Pathways to Freedom of Speech

In 1940 a small group of prisoners decided to escape from a Siberian labor camp. For these men from all walks of life, escape from this hell will be only the beginning of the adventure ...
Together they travel over 6000 miles across the Siberian tundra ice, crossing the plains of Mongolia, furnaces in the Gobi desert and the peaks of the Himalayas to cross the Great Wall of China. Some
stop along the way, others will not survive the tests. India - then under British control - is the ultimate goal.
But the road is long, risky encounters, the appalling physical conditions, and each has its secrets ...

Eight years is the time it took to wait to review a film by Peter Weir on screens. It must be said that after the commercial failure of Master and Commander, less than 100 million of revenue in the country of Uncle Scrooge with a budget of 150 million, the Australian director was blown. But obviously, the financiers of Hollywood have short memories because Peter Weir returns to our delight with this adaptation of the novel Slavomir Rawicz, supposedly from a true story ... To our delight? Not quite, unfortunately.

Indeed, if history could give hope for a great movie with adventure, emotion, tragic fates and outstanding, all filmed in beautiful landscapes, the Siberian taiga, the plains of Mongolia, the Gobi desert, the Himalayas, the result is more than disappointing. Peter Weir has shut in an academic who can leave room for emotion. The viewer sees these escapees walk tirelessly, a monotonous and bored with them. It does not happen much and the few episodes are not very interesting. When difficulties arise, our protagonists are still, as if by magic silver bullet that will bail them out. And when at the end, some end up dying anyway, it is in general indifference. Peter Weir never managed to break this bad rhythm in which the film was locked.

The cast, there is Ed Harris, far too rare these days, which replays for 13 years after Peter Weir The Truman Show. Always perfect, it is the only one to succeed at the game Strurgess Jim, I had discovered in Across the Universe, is too smooth. He does what he does little but never convincing. Colin Farrell in the role of a Russian gangster with 2 IQ is not highlighted. His role led him to rant and then it would be the hard, cold and ruthless, he does more laughing than anything else in this caricature of Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises. When the young Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, Lovely Bones) it is transparent.

short, on his return, Peter Weir fired a shot into the water and its paths to freedom are indeed very long. Damage.

How Does Meagan Good Do Her Hair

Based on the true story and ignored the father of the current Queen Elizabeth, who will become constrained and forced the King George VI (Colin Firth), following the abdication of his brother Edward VIII (Guy Pearce). In appearance weak, unable to speak in public, seen by some as unfit for office, George VI attempt to overcome his disability through the unwavering support of his wife (Helena Bonham Carter) and confront his fears with the help of a speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) to unconventional methods. He must overcome his stuttering to fully assume its role and make his empire the first bulwark against Nazi Germany.

The speech of a king is one of those films that are carried by the interpretation of their main player. Without Colin Firth, dazzling in the unlikely role of King, the film does not exist. It's not underestimate the other actors, moreover excellent, as to say that but a good biopic needs to be transcended by its lead actor.

Sure, a speech that King will not revolutionize the biopic. It is even fully anchored in the codes of the genre but he manages to succeed at the game because in addition to stunning performance by Colin Firth, the fate of this man is fascinating. One that should not be King, the stutterer who were considered stupid and unable to be found overnight in the skin of a monarch governing nearly half the globe and to embody the pride of a people and the resistance against Nazi Germany.

However, this is all a bit too good. The good King George VI presented under the best days, brave face disability, responsible to his office, uncompromising face of Nazism. But when looking around, it seems that everything is not as bright. Churchill (poorly played by Timothy Spall) and George VI himself was not always faultless vis-à-vis the Nazis. As always in this kind of film you tend to cut corners. After all it is the father of the current Queen of England we are talking about ...

Anyway, The Speech of a King is a good movie. It's funny and touching. The housewives under 50 will love. It is very well understood. Colin Firth is out for the Oscar for best actor, it does not make a doubt. By cons, if you go see this movie, then do not especially for vf. In general, the vo is always preferable but if you must see only one movie vo, it is that the. How to assess the performance of Colin Firth with a liner that is more monstrous?

The King breccia - Christophe Lambert

Author: Christopher Lambert
Publisher: Pocket
Pages: 309
Price: € 6.90

2060. Private Network A great revival of the concept reality TV by sending reporters to film in the past events of the twentieth century. The choice fell on the landing in Normandy to rekindle the flame of patriotic viewers. Foway, June 5, 1944: with forged papers, a reporter and a historian mingle with the masses of foot soldiers who boarded the ships of the invasion fleet. Soon the men of the future come to the French coast and attending the apocalyptic spectacle that takes place there. The horror the war is real. But at the heart of sound and fury, an error is soon here ...

The gap is not really an alternate history. Christopher Lambert does not care about consequences of historical differences but to the cause. It was the birth of a possible alternate history which is told in this novel.

We're in 2060, when the time travel is a reality. It is even a television show. A chain, KWN, offers viewers in its flagship show "You were there" to relive the major events of the 20th century: the assassination of JFK James Dean's death, the "suicide" of Marilyn Monroe. Scattered brains of a president, the coffin of steel with a star, the misfortunes of a sex symbol are thrown as food to millions of viewers, as an offering to God ratings. But the god is capricious and seems to sulk his worshipers in recent broadcasts. Hearings are in freefall. Fortunately, a young ambitious idea of genius. And if the next issue was to part the allied landing in Normandy and Omaha Beach more precisely. Imagine, two envoys of the future living in the largest direct slaughter of the 20th century. Tripe, blood, heroism, all this broadcast as a special event, 24 hours ..... It would be a hit ... Except that not everything goes as planned and that the two time travelers will change over time. Two future will compete. In one, they are the allies won the war and in the other it is the Germans. Two future, but only one will remain ...

The breach is a thrilling novel that takes readers to the gut and throat from the first pages, never to let go. Before devoting himself to writing, Christophe Lambert has worked in the audiovisual world. He obviously does not keep a very high opinion of the medium and engaging in this novel a satire full of acid and cynicism of reality TV. The line is bigger, but certainly exudes lived through certain situations, certain dialogues that score.

- Still, Kauffman Loraine grimace. The landing is very bloody ...
Benton is hot. It keeps them. He'll eat.
- With all the respect I owe you, miss, "replied he, I remind you that our best score of hearing is the brain of JFK that flutters at idle under eleven different axes.

Fielding is seeking an intern eyes. Smile, he is preparing to berate the first stooge who will in his field of vision.
Nothing better to relieve stress before the antenna!

Subsequently, after the jump in time made, Christophe Lambert puts us in the shoes of a soldier on D-Day. The reconstruction is very elaborate, full details on this have been like these men both physically and psychologically. The pace is breathless. It's written like a movie, without downtime. We believe it. And the final battle, Dante, is worthy of the best Hollywood blockbusters.

Unfortunately, the book down as the end. The author seems eager to conclude. And above it falls into the trap the temporal paradox. What I say ... He does not fall in there jumping in with both feet. And the option he chooses to fall back on its feet is flawed. It's the same barrel that Terminator where John Connor can not reasonably be older than his father. Another criticism, Christophe Lambert reserve for one of his characters overly nunuche an end and ease shameful. Fortunately, the book is concluded with an epilogue a tasty cynicism where the author goes there for a final picnic cons television.

Despite this, I can only recommend this book. The final disappointment, however relative, can not blur the qualities of this novel. Funny, cynical, fast-paced, rhythmic, pleasurable, generous. He readily forgives his faults and is savoring his qualities.
