following disastrous preview screenings for the historical drama , the solemn and mostly unexciting pg - 13 film was trimmed down significantly from over three hours to 135 minutes , and its release date was postponed from december 2003 to april 2004 when it opened on easter weekend against the immensely successful mel gibson film the passion of the christ ( 2004 ) . ron howard was to direct the originally r - rated blockbuster film , and russell crowe ( as sam houston ) was slated to star , but they both pulled out ( howard demanded a budget of $ 200 million ) , although howard remained as a producer . the delayed film faltered at a time when other disney productions were also dismal failures , including the animated feature film home on the range ( 2004 ) ( another $ 100 million production ) , hidalgo ( 2004 ) and the ladykillers ( 2004 ) with tom hanks .

fred gwynne was an actor known for his roles as herman munster on the sitcom the munsters and as the crusty judge in the film my cousin vinny .

bakker says that the model could be improved by factoring in the effect of a film ' s availability on its box - office take , for example . many people who would like to see a particular low - budget film are unable to because it is not playing in a local cinema , he says .

what a piece of junk : of the equine variety . hidalgo ' s pinto coat and feral mustang bloodline invites derision from competitors , who assume only pure - bred arabian horses can possibly survive the endurance race . having been " bred " for hardiness by the unforgiving conditions of america ' s own arid wilderness , the wild - born hidalgo beats both the desert and his rivals .

frank and hidalgo have to endure insults from the bedouins as well as that englishman , though sheikh riyadh ( omar sharif , whose entrance music is right out of ' ' lawrence of arabia ' ' ) and jazira ( zuleikha robinson ) , his feisty , clear - eyed daughter with a mane as shiny as hidalgo ' s , both come to respect them . frank and hidalgo don ' t get the same consideration from several others determined to do them in , like the riding competitor prince bin al reeh ( said taghmaoui ) , riyadh ' s dismissive aide aziz ( adam alexi - malle ) , the vicious katib ( silas carson ) and the devious lady davenport ( louise lombard ) . ( even hidalgo knows by this point never to trust british accents . )

five paints have earned starring roles in walt disney pictures ' hidalgo , an epic action - adventure movie now being filmed on location in morocco , california , montana , south dakota and texas .

the team says that the review coefficient ( the word - of - mouth component of their equation ) is a rough indicator of the film ' s quality .

a huge locust crawls on frank ' s chest as he sleeps , and more appear on hidalgo ' s tail as it swishes . suddenly , a freakish swarm of locusts appears and frank and hidalgo take cover under a blanket as the screen goes black . the next image is of a pile of dead locusts and hidalgo lying on the sand . the horse gets up and frank eats a dead grasshopper , offering one to hidalgo who decides to give it a try . to accomplish this scene , a wrangler gently dropped the insect from directly above the actor ' s body . mortensen pretends to awake and gently flicks the locust off his body and onto the ground . trainers filmed the locusts in hidalgo ' s tail in two different ways . for one take , this scene was filmed with a trainer holding a fake horse tail with the locust crawling on it ; a second version filmed the horse ' s real tail dabbed with honey so the locusts could crawl with better traction .

viggo mortensen formed such a close bond with tj ( hidalgo ) that he kept the horse after the movie . he also bought two of the horses he rode in the lord of the rings .

hidalgo , along with carlos rodriguez - sickert , an economist at the pontifical catholic university of chile , santiago , and alejandra castro of the university of michigan , ann arbor , constructed a mathematical equation that approximates box - office takings in the weeks after release . they assume that revenue relies on three major factors : the size of the possible audience , the initial desire of audience members to see the film ( which is often dictated by the amount spent on marketing and publicity ) , and audience response to the film .

disclaimer : all reviews are based solely on the opinions of the reviewer . most reviews are rated on how the reviewer enjoyed the film overall , not exclusively on content . however , if the content really affects the reviewer ' s opinion and experience of the film , it will definitely affect the reviewer ' s overall rating .

for the next act , a drunken frank rides hidalgo around the ring . as he approaches the audience , he falls off the horse and hidalgo pulls on his shirt , dragging him across the ring . for this part of the scene , a stunt man wearing a cable doubled as the actor . he wore padding under his clothes as well as a harness attached to the saddle , which two vets checked out and approved . on the trainer ' s cue , hidalgo backs up gently and pulls on the actor , the weight of whom was supported by the horse ' s saddle—not his mouth .

one of the most underrated and overlooked films ever in my opinion , hidalgo is an absolutely fantastic adventure film with a great , engaging plot , beautiful cinematography , terrific action set pieces , phenomenal direction by joe johnston and an outstanding lead performance from viggo mortensen . this really is one of my personal favorites of all time . i love this movie so much .

1 . after students watch a time to kill , i would have them be movie critics and write a review of the film . in this review students will focus on the justice / injustice of the criminal justice system . students will be asked to write down any issues that deal with the violation of human rights . students will ponder if they are satisfied with the ways that the film handled the issue of racism . students must use specific lines of the film that illustrate their perspective .

first , some background . when urltoken went live , before the release of hidalgo , the site was relatively small , with just a few pages . it included ( and still includes ) the following :

but wait , hold up a sec . so according to hollywood , frank t . hopkins was a legendary man who rode great distances on his paint mustang hidalgo to prove the breed’s value . even if you haven’t seen the film , you can just imagine the wonderful story , how incredibly visual and touching it would be for the audience . and all the marketing for the film touted it was indeed “based on a true story” . but was it really , or was hopkins just a counterfeit cowboy and gifted spinner of old west yarns ?

starring chilean actor alfredo castro ( who is better known for his work with filmmaker pablo larraín ) and the newcomer luis silva , the film tells the story of a wealthy middle - aged man who gets sexually involved with a young man from a street gang . the film was picked up for u . s . distribution by strand releasing .

though it ' s going to be a very long sit for the small fry , ' ' hidalgo ' ' was obviously inspired by carroll ballard ' s landmark 1979 horse film , ' ' the black stallion . ' ' this movie also has the handsome , weathered look of ' ' blueberry , ' ' the western comics fantasy created by moebius ( the french illustrator jean giraud ) . and like that work , the film has the feel of an exotic locale that seems to have been invented by someone who knows it only from old movies .

during the 1930s and 40s the self - proclaimed legend told a naïve american public that he had won nearly five hundred endurance races , including an imaginary race across arabia on a mythical mustang named “hidalgo . ”

the movie is introduced to you with a simple race , showing the speed and power of the main character and his horse . the story is about frank hopkins and our titular character , his horse hidalgo .

sharif published an autobiography , the eternal male ( 1977 ) , and earned renown as a bridge player , also releasing the books play bridge with omar sharif ( 1990 ) and omar sharif talks bridge ( 2004 ) . in 2003 , he received the venice film festival & apos ; s audience award and the career golden lion prize for his achievement in film . the following year he won france & apos ; s césar award for monsieur ibrahim , as well as a lifetime achievement award from the dubai international film festival .

that feat is referred to in the movie , but the heart of the picture is hopkins and hidalgo enduring and winning a cross - country , 3 , 000 - mile race on the arabian peninsula in 1891 .

when disney spun the movie ' hidalgo ' as ' based on a true story , ' questions began to fly . was its hero , frank t . hopkins , for real - - or a total fraud ?

de niro ' s been in plenty of good films , but the only film that was good because he was in it is midnight run - not the case with viggo .

hidalgo was one of the first to respond to news of the attack at an ariana grande concert on monday evening , which brought back painful memories of the carnage she saw first - hand at paris’s bataclan music hall .

hidalgo adds that thinking of films this way should help studios to decide whether to commission a sequel . even high - grossing films can be deeply unpopular with the audience , which dooms their cinematic offspring , he says .

touchstone pictures has bounced around on its claims , starting off saying the film was “based on a true story” when it was promoting the october 2003 release . then , with all the controversy surrounding the hero of the film and whether or not his story was true , fusco says the phrase was cut . but in touchstone’s final movie pitch for the march 2004 release , the studio goes all the way back—not only to saying the movie is “based on a true story” but now claiming it is “an incredible true story . ” hidalgo is hyped as “unbridled . unbroken . unbeaten . ”

since the cowboy first pointed his gun in the great train robbery in 1903 , western movies have entertained audiences the world over with their stories , landscapes and colourful cowboy characters . and thanks to the power of 2004 film hidalgo ’s visual imagery , audience interest in the genre has once again been captured . but , like my mum has always said , you can’t believe everything you see in the movies .

' ' hidalgo , ' ' which opens nationwide today , is one of the few movies that seem to be making up their plots as they go along ; actually i thought hidalgo was making up the story as he went along . the film glorifies the horse ' s questionable exploits and endurance : he ' s certainly smart enough to have typed it , not to mention shrewd enough to keep quiet . holding up his long head for dignified close - ups and flaring his nostrils for the occasional nose - bleed , the mustang brings to mind a combination of ' ' camille ' ' and ' ' national velvet . ' '

a touchstone pictures film , hidalgo stars viggo mortensen as buffalo bill’s wild west cast member and cowboy frank t . hopkins . in the movie , nate salsbury sponsors hopkins and his mustang hidalgo ( played by “t . j . ” ) in a three thousand mile race across saudi arabia in the early 1890s , pitting the pair against arabian horses , hostile and wily foreigners , and an impossible climate . the movie trailer shows a visually stunning epic starring a personable little paint horse and his disaffected , sculptured - jawed human companion who dash through a variety of locations ( including a re - creation of buffalo bill’s wild west ) and through a multitude of dangers , finally winning the day with american pluck and determination . the advertising proudly proclaims : “based on a true story . ” in the case of hidalgo , though , truth is an elusive commodity .

whenever frank , hidalgo and their competitors arrive at a rest stop , the rest of the cast is already decamped and waiting for them . the movie never gets around to explaining how so many people can outmaneuver the racers , though the gleam in hidalgo ' s eye shows he knows a lot more than he ' s letting on . either that , or he ' s waiting to get the lead in a ' ' seabiscuit ' ' series .

it was the kind of story a screenwriter couldn’t pass up , and the film was well into production when touchstone alerted him that it was getting complaints about the veracity of the story .

the mexican filmmakers gabriel ripstein and michel franco had an extraordinary year , wining major prizes at the berlinale , cannes and venice . ripstein - son of the renowned mexican director arturo ripstein - premiered his debut feature 600 miles , which was produced by franco , as the opening film of the panorama section at berlin film festival , where it received the best first feature award .

in addition to vigas ' golden lion , two other latin american filmmakers also won top prizes at the 72nd edition of the venice film festival : the argentinean director pablo trapero was awarded the silver lion for best director for his drama el clan / the clan , while the brazilian film boi neon / neon bull by gabriel mascaro was presented with the special orizzonti jury prize .

the number attempts to gauge of how good the ' word of mouth ' was around a given film , based on the behaviour of the harshest critics of all , the paying public .

roger ebert , the film critic for the chicago sun - times , called do the right thing " the finest , the most controversial , most discussed and most important film of 1989 . of course , it was not nominated for an academy award as best picture ( that award went to driving miss daisy , which has a view of race in america that is rotated just 180 degrees from lee’s ) . to an extent , ebert thinks some viewers have trouble seeing the film ; it is blurred by their deep - seated ideas and emotions about race in america , which they project onto lee , assuming he is angry or bitter . on the basis of this film it would be more accurate to call him sad , observant , realistic—or empathetic . "

maybe it’s legend , maybe it’s created , but there’s no denying frank hopkins and hidalgo live on as legends and still inspire people today . and i’ve got to admit , the movie hidalgo which follows the story of hopkins and his mustang competing against the world’s finest arabian stallions in a 3 , 000 - mile race across the arabian desert , makes for a damn good story with outstanding visuals and special effects . and i’m a sucker for a good ol’ western .

the 2016 uk film festival will serve as the world premiere of stephen cookson’s stanley , a man of variety , in which timothy spall plays all of the film’s 16 characters . the festival’s short film programme includes timecode directed by spanish director juanjo gimenez and the idyll which is directed by british director justin anderson and stars emma de caunes ( the diving bell and the butterfly ) and dougray scott ( taken 3 , mission impossible ) . one of the headlining films is the 2016 oscar nominated , everything will be okay ( alles wird gut ) directed by german director patrick vollrath .

when the information comes back about john it is all positive . john is a known man who has a history of being top of his class and active in many community / professional establishments . john said " he got so far because people were afraid to admit their predjudice " . this statement takes away some of he great ways tha john has been portryed in the film . obviously john must have worked very hard to become who he was in this film . it is surprising that john was so successful in this film , because his parents came from a working class background .

other notable productions from central america include the costa rican film viaje ( pictured right ) by paz fábrega which premiered at the tribeca film festival , the panamanian documentary invasión / invasion by abner benaim which participated at sxsw and was panama’s first submission to the oscars ever , and the salvadorian documentary alborada by paula heredia , which premiered at the havana film festival last december . additionally , the guatemalan - mexican director julio hernández cordón , one of the most prolific latin american directors of his generation , earned critical acclaim with his most recent production te prometo anarquía / i promise you anarchy .

edgeware is a sponsor of the awards and the festival’s associates include channel 4 , bfi , framestore , inktip and the lux film prize . the uk film festival runs from 22 - 26 november in events held at the bfi , 21 stephens street , london and the shortwave cinema , bermondsey square , london . the full program can be viewed at urltoken and tickets can be purchased from urltoken .

the film initiative underground has also provided three general scripts for those that need it . they can be interpreted in any way . other than that students are more than welcome to create their own .

1 . have students choose a charachter to follow through the film . students will not he justices and injustices that each characer goes through on a daily basis . students must use lines from the film to illustrate the justics and injustices . each scene that their character is in the student is to note what is happening and how they are being treated . at the end the students will present their chosen character to the class and state how well the movie represented their chosen person . students will address th issue of modern day racism . does this film represent an accurate depiction of our society today ?

hidalgo transitions from historical epic to action film when the bedouin raiders kidnap the sheikh ' s daughter . that triggers an eruption of indiana jones - style violence too intense for young viewers . an even bigger sticking point for some families will be the sheer volume of indian and muslim spirituality woven into the story . both can be navigated by mature audiences , though fans of escapist entertainment may not like their popcorn flicks liberally sprinkled with pc proselytization .

this is a movie that has : concealed pits in the sand with sharpened stakes at the bottom ; exotic sprawling villas made with corridors and staircases and balconies and rooftops where countless swordsmen can leap forward to their doom ; sandstorms that can be outrun by a horse like hidalgo ; tents as large and elaborately furnished as a malcolm forbes birthday party ; blazing closeups of the pitiless sun ; poisoned oases ; tantalizing mirages ; parched lips ; six - shooters , whips , daggers , and . . . no , i don ' t think there were any asps . some will complain that hidalgo magically arrives on the scene whenever hopkins whistles , but hidalgo knows that if he could whistle , hopkins would be right there for him , too .

yes ! i’m actually working on a short film which is going to be my final internship project , my final assignment for a film class , and the reel i will be submitting with my film school application . i’ve finished the script , the storyboard , and recently casted the actors . it’s an adaptation of a poem i wrote for an open mic event , but the concept has been with me for about a year now . sergei parajanov’s the color of pomegranates is the main inspiration for my film . it’s going to have elements of magical realism including an allegorical character . being in this environment where i am constantly asked about my plans and what my projects are has been a great motivation . it helps me to envision my films and my future and it also disciplines me to actually get on my computer and start writing .

to appease continuing criticism of his much - derided film by both critics and cinemagoers , oliver stone released a third dvd - only version of his epic , a 3 - hour and 40 minute feature with deleted scenes reinstated . in early 2005 , stone blamed " raging fundamentalism in morality " in america for the film ' s ultimate failure , claiming that the catchphrase " alex is gay " turned off potential audiences .

this is a very good assortment of genres all blended together to make a very good ( not great ) movie . first off , viggo mortenson is a phenomenal actor , and gives his all in every performance , even this one . his bond with his horse is very authentic and makes up the backbone of this entire film . but , we are also treated to an exciting adventure journey film that is perilous and completely unfactual . seriously though , this is one of the loosest " based on a true story " - s ever made . there was a horse named hidalgo , but he never did a race like this or anything , so . . . yeah .

set in 1890 , this is the story of a pony express courier who travels to arabia to compete with his horse , hidalgo , in a dangerous race for a massive contest prize , in an adventure that sends the pair around the world . . .

i think boyz n the hood would be an excellent film to teach , using two different theories related to teaching literature in the high school classroom ; namely , reader - response theory , and critical literary theory .

hidalgo is a great story that , although hindered by a slow pace at times , focuses enough attention on its story to make it a worthwhile venture . the film is excessively violent at times which is also a drawback , and something parents will want to consider when seeing it . it ' s definitely not a movie recommended for a younger audience . viggo mortensen ' s performance and sheer presence makes this movie which could very well continue his ascent as a rising star .

the horses line up across the sand , milling and shifting for position as the starter lifts his gun skyward . hopkins and hidalgo stand quietly , awaiting the ultimate endurance challenge . bang ! the writhing line of horseflesh springs forward . hopkins allows hidalgo to start slowly , settle into his stride . the rider is in no hurry . he knows the task ahead and just how much horse he has under him . he is confident of winning the 3 , 000 - mile “ocean of fire” race across the arabian peninsula . ”

maybe it ' s a generational thing ( following on from # 10 devon shaddick ) - for me it ' s fairer to say that robert de niro is the old viggo mortensen ! another great film that was off the list was " hidalgo " , a relatively unknown story about the self - aggrandised adventures of the inveterate liar and long - distance rider frank hopkins . it may not be the best film ever - in fact far from it - but mortensen ' s performance in the starring role is spellbinding and , for me , makes the movie . if that ' s your criterion for making the new robert de niro then yeah , he ' s the new robert de niro .

this film was a radical success in the racially volatile year of 1967 and was nominated for 10 academy awards , including best picture . hepburn won for her role as christina drayton and william rose won for best screenwriter .

a swarm of locusts so massive it obliterates the relentless sun . deadly traps that defy imagination . these are just a few of the astonishing obstacles frank t . hopkins ( viggo mortensen ) , the greatest long - distance racer ever , faces in the rousing action - adventure hidalgo . based on a true story , hopkins and his mustang hidalgo enter the ultimate extreme sport of its time - - the ocean of fire . underdogs challenging the finest arabian horses and riders , they must not only survive the grueling race across 3 , 000 miles of the arabian desert ' s punishing terrain , but they must thwart the evil plots of competitors who vow victory at all costs ! a great story of personal triumph , amazing special effects , and memorable characters make hidalgo one of the most thrilling adventures ever .

this is a plaster cast of donatello ' s original gilt bronze ' the miracle of the miser ' s heart ' in the basilica di sant ' antonio in padua , which he executed in 1446 - 48 ; the cast made by signor tombola in about 1884 . the scene relates to the text of luke xii . 34 " where is your treasure , there is your heart " . the dead miser ' s heart is found in a coffer with his gold .

in this scene on the end wall of the room , the heart of a deceased miser is found in his money chest , as the saint predicted . the miracle chastises the vice .

the drawing depicts saint anthony of padua performing a miracle , likely that of the miser’s heart . preaching on the sin of greed , saint anthony , here seen at the near left , tells his listeners that a man’s heart ends up with his treasures . to prove his point , he opens the body of a recently deceased miser to reveal that it is empty : as anthony predicted , the man’s heart is discovered in his money chest alongside his gold . in june 1501 , the venetian brothers antonio and tullio lombardo were commissioned to carve two marble reliefs for the chapel of sant’antonio in padua , based on the approval of a drawing to be submitted by the artists . antonio never completed his relief , on the subject of the miser’s heart , though it was much later executed , with several variations , by tullio . this recently acquired drawing appears to be the only record of antonio’s original idea for the composition and is one of two extant drawings that can be attributed to him .

on 23 june , 1447 , donatello formerly contracted for the four reliefs depicting miracles performed by st anthony of padua . three of these reliefs were already cast by then , but the miracle of the miser ' s heart had not yet been modelled . on 4 august 1447 , it was given to the foundry to be cast . payments for cornices in 1455 show that the four miracle reliefs were originally placed lower than the seven freestanding figures , on a level with the symbols of the evangelists and the angel reliefs . the scene relates to the text of luke xii . 34 " where is your treasure , there is your heart " . the dead miser ' s heart is found in a coffer with his gold .

plaster cast , painted plaster , after the bronze , partly gilded original relief of ' the miracle of the miser ' s heart ' , from the high altar of the basilica of st anthony of padua , padua , by donatello in padua , 1446 - 8 . cast by signor tombola in venice , in about 1884 .

for the first year , all of victor’s productions featured florence lawrence . playing opposite her was owen moore , formerly one of the biograph company’s favorite leading men and the husband of mary pickford . victor’s productions were gradually absorbed into universal’s general program . representative films : not like other girls ( 1912 ) ; sorrows of israel ( 1913 ) ; flo’s discipline ( 1913 ) ; the girl o’ the woods ( 1913 ) .

a fun griffith short , with an adorable first half about the friendship between a famished little girl and a sad old miser , and an extremely silly second in which he ' s targeted by robbers , attracting the attention of sleepy minor - league thief , lionel barrymore . it ' s a shame that its abundant charm and easy naturalism rather evaporates midway through , but it ' s still one of the director ' s best early works , with some truly lovely little moments .

a simple short where an old miser being robbed must choose between giving away his fortune and the life of a little girl the men hang out the window . griffith ' s knack for creating tension entirely through editing is evident here and the comedic bits with the little girl early on were actually quite funny .
