the most interesting aspects of the film are not the predictably headline - provoking elements, neither the sex nor the violence. what is perhaps most interesting in some ways is the absence of knowingness, and of recognizable place (though the film is “set” in seattle, washington and in their cabin, eden, they take a train to get there, as europeans would do, and the bulk of the film was shot in germany). this is not an urban film, a sex film, a commentary on american foreign policy, or an arch nod to other genres, but it certainly attempts a certain kind of arthouse horror—part of the dismissive huffing and puffing about
development began in 2008, with raimi attached to direct and the core cast of the previous films to return. come 2009, however, raimi dismissed the rumors that all three films were being made, instead confirming that only the fourth was under development. sony hired james vanderbilt in october of 2008 to pen the screenplay, after contacting david koepp, the writer of the first film. the script underwent further revision by playwright david lindsay - abaire and once more by gary ross in october of 2009. sony had also hired vanderbilt to pen scripts for spider - man 5 and spider - man 6 .
during research, the filmmakers learned that, in nature, prey mammals outnumber predators, despite the latter group generally being considered the dominant species. in response, the story was tailored to center the relationship between the
predator and prey
group while reflecting modern day society by having the story serve as an allegory for racism and prejudice. in this version, predators, despite having evolved, were generally viewed as dangerous threats and were forced to wear electric shock collars as a means to keep their
aggressive natures
under control at the hands of prey. the
tame collar
concept stuck through most of the film' s production, even being approved by john lasseter, but when screened for the team at pixar, the response was negative. the city of zootopia, in this state, was deemed too unlikable, and the story too dark, whereas the goal was to create a city that the audience could fall in love with while making a film that—despite its serious subject matter—can still be a fun family film.

prey tells the story of nathan (beau travail' s gregoire colin) who is at a countryside retreat for a fall family reunion that he expects to be particularly stormy. claire, his wife, has to announce her pregnancy and there are tough decisions that need to be made to prevent the family' s pesticides business from closing down. but on the first night that the family gathers, a terrorized deer mysteriously attacks claire' s father. the men decide to venture into the surrounding forest to find the reasons for the animal' s odd behavior. carrying a shotgun for the first time in his life and witnessing the growing tensions between the men in the family, nathan soon discovers that hunting season is not over yet. now they' ve become the prey. marking the debut film for antoine blossier, prey brings together a special effects team from some of hollywood' s best films .

it doesn’t matter whether or not you’re familiar with this nasty norwegian tale, if you’re a fan of the slasher subgenre, you’re more than likely going to find the picture to be extremely rewarding. it’s violent but not offensively so, easy on the eyes (save for the more graphic moments, like the shot in which tobias has his flesh super glued together), creepy, highly impacting and, of course, a fantastic introduction to the promising berdal, who for the record has already surfaced in a series of genre pieces (hansel & gretel: witch hunters, chernobyl diaries and cold prey 2 amongst the handful) since shooting cold prey. when all is said and done, cold prey does precisely what a horror movie is supposed to do, it entertains, quite a bit .

the film’s official stealth ad campaign has so far consisted of putting out a picture of the new pennywise last year and posting fictional missing person posters for children killed by it in the film around derry, but the spate of sightings of people dressed as clowns around the world may be to do with what king himself calls “low - level hysteria”. new line cinema have denied any connection and some have argued that the sightings may have been part of viral campaign for rob zombie’s similarly clown - based horror film 31 instead .
is wholly strange, perhaps in fact the oddest thing in an unusual film. just before the epilogue begins, he limps out of eden, no eve by his side, no flaming sword to light the way. for a film so skeptical about modern ways of thinking, the image is appropriately medieval, redolent of old master eschatology (bruegel ,
who was shocked by this film? where is the evidence? i think the “shocking” description is a critic’s rhetorical trick (it makes the film seem worthy of attention and sober analysis) when in reality (unlike the ’70s films mentioned above) the film came and went (did it even come ?) with no disturbances. these critics need the film to be shocking, the want it to be shocking…. but it wasn’t and did not shock. in this regard, they need to rethink their analysis and position it more honestly as an old - fashioned explication and elevation of an artwork they happened to admire, and not as a critical intervention that fully explains the ‘shock’ of something new .

on the subject of villains, raimi considered showcasing the transformation of dr. curt connors into the lizard, with dylan baker reprising his role. he also had plans to upgrade bruce campbell to a more significant role than his prior cameos. in december 2009, it was reported that john malkovich was in talks to play the vulture, with anne hathaway playing felicia hardy. hardy would be taking a departure from her prior portrayals in this film, becoming

narrator: that meant neanderthal hunters had to get close to their prey to kill them, which made hunting a risky business. most neanderthal male skeletons have multiple fractures. neanderthal lives were tough, and they were short. their skeletons tell us that very few lived beyond the age of 30 .
the primary issues centering the film, as mentioned, are prejudice and preconceived notions based on stereotypes. to further emphasize this, the creatures that inhabit zootopia were limited down to mammals, to portray a sense of segregation between animals of predator and prey mentality; animals such as birds and marine life were left out as most, if not all, are consumers of other living organisms, making it difficult to narrow them down within the status quo of the story' s conflict. the thought process of stereotypes was also integrated when deciding which familiar species would serve as the film' s opposing leads, eventually determined as a rabbit - and - fox partnership. [ 34 ]
“misogynist” is an opt - out from serious engagement, a critical short cut which reduces the film to the schematics of unconscious desire that von trier so artfully dismantles in order to reach out to more visceral, counterscientific causalities. maybe a better way of approaching the film’s gender politics is to observe that she is much the more interesting of the film’s characters. what a misfortune it would be to arrive in his consulting room! whereas one could expect from her at least some crazy folkloric ruminations; she could be counted on not to be tiresome. it could be inferred from
thank you. this was incredibly enjoyable to read. it’s so refreshing that you made the nuances in the film unfold so well with so much context and relevant reference. the pop film criticism available has mistaken synopsis and a one - liner opinion (“i didn’t like it. ”) for insight. it feels like reading essays by an average american high school student (unsurprisingly) .
cold prey 2 is a movie starring ingrid bolsø berdal, marthe snorresdotter rovik, and kim arne hagen. jannicke wakes up in the hospital. all of her friends are dead. as she walks through the dark corridors, she thinks she is left alone. but the nightmare isn' t over yet .
i’ve long campaigned for this nugget of foreign gold. you’re not likely to find all that many who follow the cold prey franchise closely, but those that do follow, follow with unwavering dedication. when it comes to modern slasher films, few rival this norwegian effort. scream is right there in the mix, as is ti west’s the house of the devil. outside of those two pictures, nothing recent quite holds up. and that’s a massive statement given the caliber of filmmakers in the business these days. it should be a clear indicator that cold prey rests with the big dogs at the top of the heap .

people complaining about the “inaccuracy” of the rocky entry perhaps need to think about it a little more. consider: 1. who is the hero of the film? 2. thematically, who is presented as the true champion (i. e who overcame the greatest obstacles, as presented in the film, to get where he is), with whom audience sympathies lie, at the end of the movie ?
it is overwhelming to see film quarterly’s astute analysts indicate how an antichrist critique is consistent with discussions of the grotesque aesthetic perfected in classic expressionist film. von trier’s antichrist fulfills wolfgang kayser’s criteria for the ancient grotesque method of subverting and devastating any integral ideological and ethical value system, even judeo - christianity, by invasive absolute alienation of the typical existing norm for mass popular comprehension. thus, von trier’s film art powerfully injects pre - christian cosmic concepts, which prevailed during babylonian patriarchal dehumanizing slave society that demonized women for subjugation, to transform, substitute and estrange familiar characteristic and civilized images in a reversion to a mentality of barbarism .

the film itself was so intense and complex that many have gone to search for meaning and some, created their own. having to think who should be the antichrist is one of the things that would seem to consider (given that it’s the title but has no relevance in the film) but unlikely for me, it’s just a mere implication that being christ - like somehow contradicts the true intention of humans. i think the film was generally about compromising guilt and ignorance that resulted to somewhat a tragedy and a liberation at the same time. i am not really sure though as, like what i said, i am skeptical myself .

once they locate their prey—in this case a kudu—the marathon begins. their strategy is simple: run it to exhaustion. every time the animal tries to rest, the hunters track it down and get it moving again. they never give it a chance to cool down. and the reason they can keep going is that they can sweat .
you are a great discovery for me! the film is since the 1st time seeing in 2009 one of few everfavourites + fighting for n. 1 position (classicly for apocalypse now). i introduce a few things: 1. immediately i saw it as a classic artwork about the apollic against dionysus everlasting struggle. (see the usefull camille paglia book for further insights). it’s a perfect visualisation of the bacchantes mythos so it goes much futher than justthe superficious man - woman thing. of course there are much layers in the film, that’s why it’s so good, a good artpiece must have multyple layers although it doesn’t need to be “perfect”‘. perfection often spoils the art (like in real life). it’s the imperfection that makes the art and life intriguing. 2. also i felt that i was in a tarkovsky - movie (which i love), and was pleased to read at the end that indeed it was a homage to this russian masterfilmer. 3. the bell on the fox - comment made me smile cause this was new for me and makes me think further. 4. a great thing of the film is that it starts with a mini - film, the introduction, and that says it all

the only mammals that were purposefully cut from the film were the primates, as the filmmakers felt that the animals looked too human - like when they walked on two legs, especially great apes. bats were also cut from the film because they would' ve been the only flying animals in the world of zootopia and because they were too small to wear clothing and look publicly suitable. however, a figurine of a bat eyewitness was released alongside with a figure of clawhauser, ironically enough .

biggest break undoubtedly snowy [ the man from snowy river, which miller directed ]. it was an opportunity that came out of the tax incentives, and was always conceived by myself and geoff [ burrowes, the producer ] as an international film .
let us start by saying that the violent biodiversity of this film averts any accommodating univocal reading whilst simultaneously liberating numerous fields of inquiry, which are not necessarily pleasant to explore. those who detect misogyny are self - evidently limiting their perfunctory looks on the epidermal appearance of von trier’s film, or, even more impairing, refusing to explore the complex gaze of the danish director on the feminine universe. as always in von trier we have the unreconciled dichotomy executioner versus victim hence, author versus spectator .
according to howard, zootopia will be different from other animal anthropomorphic films, where animals either live in the natural world or in the human world. the concept, where animals live in a modern world designed by animals, was well received by john lasseter, who lifted howard
in the air like a baby simba ,
when he proposed the idea for the film. when first pitched, the film centered a rabbit named jack savage, who left the city of zootopia to explore the south seas. the film was under the titles savage city and savage seas. the filmmakers were unimpressed with the story, but were nevertheless interested in the concept of an all - animal city, allowing a project centering the idea to go underway.

as for zootopia, a film about a bunny who moves to a big city and unravels a conspiracy with the aid of a con artist fox, the lawsuit claims that its source is unmistakable given goldman' s detailed work offering descriptions about characters and other elements .
the film has just been released in australia, and with hachem involved it fittingly gets its star - studded us premier right here in las vegas on tuesday night at the brenden cinemas at the palms hotel, which will be pokerstars players' base during the wsop .

thanks for the excellent discussion that competently hits the important and interesting parts of the film, and once and for all slices through the arrogant, uneducated idea that von trier makes misogynist art. i think von trier’s lament that he was too mentally under the weather to do the film up to his own standards is true. i think if he were in better shape he’d have made a couple things a little more clear for the sake of enjoyment. but as it is, the film deals with witch - hunting on a level of honesty and maturity perhaps never done before in movies. the discussion of witchcraft is particularly helpful in this article. people who throw misogyny at von trier first of all are not male artists like myself, who know that it’s damned hard to depict women in art realistically. the fact that von trier keeps trying and gets it right half the time is not misogyny; it’s commendable effort. not trying, and presenting women as a male artist and sticking to old formulas that everyone accepts but that are total crap, is misogyny. the film can be looked at as a film for men, who are encouraged to learn this lesson: if you go into women’s world, you implicitly give up all the pragmatism you cherish, because your skills are from the other half. his experiences in the film are beautiful renderings of absorption into women’s world, which we men cannot understand, and the couple’s ridiculousness as explained by the authors of this article demonstrates men’s world failing as soon as it hits women’s, all our psychological edifice be damned. so, are psychology, reality and morality still misogynistic… ?
just finished watching the movie and resorted ahead to some sites where i could find explanations and seen this. i have never encountered a movie that had so many interpretations like this one. i must say, i’m still not convinced and i’m still baffled with the whole construction of the film. i can’t see the purpose of implicating so many symbolisms that most of the audience would leave them resorting to their own understanding. like most of you have said, antichrist is a movie about religion (of any sort) and as a catholic, i beg to differ. as biased as it would seem, i don’t like incorporating this movie with the bible and its contents. tier must have just tried to animate everything what’s on his head and produced antichrist as the outcome. i didn’t see any rulings in the film that might have established some sort of a religious backbone that probably led the characters’ developing behaviours. there were elements in the film though that would support the most likable theory of this very mind - boggling film but as i said, they were just elements in the story (like the xray photo that was just left right there) and nothing more. i think the film was just trying to show the imbalances between couples, and how negligence and disregarded detainments could lead to greater destruction and insanity. it’s obvious that the two just lost it .

the program examines an intriguing theory that long - distance running–our ability to jog–was crucial for the survival of these early hominids. not only did running help them escape from vicious predators roaming the grasslands, but it also gave them a unique hunting strategy: chasing down prey animals such as deer and antelope to the point of exhaustion .
