The River 1984 film From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia The River Theatrical release poster Directed by Mark Rydell Produced by Robert Cortes Edward Lewis Written by Robert Dillon Julian Barry Starring Sissy Spacek Mel Gibson Scott Glenn Music by John Williams Cinematography Vilmos Zsigmond Edited by Sidney Levin Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date December 19 1984 Running time 122 minutes Country United States Language English Budget 18 million Box office 115 million The River is a 1984 American drama film directed by Mark Rydell written by Robert Dillon and Julian Barry and stars Mel Gibson Sissy Spacek and Scott Glenn The film tells the story of a struggling farm family in the Tennessee valley trying to keep its farm from going under in the face of bank foreclosures and floods The father faces the dilemma of having to work as a strikebreaker in a steel mill to keep his family farm from foreclosure It was based on the true story of farmers who unknowingly took jobs as strikebreakers at a steel mill after their crops had been destroyed by rain The film was released theatrically on December 19 1984 by Universal Pictures It received mixed reviews with critics praising Spaceks performance and the cinematography but criticizing the screenplay execution and Gibsons performance whom many considered to have been miscast It was a box office failure grossing only 115 million against an 18 million budget Despite that it received five nominations at the 57th Academy Awards including Best Actress for Spacek Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Reception 5 Awards 6 7 External links Plot Cast Sissy Spacek as Mae Garvey Mel Gibson as Tom Garvey Shane Bailey as Lewis Garvey Becky Jo Lynch as Beth Garvey Scott Glenn as Joe Wade Don Hood as Senator Neiswinder Billy Green Bush as Harve Stanley James Tolkan as Howard Simpson Production Director Mark Rydell viewed the characters in this drama as iconically American and he was eager to cast Sissy Spacek as the farm wife because of her performance in Coal Miners Daughter and her home on a farm in near Charlottesville Virginia Rydell said She is the consummate American rural young woman with strength and fiber and a luminous quality Mel Gibson begged Rydell to let him play the Tennessee farmer who reminded him of his father but the director was reluctant because of Gibsons Australian accent Before Gibson left for England to film The Bounty he begged Rydell not to cast the part yet Rydell recalled He came back to my house in Los Angeles and started reading the script talking reading the newspaper in this perfect Tennessee accent I was really impressed even when he stood next to Sissy whos like a tuning fork when it comes to accents he had damn well done it The River was filmed in the Holston Valley area of Kingsport Tennessee The filmmakers purchased 440 acres 18 km 2 along the Holston River for the farm set and planted corn Most of the filming was done along Goshen Valley Road and around the Goshen Valley Park area Goshen Valley Road heads south from highway 11W in Church Hill Tennessee The cast and their families moved to the area a month before the start of production to connect with the local people and learn farming skills The floods in the film were supplied by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Army Corps of Engineers with water from the dam The bank scene was filmed in the town of Gate City Virginia The film was completed for under 18 million The musical score was by John Williams and also featured songs by country artists including George Strait Reception The River was the last of three 1984 films including Country and Places in the Heart that shared the themes of a familys devotion to their farm the destructive force of nature an unsympathetic bureaucracy and a determined woman who binds her family together The film received mixed reviews Mel Gibson later regretted that his portrayal of Tom Garvey was so stubborn that the audience lost sympathy and said that he had been miscast for the role because he was too young and pretty at the time Awards The film was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role Sissy Spacek Best Cinematography Best Music Original Score and Best Sound Nick Alphin Robert Thirlwell Richard Portman and David M Ronne It also received a special Oscar for sound effects editing Kay Rose References Ester B Fein December 16 1984 How The

left

off

and

was

aired

in

where

it

was

retitled

However

since

yet

the

Japanese

audience

was

left

to

wonder

about

the

fate

of

Optimus

This

is

the

premise

of

the

in

goes

on

a

through

various

Decepticon

strongholds

to

find

out

exactly

what

who

must

shoot

his

way

through

horizontally

and

vertically

scrolling

levels

consisting

of

various

Decepticon

enemies

with

a

boss

fight

at

the

end

of

each

level

He

can

transform

into

a

makes

it

easier

for

him

to

avoid

enemy

attacks

drive

through

narrow

entrances

and

shoot

enemies

that

are

flying

above

him

Along

the

way

he

can

also

pick

up

various

powerups

which

can

give

him

wider

ranging

firepower

or

even

the

ability

to

fly

There

are

two

Warp

Zones

within

the

game

they

can

be

found

by

rescuing

Bumblebee

from

the

Decepticons

The

bosses

for

each

lived for a time in China where his sister Janet was born in 1910 He attended the English China Inland Mission Chefoo School at Yantai but returned with his mother and siblings to California in 1912

Alfred Hitchcock whom he admired asked him to write the screenplay to his thriller Shadow of a Doubt He completed the first draft of the screenplay for Hitchcock The Bridge of San Luis Rey 1927 tells the story of several unrelated people who happen to be on a bridge in Peru when it collapses killing them Philosophically the book explores the question of why unfortunate events occur to people who seem innocent or undeserving It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 and in 1998 it was selected by the editorial board of the American Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of the twentieth century The book was quoted by British Prime Minister Tony Blair during the memorial service for victims of the September 11 attacks in 2001 Since then its popularity has grown enormously The book is the progenitor of the modern disaster epic in literature and filmmaking where a single disaster intertwines the victims whose lives are then explored by means of flashbacks to events before the disaster Frank Craven Martha Scott and John Craven in the original Broadway production of Our Town 1938 winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama Wilder wrote Our Town a popular play and later film set in fictional Grovers Corners New Hampshire It was inspired by his friend Gertrude Stein s novel The Making of Americans and many elements of Steins modernist style can be found in the play Wilder suffered from writers block while writing the final act Our Town employs a choric narrator called the Stage Manager and a minimalist set to underscore the human experience Wilder played the Stage Manager on Broadway for two weeks and later in summer stock productions Following the daily lives of the Gibbs and Webb families as well as the other inhabitants of Grovers Corners the play illustrates the importance of the universality of the simple yet meaningful lives of all people in the world in order to demonstrate the value of appreciating life The play won the 1938 Pulitzer Prize Wilder as Mr Antrobus in The Skin of Our Teeth 1948 In 1938 Max Reinhardt directed a Broadway production of The Merchant of Yonkers which Wilder had adapted from Austrian playwright Johann Nestroy s Einen Jux will er sich machen 1842 It was a failure closing after 39 performances His play The Skin of Our Teeth opened in New York on November 18 1942 featuring Fredric March and Tallulah Bankhead Again the themes are familiar the timeless human condition history as progressive cyclical or entropic literature philosophy and religion as the touchstones of civilization Three acts dramatize the travails of the Antrobus family allegorizing the alternate history of mankind It was claimed by Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson authors of A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake that much of the play was the result of unacknowledged borrowing from James Joyce s last work In his novel The Ides of March 1948 dedicated to an antifascist Italian writer Lauro De Bosis Wilder reflected on parallels between Benito Mussolini and Julius Caesar He had met JeanPaul Sartre on a US lecture tour after the war and was under the influence of existentialism although rejecting its atheist implications In 1954 Tyrone Guthrie encouraged Wilder to rework The Merchant of Yonkers into The Matchmaker This time the play opened in 1955 and enjoyed a healthy Broadway run of 486 performances with Ruth Gordon in the title role winning a Tony Award for Guthrie its director It became the basis for the hit 1964 musical Hello Dolly with a book by Michael Stewart and score by Jerry Herman In 1962 and 1963 Wilder lived twenty months in the small town of Douglas Arizona apart from family and friends There he started his longest novel The Eighth Day which went on to win the National Book Award According to Harold Augenbraum in 2009 it attacked the big questions head on embedded in the story of smalltown America His last novel Theophilus North was published in 1973 and made into the film Mr North in 1988 The Library of America republished all of Wilders plays in 2007 together with some of his writings on the theater and the screenplay of Shadow of a Doubt In 2009 a second volume was released containing his first five novels six early stories and four essays on fiction Finally the third and final volume in the Library of America series on Wilder was released in 2011 containing his last two novels The Eighth Day and Theophilus North as well as four autobiographical sketches Personal life Although Wilder never discussed being homosexual publicly or in his writings Samuel Steward wrote in his autobiography that he had sexual relations with him Wilder was introduced to Steward by Gertrude Stein who at the time regularly corresponded with both of them The third act of Our Town was allegedly drafted after a long walk during a brief affair with Steward in Zürich Switzerland In Penelope Nivens biography Thornton Wilder A Life she provides considerable epistolary evidence that the third act of Our Town was not written in response to any walk conversation or affair with Samuel Steward but was begun before Wilder ever met Steward and was not finished until several months afterward Niven also raises doubts about Stewards uncorroborated and unsubstantiated claims of having been Wilders lover Wilder had a wide circle of friends including writers Ernest Hemingway and Willa Cather pianist and harpsichordist Gavin Williamson actor Montgomery Clift and industrialist Russel Wright Death From the earnings of The Bridge of San Luis Rey in 1930 Wilder built a house for his family in Hamden Connecticut His sister Isabel lived there for the rest of her life This became his home base although he traveled extensively and lived away for significant periods He died in that house on December 7 1975 of heart failure He was interred at Mount Carmel Cemetery Hamden Connecticut Bibliography Plays The Trumpet Shall Sound 1926 The Angel That Troubled the Waters and Other

Torrens Knight From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia Torrens Knight born 4 August 1969 is a Northern Ireland loyalist who belonged to the North Antrim and Londonderry Brigade of the Ulster Defence Association UDA In 1993 he took part in the Greysteel massacre in which eight civilians were shot dead and the Castlerock killings in which three civilians and a Provisional Irish Republican Army IRA member were killed After being convictedalong with three othersfor the killings he served seven years in the Maze Prison before his release in 2000 under the terms of the Belfast Agreement Early life Knight spent his formative years living at his grandmothers farmhouse in the rural area of Aghadowey after the split of his parents marriage In adulthood he developed an addiction to poker gambling machines which resulted in his exposure of stealing money from his grandmother to fund his habit As a result of this he was asked to leave the home and subsequently moved to the mostly Protestant town of Portstewart Living with a loyalist he started drinking alcohol and involving himself with criminality Paramilitary activity His initial starting point within loyalism was selling a magazine for a loyalist prisoners association He progressed to the ranks of the UDA and carried out acts like robberies and punishment beatings Knight was part of a fourman UDA group sent to conduct an attack in revenge for the Shankill Road bombing Their target was the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel where Knight Stephen Irwin Jeffrey Deeney and Brian McNeill shot eight dead six Catholics and two Protestants After the leading gunman Irwin shouted Trick or treat he and Deeney raked the bar with gunfire while Knight armed with a shotgun stood at the door 19 other people were injured McNeill was the driver of one of the cars used after the shootings The attack was claimed by the Ulster Freedom Fighters a covername used by the UDA Knight was given eight life sentences for his part in the killings and a further four more for the killing of an IRA member and three Catholic civilians in Castlerock County Londonderry He served seven years in the Maze Prison before paramilitary prisoners were granted a general release under the Good Friday Agreement in 2000 Allegations of being an informant According to David McKittrick there had been rumours that Knight had been a police informer Suspicions have been voiced by John Dallat a member of the nationalist Social Democratic and Labour Party SDLP Dallat who said he was in touch with police about Knight before the attacks in Greysteel and Castlerock claimed they might have been prevented since it was known Knight was an extremist In 2000 Knight attracted the attention of staff at a bank where he was withdrawing large amounts of money from an account into which 50000 a year was being paid The banks concern was that Knight was involved in money laundering but when police were contacted an assurance was given that everything was in order The money was said to be from a Scottish engineering firm but the account was quickly closed down Police ombudsman Nuala OLoan investigated Dallats claim that police had prior information about Greysteel stating that there was no evidence this was the case She also stated that Knights conviction and sentence led her to believe that he was not being protected by police but added that it was beyond her remit to investigate whether or not he was a paid informer Alleged membership of Apprentice Boys In 2008 Sinn Féin councillor Billy Leonard claimed that Knight was a member of the Kilrea branch of the Apprentice Boys It was claimed that Knight took part in a parade in Kilrea and laid a wreath at the cenotaph in the village The Kilrea branch of the Apprentice Boys denied this as did Knight himself A spokesman stated that Knight wasnt a member and that they will demand an apology and explanation from Sinn Féin Knight also stated that John Dallat and Billy Leonard are taking part in a hate campaign against him and challenged the nationalist politicians to get off his back 2009 conviction In October 2009 Knight was found guilty of assaulting two sisters in a bar in Coleraine As a result his early release licence was suspended and he was returned to jail He was later sentenced to four months jail for the assault The judge said The injuries sustained were consistent with a vicious attack on the two women and of particular concern in this case is that you kicked Ms Nicholl while she was on the ground prone and unable to defend herself People who do that can expect no mercy or sympathy from these courts You acted as a bully when you approached these sisters You lost control and lashed out After Knight was returned to prison in 2009 it was revealed that Trevor Collins a member of Jim Allister s Traditional Unionist Voice political party from Garvagh was collecting signatures campaigning for his release from prison The TUV said it would not be taking action against Collins for instigating the petition Knight was released on 6 August 2010 References Wood Ian S Crimes of Loyalty A History of the UDA Edinburgh University Press 2006 p173 Greysteel Confessions of a serial killer
