it is not inevitable that the people in the stories would be in conflict with dragons. their choices have created an environment where dragons were a threat to them or they were a threat to dragons. if you think about our modern life you can see examples of humans co - existing with creatures bigger and more powerful than us. in the stories of people fighting dragons, they are really fighting themselves, or at least the choices they do not understand .

there be dragons, which opens in spain well before its domestic debut in may, has the additional problem of a title that fails to communicate the film’s aspirations to potential viewers. so the english - language samuel goldwyn release can expect only modest box office returns in north america specialty venues .
it’s like an angel’s - eye view of the death of a saint — and it seems to belong to a completely different movie than the one that follows. nothing in there be dragons earns the importance with which that opening shot invests josemaría’s death, or connects with it in any way .
these dialogue lines are based entirely on the race of the player with some variation based on guard faction and race. there appear to be no unique dialogue lines for bretons .
most importantly: old maps—early modern european maps—contain uncharted territory, across which beasts rumble and serpents writhe. they have dragons .
stormcloaks, imperials, dragons. ain' t no matter to me what i kill. let them come .
there be dragons is a movie starring charlie cox, wes bentley, and dougray scott. arising out of the horror of the spanish civil war, a candidate for canonization is investigated by a journalist who discovers his own estranged father had a deep, dark and devastating connection to the saint' s life .

what is your dragon? who is your dragon? what torments you is directly related to what you value and what you have chosen. a change in values can eliminate conflict with metaphorical dragons. if the humans in the stories were willing to let go of their gold, or change what they consider “treasure, ” there would be no need to slay the dragons. the people in those stories could live without gold, right ?

the difference is that where saul eventually quits the stage, leaving david to assume the spotlight, manolo staggers to the end of there be dragons with the weight of the narrative firmly on his shoulders. josemaría stays on the sidelines and eventually slips away, almost unaware of the drama not quite intersecting his story .
but if here be dragons is only on one map, why do we think of it as “typical? ” erin c. blake, now a curator of special collections at the folger shakespeare library, muses :
opus dei should be very pleased. joffe - - the killing fields and city of joy - - is one of the few directors who can make a gripping film while respecting the moral integrity and purpose of his characters. whether in the da vinci code or camino, the portrayal of opus dei usually has almost nothing to do with the reality. there be dragons looks set to put that right .
i worry about the other settlements in the hold. unwalled, lightly manned - prime targets for those damned dragons .
on may 5, 2011, the cinema society of new york hosted a special screening of “there be dragons” to celebrate the nationwide release on may 6. the screening was attended by several members of the cast and crew, including charlie cox and wes bentley, the producers of the film, and many special guests .
there is an r package for docopt, which is a nice way to define a command line interface .
the final answer, blake writes, may be just this: “we don’t know. ”
davos and missandei will have to play cupid. both jon and dany will be stubborn .
fancy the leather armor, huh? something to be said for going light .
more often than not, watching there be dragons feels like you' re reading from a pamphlet. one part of the pamphlet venerates josemaría escrivá, while the other part of the pamphlet gives a brief history lesson about the spanish civil war. if you want an education in either subject, the film is not where you should start .
there may be something that you are holding onto that is not essential. you will find that you have had your real treasure all along. you are valuable just as you are and the world needs you. rather than going outside yourself, looking for dragons to slay, use heroes’ courage to look within and find your hidden treasure .
that' s good armor you' ve got there, friend. iron, solid and true .
for a dragon to attack kynesgrove... why? why there? is no place safe ?
there be dragons will benefit from opus dei collaboration, but it has not been commissioned or financed by the organisation .
the film team asked us for help in gathering information and we gave them access to the documentation. that' s the beginning and end of our collaboration with this film ,
says opus dei' s former information officer .
“there be dragons” tells the story of two childhood friends, josemaria and manolo, whose lives take very different paths in the midst of the political and social unrest of the 1930’s in their native country of spain. the film is inspired by actual events, especially the real life of st. josemaria escriva, a priest and founder of opus dei .
the interlocking stories of a saint and a sinner during the bloody spanish civil war of the 1930s has plenty of dramatic potential but its characters and themes slip slowly away from writer - director roland joffé ’s grasp in there be dragons. this is all too often the case in joffé’s films. they are never as deep - dish as they initially seem .
jesus, what a ride. good choice for bronn to be in that role. he' s unimportant enough to be expendable, but likeable enough to really care if he lives or dies .
so there' s lots happening - the episode starts slowly, but boy is the end awesome. and yes, bloody good action! all in all, it' s a pretty awesome episode, up there with the best .
you hear the news? there' s a dragon roosting up on mount anthor, to the northwest .
there' s a dragon. here. in dragonsreach. and i thought it was just a name .
you' re that mage from the college, right? hear things have finally calmed down over there .
kodlak white - mane is in a better place now. for is there any place better than sovngarde ?
if the home - video release of there be dragons had gone the way of, say, the help in offering extras providing useful context on the real - life events underlying the film — say, featurettes on st. josemaría, opus dei or the spanish civil war — it might have been worth checking out more for those than for the actual film .
intriguing title aside, the mythical fire - breathers in “ there be dragons ” are strictly metaphorical. in both ambition and approach, “dragons” echoes roland joffe ’s career - defining early work as he brings sweeping production values to overtly christian subject matter, tracking the life of opus dei founder and modern - day catholic saint josemaria escriva against the backdrop of the spanish civil war. what’s changed in the quarter - century since “the mission” is the fact that such a classically styled david lean - like vision now finds itself relegated to arthouse screens, while comicbook heroes and cg dragons crowd the venues where this epic - scale opus might have found a mainstream following .
there be dragons is one of those few faith - based films that knows what
cinematic
looks and sounds like. it is photographed by gabriel beristain with a clear eye for decadence. spain, whether it' s 1911, or the 1980' s, comes alive here. the action sequences and the level of historical detail would make stanley kubrick proud .
pfr: i appreciate your time, and it will be interesting to see how the movie does .
greater use of data. table. however, the syntax is quite different from base r and the tidyverse so there’s a small learning curve. additionally, there is the issue of vector vs. data. table return types mentioned above .
here be dragons. the words supposedly contain every difference between ancient maps and our own. where old maps were illustrated and incomplete, ours are accurate and photographed from the sky. old maps were pricey and precious; ours are nearly free and ubiquitous .
maybe it’s this: those famous words served as a warning to the map’s original users and a kind of flourish from the map’s artisan makers. to us, they seem to comment both on the travails of the terrain (“we don’t know what’s here! ”) and about the dangers of ignorance (“there might as well be dragons in this unknown spot! ”) .

i agree that this is perhaps one of the show' s best episodes, and i think this episode is going to be talked about a lot. personally, this beats hardhome for me. the tension, the sounds from the dothraki to the dragons, absolutely incredible .
there be dragons ,
written and directed by twice oscar - nominated roland joffe (
the killing fields
and
the mission
), is not a biopic of st. josemaria escriva. instead, joffe set aside the original script and wrote a fictional story based on themes of love and forgiveness that he gleaned from reading more about escriva and watching video tapes of him speaking with people .
there be dragons is particularly frustrating because the spanish civil war is so seldom dealt with in any depth by films. guillermo del toro ’s magical duo, pan’s labyrinth and the devil’s backbone, and ken loach ’s land and freedom come to mind. yet this is still fertile ground for a filmmaker anxious to explore issues of morality in war, forgiveness, matters of conscience and families riven by civil strife .

are dragons real? this is one of the questions i asked many times as a child, because i was so fascinated by the way they were described in fairy tales. as i got older, my fascination expanded into noticing how many different and seemingly unrelated cultures have stories about dragons. how did that happen? what does it mean ?
dragons: i’ve been of two minds about the dragons. when they’re a concept, westeros’s answer to an icbm, they add an interesting moral yardstick. having a weapon that’s too powerful to use, that’s kind of a litmus test for leadership. (so far, dany has a b minus, but we' re grading on a curve. )

it’s not unwatchable. at times one can see a serious epic trying to emerge from the muddled proceedings. one can even feel the hand of the director of the mission, a far better historical drama also contrasting a heroic priest and a flawed soldier. there are flashes of real religious feeling, particularly from cox, who projects genuineness and openness. merely to see st. josemaría and opus dei sympathetically portrayed is refreshing. alas, it’s precisely these glimpses of the film there be dragons might have been that make its failure, and the lost opportunity it represents, all the more disappointing .
if you decide to see
there be dragons
, approach it as a fictional story, without expectations of a biography of st. josemaria escriva de balaguer, who was canonized in 2002. two of the producers for the film are members of opus dei and an opus dei priest served as a consultant, so one assumes it passed muster. i don' t believe the film will cause controversy because there is just not enough information about opus dei and the focus is on escriva who comes off as intelligent, benevolent, and benign - - though he is shown flagellating himself at one point .
it can be hard to tell with armour and on horseback, but dickon looked fucking massive. he towered over everybody on screen

when i talked last week with charlie cox about his role as st. josemaria escrivá in the movie there be dragons (written and directed by roland joffe (the killing fields and the mission), to be released this friday, may 6), osama bin laden’s death and the public reaction to it had yet to occur, and while blessed john paul ii’s beatification was on the calendar, it was not a topic in our interview. it’s interesting then that we spoke of the central role of forgiveness in christianity. this should not be surprising however, since, as charlie cox said in referring to the film, forgiveness is “always going to be key when you’re talking about christianity at all, especially if you’re talking about a man who is canonized. ” nevertheless, recent events have made this interview and the movie itself all the more timely .

that old woman who runs the orphanage has been murdered. say, didn' t i see you coming out of there... ?
early in roland joffé’s there be dragons is an episode in which two young boys named josemaría escrivá and manolo torres sample cacao beans at a chocolate factory owned by josemaría’s father, while the kindly jewish manager honorio (derek jacobi) waits eagerly for their impressions. frowning in disappointment at manolo’s hapless guess (almond ?) and smiling approvingly at josemaría’s assessment (cinnamon !), honorio upbraids manolo, not for guessing wrong, but for “scoffing at what he can’t experience. ”

in a way, it’s the story of multiple generations of dysfunctional father - son relationships in the torres family. there’s manolo’s relationship with his own father, a ruthless industrialist whose lesson to his offspring is: “when push comes to shove, a man has only one obligation: to choose the winning side. ” there’s old manolo’s relationship with his grown son, a journalist named robert (dougray scott) who reluctantly contacts his old man because robert happens to be researching a book on his father’s boyhood friend escrivá. then there’s robert’s reluctance to become a father himself, coming as he does from a long line of bad fathers .

hmm... if you happen to recollect anything about the incident, you be sure to report to the captain of the guard .
inspired by actual events, “there be dragons, ” is set during the spanish civil war of the mid - to late 1930s, and tells a story of the spanish saint through the relationship of a father and son. dougray scott plays journalist robert torres who is assigned to write a book about josemaría escrivá (charlie cox), the founder of opus dei. robert soon discovers that his own father, menolo (played by wes bentley), not only grew up in the same town as josemaría, but has his own story to share .
proudspire manor, now there' s a fine home. up for sale, too. if you' re interested, talk to the steward, in the keep .

be glad you' re here in the city, and not out in riverwood. those poor sods don' t even have a wall .
off the coast a ways to the east, you' ll find the wreck of the brinehammer. never know what treasures may still be aboard .
around. someone could get hurt. and if i see you do it again, that someone will be you. have i made myself clear ?
following bronn through the battlefield as he looked for the scorpion was absolutely amazing. they showed us exactly why dragons are so powerful, and this was only one of them. there' s a lot of parallels in that scene with first hand accounts of people who survived the atomic bombs in japan. people on fire, literally turning to ash and jumping into water seeking respite from the other worldly heat .
so what twentieth - century story will joffe by trying to tell through the life of a young priest in the spanish civil war? what needs to be forgiven? it could well be the divisions of the war itself, from which neither opus dei nor spain have ever quite managed to shake themselves wholly free .
another common theme associates dragons with gold and treasure. they are either hoarding it, guarding it or both. it is usually for the sake of the treasure that they torment humans. it is also for the sake of treasure that humans often disturb their slumber. of course, there is the princess / damsel in distress theme that relates to the fear and hoarding, but also a host of other topics .
pfr: that’s wonderful. the movie certainly has some overarching spiritual principles that it’s putting out there. one is purpose and calling and how the two characters took such different life paths .
there' s an evil to the north, friend, and its name is ragnvald. a tomb like so many in skyrim, where the dead have found no peace .
there' s been talk amongst the guards. that you are... dragonborn. but such a thing... surely that' s not possible ...
looks like it' s really happening. a peace council, attended by both ulfric and tullius, up on high hrothgar. maybe there' s hope for skyrim yet .
it reminds us that we are all called to become saints, and though we may have different paths to take, and that by recognizing and overcoming the dragons in our everyday lives, we can find the true way to redemption .
last, there might be a common misconception about what it takes to learn to create great data visualizations. there’s lots of materials available online to get started with data visualization and to create “cool data graphics”. yet, in order to advance professionally and to create actual impact, it is absolutely necessary to collect lots and lots experiences from actual project work, and especially to face criticism, have one’s designs challenged, learn how to iterate, and develop a robust process to consistently deliver great results (yes, real artists ship) .
i will never tire of repeating that we have to be contemplative souls in the midst of the world, who try to convert their work into prayer. ”
well. i' ll let it slide this time. but you' d be smart to take that off. someone might get the wrong idea .
ah, aegisbane. sigil of clan shatter - shield. but didn' t that get stolen awhile back? hmph. must be rememberin' wrong .
hmm... if you happen to recollect anything about the incident, you be sure to report to the captain of the guard. (end conversation )
joffé, director of
the mission
and
the killing fields ,
explained to the thursday press conference that he had initially intended to decline “there be dragons. ” while writing his “thank you, but no” letter, joffé explained, he watched a dvd of st. josemaria sent by one of the producers. at one point in the dvd, a girl told st. josemaria about her intent to convert to catholicism and the problems it could cause with her jewish parents. to this, the priest emphasized the necessity for her to honor her parents as “absolutely close to god. ”
there was a fight down in the ratway, but reports are... sketchy. some say it was thalmor agents, others say thieves guild. some say it was both .
is it true what they say? there was a dragon held captive in whiterun, and you... you released it? by the gods, man / woman, why ?
now, we use here be dragons to name our novels full of knights and kings, our treatises on fantastic maps, and even our investigations into extraterrestrial life. the words remind us how different our modern - day map - making is: shot from cameras in the sky, and available on every smart phone, maps are ubiquitous and photographic, and, the creatures they catalog are too small to see .
lifesitenews welcomes thoughtful, respectful comments that add useful information or insights. demeaning, hostile or propagandistic comments, and streams not related to the storyline, will be removed .
city got attacked once by those damned bandits, come east across the lake, from faldar' s tooth. they won' t be trying that again .
it' s both, sort of. there is an ambitious historical account in here somewhere, but the story is ultimately diluted by the film' s greater need to send a message about faith .
there was not a single moment of this episode, except maybe (maybe) the bran scene with littlefinger, that i did not thoroughly enjoy, and that' s only because i despise littlefinger .

she started off brooding over the fact that she was a lady, nearly wishing to be born a boy. then she came under catlyn stark' s service, and witnessed what a strong lady could be like. saw what strength sansa had, the sheer ferocity of lady mormont of bear island. and now arya' s fighting prowess .
she almost said she was no lady - like many times before, but then realized that she was finally proud to be a lady. ladies were no less than lords .
just how bad a father manolo was even robert doesn’t fully understand. it’s in connection with the dark secrets of his own past that manolo warns his son, “there be dragons” — a reference to the legend marking terra incognita on medieval maps. yet while manolo may have been a monster, he was hardly a dragon. even his father was no more than an ogre. as for manolo, he is, at most, a troll — a creature of the banality of evil, dull, brutish, insipid. he’s the sort of paltry sinner that inspired the devil’s lament in c. s. lewis’ “screwtape proposes a toast. ”
caught by a guard right after the crime :
by order of the jarl, stop right there !
you have committed crimes against skyrim and her people. what say you in your defense ?
true. i always hope that jamie will flip, but your point is solid. he is cersei' s forever and no matter what. that must be some good nookie .
am i the only one who saw jaime in full heavy armor, sinking to the bottom of the lake? no one seems to be talking about it... . .
well there was the shot of the battlefield right after where dany was trying to locate where he was and she couldn' t because there' s so much fookin' smoke from drogon. in the midst of battle and all that fire and smoke i doubt anyone would' ve noticed and realized what bron was actually doing, would' ve just looked like a wagon that wasn' t on fire yet through the smoke and dust
seriously, that' s very rare in any movie or tv show, to want something good / root for both parties in a conflict. i hope there' s a good tyrion - bronn - jaime reunion .
maybe you' ve seen masts sticking out of the water to the northeast? that would be the wreck of the winter war. fine vessel, back in its day .
i have to wonder... what does the dragonborn do once he' s summoned by the greybeards? can the thu' um be taught, like any skill ?
there' s lots of special effects to account for it. and you' re in make up for part of the film. could you describe the process of playing a 78 - year - old version of yourself ?
jon - and i think you' ll find this corner fascinating... it appears to be a wolf mounting a dragon... i wonder what it could mean ...
rorikstead' s a nice little hamlet, but a boring post for a guard. if a dragon attacks, well... then it' ll be a different story .
the film examines the “dragons” in life – those things that cause suffering and lead us away from god, such as guilt, hatred, jealousy and betrayal. in this way, the movie explores the heart of christianity, the need to forgive, and to ask for forgiveness .
by the gods. the emperor' s been murdered. on his own ship... moored in the inlet. it was... the dark brotherhood. there was nothing we could do ...
though many will see the film as a welcome return for joffe, the director spent much of his career putting distance between himself and his first two features, as the oscar attention around “the killing fields” and “the mission” overshadowed most of his subsequent projects. overlong and unnecessarily burdened by a clunky present - day framing device, “dragons” may not be perfect, but it plays to the helmer’s strengths, demonstrating an increasingly rare sense of scope and pageantry best served by the bigscreen .
in the featurette, peter dinklage, who plays tyrion, is aware of the consequences but still recognizes some good in this union. “it’s dangerous for everybody involved, ” he says. “i’m sure it’s good for both of them in the moment — but you don’t even get the relief of how beautiful it should be. ” then again he adds, “there’s a history of romance not ending well on this show. ”
and to think 2 episodes ago, people were still convinced and arguing that arya was heading south and definitely wouldn' t be accepted for the badass non - lady warrior assassin chick she is .
christians have always had recourse to the intercession of saints: their example shows us that it is possible to grow in holiness, and their prayer before god can be especially helpful in times of need .
as played by english actor charlie cox (stardust), josemaría emerges as a likable, dedicated, virtuous young man much loved by his circle of friends, the first generation of opus dei. there are a few evocative scenes, such as the impression that a barefoot friar’s tracks in the snow make on the young josemaría. yet despite a line or two about opus dei spreading to other countries, there’s little sense of escrivá himself as a figure of any particular note .
smart man / woman. now come along with us. we' ll take any stolen goods, and you' ll be free to go. after you pay the fine, of course .
writer and director roland joffe’s thoughtful story seeks to remind us that “when you forgive, you set someone free: yourself. ” we may not all be saints, but we are all capable of becoming one .
charlie cox: well immediately, the first thing that became evident when i started researching this man — because initially i’d never heard of him, and i knew very little of opus dei and all that — was the immense amount of responsibility that i felt, in that, yes, the primary reason that we make films and tv shows is for entertainment purposes, but every now and again there comes along a project where there’s something more there and it’s not just about entertaining people. it’s not just about people losing themselves for a couple of hours in the movie theater. this story, and particularly this man, is of great importance to hundreds of thousands of people. if you look at those photographs from his canonization, you know, looking at 400, 00 or 500, 000 people who were able to make it to rome, not to mention how many millions who couldn’t physically be there: that was an overwhelming feeling. i felt, this is not an opportunity for me to invent a character. i have to try and find some truth, and i have a responsibility to try and do this story and this man justice. that was the main difference that i noticed early in preparation .
if you think you will come away knowing anything specific about
opus dei ,
you will be disappointed. controversy has dogged the group for decades, coming to a head when they were inaccurately portrayed in the novel and film
the da vinci code .
if
opus dei
is a secular institute (it is; approved by the church in 1950) to teach people how to become holy in daily life, i have to ask what is so exceptional about this? as christians, we are all called to this goal. therefore, i have to assume that either there is no more to know, or if there is something unique about opus dei, the information was not made available to joffe .
things aren' t looking too hot for jaime, in full armor at the bottom of a lake. or bronn, who isn' t important enough to be fished out of the lake and not immediately killed.
