprise for a february romance film . the cast is convincing in their roles and the drama works more effectively than it should . it isn ' t the most assured film from a directorial standpoint , but it gets the job done for what it is .

feste re - wrote the script , which was originally penned by josh safran . universal’s vp of production kristin lowe and creative exec chloe yellin will oversee “ endless love ” for the studio .

" endless love " conveys precious little of that crazy , mixed - up feeling , even with powder keg robert patrick ( as david ' s dad ) in the cast . by the time restraining orders are threatened you ' re wondering if someone pre - issued a restraining order against the film itself .

both times scott spencer’s novel “endless love” has been adapted to the bigscreen , there have been fundamental changes made to the source material to such a degree that it’s apparent the filmmakers are uneasy with the book .

in 2014 , scott spencer , the author of the novel on which the film was based , wrote , " i was frankly surprised that something so tepid and conventional could have been fashioned from my slightly unhinged novel about the glorious destructive violence of erotic obsession " . [ 4 ] spencer described the film as a " botched " job and wrote that franco zeffirelli " egregiously and ridiculously misunderstood " the novel . [ 5 ]

my brother david lives in olde town conyers and stopped by today on the set of “endless love” with his friend lamont . he chatted with some camera operators . he said they were very nice , and friendly .

in both spencer’s novel and the earlier film of “endless love , ’’ david sets a fire that leads to an increasingly awful series of tragedies . it’s not really spoiling anything to report that in this low - stakes version , the fire is an accident that triggers a happy ending . like i said , lame .

what happens in " endless love " ? the boy / man , david , teaches the girl / woman , jade , to live . he proves his worth by fighting for their endless love against all predictable obstacles . bruce greenwood is obstacle no . 1 , jade ' s controlling doctor father . with jade ' s summer internship looming , the kids / adults make sweet love by firelight , and then in a montage set to an overhelpful country - folk ballad , they squirt each other with water guns . also there ' s a house fire , which figured rather differently into the action of the novel and the first film .

alongside the reboots of " robocop " and " about last night , " this week ' s bizarre " i love the ' 80s " multiplex tribute continues with the remake of " endless love , " a movie just begging to go up in the flames of camp . if only somebody had brought a match .

. the film was released the next day . despite the poor critical reception , the film was a box office success . it made $ 4 , 163 , 623 on its opening weekend and went on to gross $ 31 , 184 , 024 in total , becoming the twenty - second highest earning film domestically in 1981 .

the film , which is more about endlessness than love , comes from the scott spencer novel about the obsessive arsonist and the rich girl he loves , endlessly . franco zeffirelli filmed a wildly unfaithful version in 1981 , to mass derision and pretty good box office . the new film leaves out most of the story ' s uncomfortable bits and maintains a bland , glum prettiness in place of feverish desire and sociopathology . no strain or fuss here , no hint of voyeuristic craziness or stalker behavior . call it " endless love , within reasonable limits . "

as it is , the film is just crappy , sappy , pg - 13 valentine ' s day drivel .

endless love , the 1979 best - seller by two - time national book award finalist scott spencer that was adapted for a 1983 brooke shields movie , opens feb . 14 in its second movie adaptation , starring gabriella wilde and alex pettyfer .

" endless love " - - which stars alex pettyfer and gabriella wilde as the two lovebirds and bruce greenwood as a highly overprotective father - - could bring in $ 13 million to $ 15 million , after costing $ 20 million to make .

this footnote was added on 5 november 2014 . subsequent to publication , nolan disputed the quote attributed to him by snyder . according to nolan , he had told snyder , “we shouldn’t be chasing other movies , but stay true to the tone of man of steel . ”

shana feste’s endlessly lame “endless love’’ remake turns the obsessive sexual heat way down from the infamous 1981 brooke shields vehicle — while also tossing out the tragedies of scott spencer’s acclaimed source novel ( but keeping diana ross and lionel richie’s original theme song ) .

‘tis the month for endless chick - flick marathons , excessive chocolate eating and harboring resentments against men not being any male character from nicholas sparks’ novels .

the 2014 version scored 13 percent on rotten tomatoes — even worse than the brooke shields original ( 25 percent ) , but better than winter ' s tale , the new adaptation of spencer ' s fellow guggenheim fellow mark helprin ' s 1983 literary hit , which scored 12 percent .

director shana feste ( country strong ) , captures a romantic drama about jade , a privileged girl who falls in love with a rebellious but charismatic boy whose instant connection sparks a love affair made only more difficult by parents trying to keep them apart . the film stars alex pettyfer ( magic mike ) and gabriella wilde ( the three musketeers )

unlike franco zeffirelli’s notoriously over - the - top 1981 filmization of scott spencer’s novel , shana feste’s “endless love” seems less a misguided adaptation than a deliberate , flat - out rewrite . feste and co - scripter joshua safran turn a dark tale of self - destructive romantic obsession into an innocuous fairy tale about the shining power of puppy love , set in an insulated universe [ … ]

scott spencer is the author of ten novels , including endless love , waking the dead , a ship made of paper , and man in the woods . his nonfiction has appeared in rolling stone , the new yorker , o , harper’s , and the new york times .

starring colin farrell , jennifer connelly and russell crowe , " winter ' s tale " is expected to generate slightly less than " endless love . " farrell plays a burglar with supernatural abilities who tries to save a young woman played by jessica brown findlay , best known as the late

understandable . spencer’s novel is not a sweet and simple love story by any means . it is a look back at the temporary madness that comes from that first wild love that people often encounter , and what happens when it’s not temporary and it’s not as harmless as people make it out to be . spencer’s novel is dark , and it both opens with and builds to a fire that is truly catastrophic and tragic . shana feste’s film “endless love” shares character names and some plot points with the book , but it is telling an entirely different kind of story , one that almost feels like a complete refutation of the points made by the novel .

the lives of a young couple intertwine with a much older man , as he reflects back on a past love .

song as david sneaks back into the house after all the lights go off . they make love by the fire .

the film was released in july 1981 and received negative reviews , with critics comparing it unfavorably to the novel . spencer disliked it , believing the filmmakers to have missed the point of the book . the film was a moderate box - office success , and its theme song , performed by diana ross and lionel richie and also called " endless love " , became a # 1 hit on the billboard hot 100 . it spent nine weeks at # 1 and received academy award and golden globe nominations for " best original song , " along with five grammy nominations .

it perfectly describes jade ' s loss of innocence and how she opens up to this world of passion and young love .

the romantic notion that there exists one very special person . . . one you ' ll want to be with for the rest of your life , is at the heart and soul of scott spencer ' s novel endless love , which now arrives in its second , superior incarnation on the big screen .

[ last lines ] jade butterfield : my first love was everything all at once . the kind you never fall back from . never try to . never want to . a love so big . so strong . it never dies . never fades . never losses its electricity . the kind of love you fight for . the kind of boy you fight for . see more »

i know it’s not really the done thing for authors to speak ill of the folks who are turning his or her work into a movie . we love movies , and the reflected glamor of being involved in one is difficult for most people to resist . but since i haven’t met anyone involved in the making of this new endless love i haven’t been charmed by any of them . plus this : i have read the script .

internationally , the film took in a further $ 1 , 308 , 650 bringing its total worldwide gross to $ 32 , 492 , 674 .

this sugary remake ( or re - adaptation , whatever ) is an innocuous fairy tale about the shining power of puppy love .

i saw the film when released in the hollywood version scott disliked . i have also seen the director ' s cut release of the film 25 years after the 1982 hollywood verson . the new york times has an interesting review and history of the film . near the end of the film , roy baty saves deckard in his final act , demonstrating androids capacity for empathy . in the novel , deckard grapples with the distinction and ultimately decides to quit his job as a bounty hunter , alluded to in the film ' s beginning . he realizes in the novel the distinction doesn ' t matter . to paraphrase one of deckard ' s comments in the novel : even androids have a life , no matter how paltry it is .

if that all sounds familiar , it’s because this is not , as it claims , a remake of endless love , but a remake , rip - off and complete and total bastardization of say anything as reimagined by a 14 year old in the middle of a sob - filled fight with its parents about curfew .

scott spencer advises people who might celebrate valentine ' s day by seeing the new film version of his 1979 best - seller to avoid it instead .

see i loved the book and wasn ' t so much a fan of the film . i agree with mark norris ' s comment as well .

compared the film unfavourably with the novel , describing martin hewitt as miscast and criticising the narrative , though he did praise brooke shields ' s performance .

it was not my first encounter with nolan : i met him at the very beginning of his career , in 2000 , just before the us release of memento , which had just come out of sundance . sitting in a red banquette at canter’s deli in los angeles , nolan was the picture of the hopeful young film - maker , genuinely pleased to have someone to talk to about his film . he seemed a little nervous about memento’s reception , and most relaxed when talking about the technicalities of its backwards - running time scheme . the film was shot for a mere $ 4 . 5 million , but after three screenings for studio heads in los angeles , it was turned down by almost every distributor in town , including the weinsteins – causing steven soderbergh , an early fan of the film , to comment , “when a film like chris nolan’s memento cannot get picked up , to me independent film is over . ”

however , the movie more than anything else is gentle . the music is gentle . the stakes are gentle . even when david punches hugh in the face , it’s gentle . the whole film was like an assault with a delicate weapon , like being beaten to death with a dandelion . which is strange for something trying so hard to be passionate ! and important ! teen love is the only love ! there’s a half - assed theme of fighting for love , but the fights are so gentle , if it wasn’t repeated ad nauseum in the script , you’d never know .

a privileged girl and a charismatic boy ' s instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .

franco zeffirelli’s operatic original is a pretty bad movie , but it did have a clear agenda : to exploit shields’ notoriety as a teenage hottie , coming on the heels of “the blue lagoon . ’’ the film’s brilliant tag line : “she is 15 . he is 17 . the love every parent fears . ”

i love blade runner . i splashed out £££ on a snazzy remastered version with an additional 10 seconds of footage and a commentary which adds nothing to the film . i will probably go and see the sequel , if they ever manage to make it . i even wrote a ya novel in homage to it .

locating the remake ' s setting in georgia does nothing for the story ; the reasons likely had everything to do with that state ' s generous film production tax incentives .

as for this story , i’m kinda curious as to why it’s completely apparent to me , yet totally missed by a surprising amount of people how much of this story is in the crazy boy’s head . there’s another , much darker and more satisfying film to be made about how horrible love can be and how obsession leads to insanity , but i guess idyllic teenage love that’s so pure you could die from sugar shock is more marketable this time of year . oh well .

everyone , that is , but jade’s father hugh ( bruce greenwood ) . still mourning the loss of a son from cancer , he likens david’s courtship of jade to losing another child . the character turns the film from a love story to a tale of one man’s deepening psychosis , as he attempts to put one barrier after another between the young lovers . but , the film insists , any obstacle can be barreled over by a young - lovers - having - fun montage set to sensitive music .

if there’s any redeeming value to the film , it’s as a case study of how far an adaptation can stray from the source material while still remaining , technically , an adaptation . the film features many scenes with analogues to the novel , but they’ve been emptied out and drastically reworked , most notably a house fire that sets the novel into motion , but here shows up much later , and serves a considerably different purpose . that purpose , as with every element in the film , is to confirm the rightness of jade and david’s passion for each other , any outside objections be damned . that’s far removed from the source , but more troublingly , presented in the least challenging way possible . of course these kids belong together . they look great next to each other ! endless love never tries to look beneath that pretty surface . or maybe it doesn’t dare , knowing there’s nothing to be found .

this remake has almost nothing to do with spencer ' s novel . it ' s the kind of film you make when you ' ve run out of nicholas sparks books .

a fire at the butterfields’ — which , in both the novel and 1981 film , was set by david and provided the primal act that precipitated tragedy — here ignites by accident and sets hugh on the road to redemption . he is merely the last of the butterfields to tell david how wonderfully his love has illuminated his life .

the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .

1 . safer for kids : like the 1981 version with brooke shields , endless love was adapted from the novel by scott spencer . the author wasn ' t involved in the project , having signed away the movie rights and remake rights in 1980 . this latest iteration makes numerous changes , including setting the story in georgia ( instead of chicago ) and throwing water on the obsessive protagonist ' s arsonist tendencies ( this hotheaded david only uses his fists ) . the new film also targets the teen demographic by toning down the action for a pg - 13 rating .

not great , not good , not putrid . worth a look if you think you can . it held my interest as of the father greenwood . do not have the film .

roger ebert gave the film two stars , saying , " although there are a great many things wrong with the movie , this blunder on the narrative level is the worst " .

the story is of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .

watching " endless love , " you long for it to be riskier , edgier , or at least more reflective of actual teenage experiences and emotions . even the partying feels false , with freshly scrubbed kids talking about getting drunk and high without actually taking part in such activities or indicating their eventual effects . ( ostensibly , this creative decision was intended to secure a pg - 13 rating . )

whether he had indeed made a great film was not obvious to him , but that alone seemed to satisfy him : he had found one more thing he could reasonably claim uncertainty about .

it was directed by franco zeffirelli & starred brooke shields , martin hewitt , shirley knight , don murray , james spader , richard kiley and tom cruise ( in his film debut ) .

why i watched this one ? brooke shields ' endless love was the first r rated movie i that i actually was able to see in theaters ( nobody asked me for an id ) without parental supervision . body heat was the second one just in case you were wondering . so since the original has that piece of worthless cogerson trivia . . . i figured i would check out the remake .

after opening on wednesday , the $ 120 - million " robocop , " an update on the 1987 sci - fi film , is expected to gross roughly $ 25 million through the holiday .

we get the sense that this film , which stars gabriella wilde and alex pettyfer , might not have the very happiest of endings , but it definitely looks like one to watch . . .

a modern - day take on the " beauty and the beast " tale where a new york teen is transformed into a hideous monster in order to find true love .

i find david ' s idealistic view on love a little far - fetched , because i can only imagine guys his age chasing girls all day and avoiding committed relationships .

it didn’t work to completely eliminate nolan’s nerves in the weeks preceding the film’s release . would the audience be able to follow the science ? would they be able to let go of the science and follow the emotion ? had he got the balance of story and spectacle right ? “i’ve always believed that if you want to really try and make a great film , not a good film , but a great film , you have to take a lot of risks , ” he told me . “it was very clear to me that if you’re going to make a film called interstellar , it’s going to have to be something extremely ambitious . you push it in all the possible directions you can . not for its own sake , but because you know that if you’re going to try to add something to the canon , besides fiction films and all the rest , and live up to the promise of that title and the scale of that title , you really have to go there . ”

a rebellious girl is sent to a southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father . through their mutual love of music , the estranged duo learn to reconnect .

the turnaround came at the venice film festival , where someone had told nolan the crowd could be particularly fierce . the film ended rather abruptly , to a black screen , and for a few seconds , there was silence . nolan had no idea what was about to happen . “i kind of liked that , ” he recalled . “i was very frightened , but i felt proud of that emotion . ”

and if you have not seen either , i wholly recommend viewing the two in this order because the contrast is so stark you may actually go blind . watching the two in succession was like eating a dry piece of toast and following it by swallowing a live grenade . the original endless love is so bonkers it scored “next level” on the mantzoukas scale and immediately won a place in my heart alongside mariah carey’s epic , gliter .

girl talk is a weekly look at women in film — past , present , and future . while hollywood continues to struggle towards parity in the director’s chair , the film festival world is playing major catch - up . at this year’s sxsw film festival , the push towards parity is becoming more of a reality than ever before , as 33 % of all feature films at the fest are directed by women , while the shorts section boasts 59 % female directorship across its slate . it’s a stark difference to the studio side of the industry . the usc annenberg inclusion initiative’s latest study , “inclusion in the director’s chair ? gender , race & age of directors across 1 , 000 films from 2007 - 2017 , ” found that , of the 109 film directors associated with the 100 top movies of 2017 , 92 . 7 percent were male ; 7 . 3 percent were female . days later , the san diego state university ’s center for the study of women in television and film followed with the “celluloid ceiling” study ,

it should come as no surprise that the maker of memento and inception – two masterpieces of watchmaker cinema – should have wound up at the door of albert einstein , who deduced the postulates of relativity while processing patents for clocks at a bern patent office . few , though , could have anticipated the emotional resonance he gets from relativity in the film , as mcconaughey and his crew set down on a water planet where every hour spent means a seven - year chunk missed from his daughter’s life back on earth . to say that interstellar is nolan’s most emotional film isn’t exactly accurate . it actually puts the audience through an entirely new species of emotion : a fiendish compound of grief , longing , loss and awe at time’s immensity . this is how love shows up in a christopher nolan film .

two crazy kids just out of high school fall madly in love even though alex pettyfer looks like he’s 30 . still it’s a harmless romance movie that is entirely melodramatic but watchable .

the only thing i enjoy more than watching an oscar - worthy film in theaters is watching a horribly scripted rom - com with wooden actors , cliche dialogue , bad accents , nonsensical plots and diabolical dads . so you can only imagine how much i loved watching endless love this week . you know what , i take that back . you can ' t imagine that , because never in the history of horrible movies has a human being enjoyed a movie this much . i loved it so much that i ' m tempted to march right back to that theater , steal the movie from them and take it out on a swanky valentine ' s day date .

the actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .

the soundtrack features music from many contemporary artists , including popular duo tegan and sara who perform an original song specifically made for the film , nonono , as well as the bird and the bee featuring matt berninger .

what none of these folks seem to get is that endless love was meant to be a knife to the reader’s heart , not the writer’s . as that old elegant italian filmmaker was giving me fair warning , it turned out the knives were being sharpened for him , and—unfortunately—for several of his principal actors . and now a second generation is blundering into their own valentine’s day massacre . as the late leonard michaels said , i would have saved them if i could .

alex pettyfer and gabriella wilde star in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart .

karyn kusama , who directed the 2o16 logan marshall - green cult horror thriller “ the invitation , ” has signed on to direct the upcoming fox horror film “ breed , ” and she’s bringing her team with her . “invitation” writers and producers phil hay and matt manfredi will reprise those roles for “ breed , ” which is based on a novel of the same name by chase novak — whose pen name is scott spencer ( “ endless love , ” “ waking the dead ” ) . “ breed ” follows an upscale new york couple who are struggling to conceive a child and turn to a questionable and controversial eastern european clinic . ten years later , after - effects from that procedure .

in short , director and co - writer shana feste has remade " endless love " but she ' s taken out all the crazy . not that the original was all that great to begin with ; a six - time razzie award nominee , it was screechy , melodramatic and over - acted , with an awkwardly flat lead performance from brooke shields . but at least it had passion . pettyfer and wilde look lovely together—although they ' re both in their mid - 20s playing 17 - year - olds , and it shows—and they do enjoy some real chemistry throughout their flirtatious , falling - in - love stage . but the sense that something vital is at stake is woefully lacking .

endless love was botched - misquoted , as it were - once in 1981 , when franco zeffirelli tried to make a movie out of it , and it seems as if it has been even more egregiously and ridiculously misunderstood in the movie universal pictures is releasing . ( i gave up control of the movie rights to my novel in 1980 . ) i had brief contact with the first filmmakers who tried to adapt my novel , and i had no contact whatsoever with the second wave .

“i have been shocked to realise how much more emotional this film is , ” nolan said a day later , when i met him at the officers of his production company , a tan bungalow nestled on the warner bros lot amid palm trees and azaleas , just a stone’s throw from clint eastwood’s malpaso productions . the extreme reaction has taken him aback , he said . “i have spent years of my life thinking only about this film and i mean only this film . the responses where it’s lacking – ‘it’s just a movie and it’s pretty good , i liked it’ – they are the things that kill you . this is my obsession for years , you just pour yourself into it . ”

this is nothing like the film ! i raged internally . i mean , this dick fellow writes about the future . why couldn’t he predict the movie version would be awesome and pre - write his novel to be just like it ?

the force spearheading this new version of endless love was the producer of a long - running teen soap opera . i was familiar enough with the movie business to know the difference between a development deal and an actual motion picture . the movie business is full of false starts , projects begun and abandoned , fanfares trumpeted in front of doors that never open , stars that implode , directors who fall out of favor , executives who are fired , schedules that conflict , budgets that balloon and then burst .

a number of key scenes from the film were shot on location at jackson lake in butts county . the county film liaison worked closely with the georgia power company , who manages the lake , to secure the necessary permits for filming scenes in the water . a private lake house was also secured and utilized for over two weeks to shoot the lake scenes . because of the close working relationship between the county government and georgia power , the permitting process was accomplished in a day .

5 . " my love , there ' s only you in my life… " : don ' t expect to hear the title song made insanely popular by diana ross and lionel richie ( and later covered by mariah carey and luther vandross ) . instead , twin sisters tegan and sara perform a new theme for this reboot , " don ' t find another love . " other musical contributions include " pumpin blood " by nonono , " right action " by franz ferdinand , and a soundtrack by composer christophe beck , who has scored such hits as the hangover trilogy , crazy , stupid , love . , pitch perfect , and the muppets .

the film was also noted to have one of the most spectacular one - man stunt displays when hugh butterfield gets hit by a car in new york city & the stuntman does a high end - over - end flip in mid - air .

the film ' s theme song , written by lionel richie and performed by richie and diana ross and also called " endless love " , became a # 1 hit on the billboard hot 100 , and was the biggest - selling single in ross ' career . billboard magazine chose it as " the best duet of all time " in 2011 , 30 years after its debut . it spent 9 weeks at # 1 and received academy award and golden globe nominations for " best original song " , along with 5 grammy nominations . the soundtrack peaked at # 9 on the billboard top 200 and was certified platinum . it also featured a second duet between ross and richie , " dreaming of you , " that received considerable airplay but was never released as a single .


the last sentence ( swedish : dom över död man ; judgement on the dead ) is a swedish film from 2012 , directed by jan troell and starring jesper christensen , pernilla august , björn granath and ulla skoog .

it is set between 1933 and 1945 , and focuses on the life and career of torgny segerstedt , a swedish newspaper editor who was a prominent critic of hitler and the nazis during a period when the swedish government and monarch were intent on maintaining sweden 's neutrality and avoiding tensions with germany .

the film also deals with segerstedt 's relations with his wife , his mistress , and his mistress 's husband ( who was a close friend of segerstedt ) .

the film 's swedish title , dom över död man , comes from a line in the old norse poem hávamál : " cattle die , kinsmen die , thou wilt also die ; but i know one thing that never dies : the judgment on the dead " .

amazingly , troell still operates his own camera . " the last sentence " was made digitally , and his attention to detail is remarkable .

if you begin your quotation of an author in the middle of a sentence , you need not indicate deleted words with an ellipsis . be sure , however , that the syntax of the quotation fits smoothly with the syntax of your sentence :

‘i was there the day he said he’d written the last sentence . he came in like he’d won the world cup ! then he explained that though he’d written the last lines , he still had half the book to write . ’

with " the last sentence , " veteran swedish director jan troell serves up a well - mannered biography of a man known for anything but his restraint .

the conversation and the examination of the accounts with mitenka did not last long .

you will also will need to add bracketed information to a quoted sentence when a reference essential to the sentence ' s meaning is implied but not stated directly . read the following paragraphs from robert jastrow ' s " toward an intelligence beyond man ' s " :

a leading swedish newspaper editor who staunchly opposed hitler ' s fascism and his own nation ' s neutrality during wwii is the subject of jan troell ' s " the last sentence . "

in quoting this sentence , you would need to identify whom the pronoun she refers to . you can do this inside the quotation by using brackets :

the last made me realize the great disappointment to the dear child more than before .

ultimately , the last sentence , despite the great performances and awesome visuals , gets too preoccupied with its own interpersonal drama and soap opera dynamics , eventually forgetting to address some of the bigger moral implications it hints at .

“the execution of the death sentence cannot be done while this court is hearing the appeal . else , it will be a violation of the vienna convention , ” lead attorney harish salve said .

jan : the title is a quotation from the icelandic saga , the hávamál : “your cattle will die , your friends will die , you will die too — but the one thing i know , that will never die , is the judgment of a dead man” — the reputation of a dead man , the last sentence . i like that title very much , because it refers to hitler , segerstedt also uses it in the film in reference to the king , and finally , segerstedt uses it against himself , in judgment of his own life . “dom över död man” means judgment or sentence over a dead man . “the last sentence” has a double meaning .

the last sentence makes for a great companion piece to jan troell ' s 1996 flick hamnsun , but sort of the opposite end of the spectrum . hamsun was about a norwegian novelist ( played by max von sydow speaking in his native swedish tongue for some reason ) who was too stubborn to outright denounce nazism while the last sentence is about a swedish journalist ( played by jesper christensen speaking in his native norwegian tongue for some reason ) who was too stubborn to ease his stance against nazism . the two films are also on their own polars stylistically ; hamsun was traditionally directed and structured , shot in color and has terrible image quality but the last sentence was neatly…

“the last sentence , ” a biographical drama about swedish newspaper editor torgny segerstedt ( 1876 - 1945 ) , exists for two equally valid reasons : its subject’s honorable public actions and his semi - tawdry personal life .

the agonizing memories ruptured to the surface at last , forcing a long overdue reaction .

using brackets use square brackets whenever you need to add or substitute words in a quoted sentence . the brackets indicate to the reader a word or phrase that does not appear in the original passage but that you have inserted to avoid confusion . for example , when a pronoun ' s antecedent would be unclear to readers , delete the pronoun from the sentence and substitute an identifying word or phrase in brackets . when you make such a substitution , no ellipsis marks are needed . assume that you wish to quote the bold - type sentence in the following passage :

though “the last sentence” was shot digitally , a first for mr . troell , it is also of a piece with his earlier films in a technical sense . like films as far back as “the emigrants” and “the new land , ” “the last sentence” is full of interior scenes that have been shot close - in , with “the richness of depth and detail in every image” that , said andrew nestingen , a professor of scandinavian and cinema studies at the university of washington , characterizes mr . troell’s work .

like any other sentence , a thesis includes a subject and a predicate , which consists of an assertion about the subject . in the sentence " lee and grant were different kinds of generals , " " lee and grant " is the subject and " were different kinds of generals " is the predicate . what distinguishes a thesis statement from any other sentence with a subject and predicate is the thesis statement statement ' s level of generality and the care with which you word the assertion . the subject of a thesis must present the right balance between the general and the specific to allow for a thorough discussion within the allotted length of the paper . the discussion might include definitions , details , comparisons contrasts - whatever is needed to illuminate a subject and carry on an intelligent conversation . ( if the sentence about lee and grant were a thesis , the reader would assume that the rest of the essay contained comparisons and contrasts between the two generals . )

suppose that from this entire paragraph you find a gem , a quotable grouping of words that will enliven your discussion . you may want to quote part of the following sentence :

the hague / new delhi : india on monday called for immediate suspension of its national kulbhushan jadhav’s death sentence and accused pakistan of violating the vienna convention by denying its 16 requests for consular access .

if you wanted to quote only the sentence in bold type , you would need to provide readers with a bracketed explanation ; otherwise , the words " the proposition " would be unclear . here is how you would manage the quotation :

though the youth at last grows indifferent , the laws of the universe are not indifferent , but are forever on the side of the most sensitive .

he managed to follow only the last words of the statutes and these remained in his mind .

it was the last spiritual struggle between life and death , in which death gained the victory .

neutrality and appeasement are the tenets that most people associate with sweden and its citizens during the second world war . the last sentence , a biopic from preeminent swedish director jan troell , shines the spotlight on one of sweden’s iconoclastic heroes of that time , torgny segerstedt , a journalist and editor who used the power of the pen and press to alert his countrymen of the dangers of hitler and nazism . while segerstedt is a well - known figure to swedes who experienced the second world war first - hand , were it not for the film the last sentence , segerstedt might have remained unfamiliar to us here in the united states , as well as to european contemporaries .

if the pronoun you want to identify occurs in the middle of the sentence to be quoted , then you ' ll need to use brackets . newspaper reporters do this frequently when quoting sources , who in interviews might say something like the following :

ten years later , in somalia , the last natural case of smallpox occurred .

we left the city last thursday night , and arrived in brewster friday afternoon .

last night i looked at the campfires and there was no end of them .

then , think about how far we have come in the last fifty years .

it would not be the first time , or the last , that ignorance in the world exacted a high price .

incorporating the quotation into the flow of your own sentence once you ' ve selected the passage you want to quote , work the material into your paper in as natural and fluid a manner as possible . here ' s how we would quote hutchins :

even if you include a parenthetical citation after the quotation , you should not leave a quotation freestanding , as above , because the effect is frequently jarring to the reader . introduce the quotation by attributing the source in some other part of the sentence - beginning , middle , or end . thus , you could write :

set amidst the political turmoil of wwii - era sweden , the last sentence tells the extraordinary story of torgny segerstedt , a journalist who embarked on a one - man crusade against hitler . bravely challenging the nazis , and his own government’s policy of neutrality , segerstedt ( jesper christensen ) , editor - in - chief of a major newspaper , fought a literal life - and - death battle over the fate of sweden . at the same time , segerstedt’s uncompromising nature led to an equally tumultuous private life , involving a scandalous love affair that crippled his family and ultimately led to tragedy . directed by swedish master jan troell , the last sentence is a complex and gripping , warts - and - all account of the man and the hero .

whenever you quote a sentence but delete words from it , as we have done , indicate this deletion to the reader by placing an ellipsis mark , three spaced periods , in the sentence at the point of deletion . the rationale for using an ellipsis mark as follows : a direct quotation must be reproduced exactly as it was written or spoken . when writers delete or change any part of the quoted material , readers must be alerted so they don ' t think that the changes were part of the original . ellipsis marks and brackets serve this purpose .
