<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/kxdHJe4PJvc'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/kxdHJe4PJvc&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I've blogged a little before about <a title="mo" href="http://dcairns.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/the-divine-max/" target="_blank">Ophuls</a> and LOLA MONTES, but somehow never got around to quoting Peter Ustinov's frothy, smart memoir <em>Dear Me</em>. Time to make up for that:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The film of LOLA MONTES was destined to become a classic. There were precious few signs of this destiny during its making. Max Ophüls was a <em>rara avis </em>alright, a German giggler, who lived in his own particular stratosphere of subtlety, and who protected himself against the intrusion of philistine into his private world by a grotesque and wonderful perversity. When I had the sad honour of writing his obituary for the Guardian, I wrote that he had the gift of manufacturing the smallest wrist-watch ever known, and would subsequently insist on suspending it from a cathedral so that passers-by could tell the time.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The new 'letter-box' format of Cinemascope was imposed on him for commercial reasons by the producers, but he whispered to me with the glee of a court jester that he had found a way of cheating them, and reverting the beloved intimacy of the small screen.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">'How?' I asked, thinking he must have found some contractual loophole.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">He held his hands up, far apart, and brought them slowly closer to one another.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">'Two pieces of black velvet,' he whispered, and roared with uncontrollable laughter at the simplicity of his act of sabotage.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://dcairns.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/vlcsnap-82255.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2850" title="vlcsnap-82255" src="http://dcairns.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/vlcsnap-82255.png?w=450" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://dcairns.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/vlcsnap-82797.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2851" title="vlcsnap-82797" src="http://dcairns.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/vlcsnap-82797.png?w=450" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Max was the first poet of bad taste, in that he was the first to exploit Art Nouveau as a thing of beauty and style, not merely as a curiosity, the visible cancer of a decadent and dying society, as my generation was brought up to believe it to be. He saw in its asymmetrical outbursts elements of controlled imagination which were eminently cinematic, and to borrow an idea from Calder, he made them mobiles with his camera, which never tired of laying pictorial ambushes for the human face.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">In his endless search for subtlety, he would ask you to register hatred or brutality without changing the expression of your face, and then plunge you into shafts of darkness, or shoot you through a metal banister or a net curtain to obliterate every effect except your presence. He was a dictator in the image of a Prussian Junker, who found the most irresistible of all comic creations in the world, the Junkers of Prussia. His father had been a military tailor in Saarbrücken called Oppenheimer, who, like the Jewish tailor in Zuckmayer's <em>Der Hauptmann von Köpenick</em>, kept barking at his studious son to stand up, with his shoulders well back.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>'Halt dich gerade, halt dich gerade, sonst kommst du nie zum Militär!'</em> (Stand up, stand up, or you'll never make it in the army!)</span></p>
<p>(In Ophüls' LETTER FROM AN UNKNOWN WOMAN, Joan Fontaine's stepfather is a military tailor. -- DC)</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">The old man was shrewder politically than the majority of officers he fitted. He believed none of the military optimism of the time that the war would be a short one, and since some cavalry regiments wore black trousers, Max remembered him calling up to his assistants -- "Fix red stripes on all our tuxedo trousers, this war's going to go on a long time.'</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Unfortunately he could not be expected to know that the cavalry would last a much shorter time than the war.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://dcairns.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/vlcsnap-79907.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2852" title="vlcsnap-79907" src="http://dcairns.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/vlcsnap-79907.png?w=450" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>...Returning to the subject of LOLA MONTES, Ustinov recollects:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">A most Germanic idea occurred to him during the huge circus scene. They rhythm of Georges Auric's lilting score taken up by a series of dwarfs and Lilliputians, moving up and down on ropes like pistons or like wooden horses on a gigantic roundabout. </span>(The real Lola Montez never worked in a circus -- DC) <span style="color:#3366ff;">The dwarfs were fairly comfortable, unless any of them happened to suffer from vertigo, because their massive torsos were firmly implanted in the leather harnesses. The Lilliputians were less serene, however, since they were perfectly formed miniature people, and they had some difficulty remaining immobile in belts which had been patently designed for dwarfs. One Lilliputian began to slip dangerously, and the belt tried to become a collar, only his arms prevented him from either sliding right through, and dropping some thirty or forty feet, or else being strangled. The pathetic cries of his tiny voices could be barely heard over the caressing waltz. There was a general movement of consternation, nipped in the bud by Max's rasping imitation of a Prussian warlord.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#3366ff;"><em>'Lass die Zwerge hängen!'</em> (Let the dwarfs hang.) I looked at him, appalled. He felt my presence, glanced at me with a guilty grin, and dissolved into his uncontrollable fit of silent laughter, taking the time to shout 'Cut!' The point was, he had his shot.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> This Friday be <strong><a href="http://www.talklikeapirate.com/faq.html" target="_blank">Talk Like a Pirate Day</a></strong>, savvy?  Now to be honest, I don't much like pirates unless they're Disney-fied.  Give me a soft hearted, good looking, funny pirate -- <em><span style="color:#ff6600;">insert your favorite photo of Johnny Depp here - I'm too tired to look for one) </span></em>or a blustery old sweetheart of a pirate -- <span><span style="color:#339966;"><em>insert picture of Peter Ustinov as Blackbeard here, I'm too </em> </span></span>-   What?  You've never seen Peter Ustinov in <em>Blackbeard's Ghost?</em>  Do you even know who <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001811/bio" target="_blank">Peter Ustinov </a>is?  ........ Oh, alright, wait a second while I go scrounge around Google images for a photo ... talk amongst yourselves - practice talking like a pirate, matey....</p>
<p> Okay, I'm back.  Here:<img class="size-full wp-image-243 alignleft" title="blackbeardsghostlpfront1" src="http://amoonshadow.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/blackbeardsghostlpfront1.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="198" /> </p>
<p> Ustinov was much younger than I remember him but then I haven't seen this film since I was a wee pirate lassie and he probably looked old to me back then.  I do vaguely remember the movie was a lot of fun to watch.  I remember looking up Blackbeard <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbeard" target="_blank">(Edward Teach</a>) in the library after I saw the movie.  Yes, I was geeky from birth.  Back then there was no "internet"  ... why in my day, we had to walk through the snow for miles to get to a library and then go through stacks and stacks of books until .... uh, never mind. .... Now I'm exhausted and I've forgotten why I started all this ...</p>
<p>Oh yeah, talk like a pirate.  Here's a link to an interesting Slate article that talks about "pirate speak" in the movies (which of course is where we get all our information)  <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2167567">http://www.slate.com/id/2167567</a> </p>
<p>Git along with ye now, arrrr... I need to practice my pirate speak some more. .... arrr ...</p>

<description><![CDATA[The Great Consoler (UdSSR 1933)
Lew Kuleschows Vorliebe für amerikanische Sujets in seinen Spielfil]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><a title="The Great Consoler" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024728/" target="_blank">The Great Consoler</a></strong></span> (UdSSR 1933)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Lew Kuleschows</strong> Vorliebe für amerikanische Sujets in seinen Spielfilmen setzt sich in <strong>The Great Consoler</strong>, seinen zweiten Tonfilm, fort. Im Amerika des Jahres 1899 schreibt der Häftling Bill Porter in seinen Geschichten Happy Ends für seine Mitgefangenen. Anstatt sich wegen der miserablen Haftbedingungen gegen die Gefängnisleitung schriftstellerisch aufzulehnen, mimt der feige Porter nur den großen Tröster.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kuleschows Film kann zugleich als Plädoyer für die revolutionäre Funktion der Kunst und als Eingeständnis der eigenen Resignation gegenüber der stalinistischen Diktatur gesehen werden. Sind die an Stillleben erinnernden Bilder der ausgezerrten Gesichter der Häftlinge noch so effektiv, die Aufteilung der Handlung in drei Erzählstränge verhindert eine kohärente, d.h. in diesem Fall eine effektvolle Erzählung.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Zwar findet der Film im letzten Drittel, wenn es zum Aufstand der Häftlinge kommt, zu seinem eigentlichen Thema zurück. Der als Stummfilm gestaltete Mittelteil, der eine von Porters Geschichten darstellt, ist allerdings viel zu lang und nichtssagend geraten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Die Konzentration auf die Physiognomie der inhaftierten Hauptfiguren, die oftmals erstarrt ins Leere blicken, lässt <strong>The Great Consoler </strong>zäh erscheinen. Kuleschows Vertrauen auf die Ausdrucksstärke dieser Bilder und sein damit einhergehender Verzicht auf die eigentliche Schilderung der Haftbedingungen, machen das Experiment des neuen Schauspielertyps, des <em>naturshchiks</em>, schlussendlich dennoch zum Erfolg.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Jeder Teil des menschlichen Körpers müsse dabei als Modul behandelt werden, das in Kombination mit anderen zu einer komplexen Pose wird. Diese von der Gefangenschaft erdrückten Posen sind letztendlich aussagekräftiger als jede Aufnahme madiger Mahlzeiten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://orangedoe.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/ride-lonesome.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-206 alignleft" style="margin:5px 10px;" src="http://orangedoe.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/ride-lonesome.jpg?w=300" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="5" width="270" height="190" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><a title="Auf eigene Faust" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053220/" target="_blank">Auf eigene Faust</a></strong></span> (USA 1959)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Diesen CinemaScope-Film im Kino zu sehen, ist ein 3-D-Erlebnis der Extraklasse. Alle Vegetationsformen geht <strong>Budd Boetticher</strong> in <strong>Auf eigene Faust</strong> (Ride Lonesome) durch. Es gibt Schießereien zu Pferde zwischen Dünen, Ritte (zu Pferde) durch Wälder und endlose Dialogszenen (zu Pferde und ohne Schnitt) vor dem Hintergrund einer felsigen Steinwüste, deren plastische Wiedergabe noch immer beeindruckt. Dass der Film übliche Westernkonventionen umgeht, ist dabei fast nebensächlich.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eine zufällig zusammengewürfelte Gruppe (u.a. <strong>Randolph Scott</strong>, <strong>James Coburn</strong> und <strong>Pernell Roberts</strong>) eskortiert einen Mörder zum Galgen. Jeder hat natürlich seine eigenen Motive dafür, welche nicht unbedingt dem Wohle der Begleiter dienen. Die entstehende Gruppendynamik dominiert auf Grund dessen die Narration. Der eigentliche Bösewicht (<strong>Lee Van Cleef</strong>) bleibt nur eine Randnotiz.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mit seinen 70 Minuten Spielzeit leidet der Film nicht weiter unter den langen Dialogen. Die Psychospielchen der Reisegesellschaft sorgen meist für ungetrübte Unterhaltung, auch wenn die einzige Frauenfigur im Film fast lächerlich auf feminin getrimmt wirkt. Ist die Wahl des Schlussstriches der einfache Weg zum Abspann, so doch nur, weil der Plot nicht ergiebiger ist. Das stört nicht weiter, stellen doch Boettichers Ausnutzung des CinemaScope-Formates und die sehenswerten (männlichen) Darsteller jeden Westernfan zufrieden.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://orangedoe.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/lola_montes.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-205" style="margin:5px 10px;" src="http://orangedoe.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/lola_montes.jpg?w=269" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="5" width="247" height="168" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><a title="Lola Montes" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048308/" target="_blank">Lola Montès</a></strong></span> (F/D 1955)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Auch wenn <strong>Max Ophüls'</strong> <strong>Lola Montès</strong> zuweilen Gefahr läuft, sich in melodramatischen Männergeschichten zu verlieren, ist das Werk doch einer der größten Filme aller Zeiten.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Die Art und Weise, wie Ophüls in dieser Ausstattungsorgie das CinemaScope- Format ausnutzt, raubt auch dem abgeklärtesten Zuschauer den Atem.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Peter Ustinov </strong>führt uns in der Manege seines Zirkus' durch die Lebensgeschichte der Kurtisane Lola Montès, Geliebte u.a. des bayrischen Königs Ludwig I. (Anton Walbrook). In Flashbacks sehen wir ihren Aufstieg und Fall, während die gesundheitlich geschwächte Lola (<strong>Martine Carol</strong>) Kostüm für Kostüm wechselt, um in einem perversen Akt der Selbsterniedrigung ihr gescheitertes Leben für die neugierige Öffentlichkeit unter dem Zirkuszelt nachzustellen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ausgedehnte Kamerafahrten, die unserer Heldin beim abstrakten Balanceakt im Zirkuszelt, wie im wirklichen Leben folgen, der detailversessene Perfektionismus in Ausstattung und Inszenierung lassen den modernen Zuschauer nachvollziehen, warum später <strong>Stanley Kubrick</strong> Ophüls als künstlerischen Einfluss nennen sollte.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Daher lädt <strong>Lola Montès</strong> zum Vergleich mit<strong> </strong>dem 20 Jahre später entstandenen <strong>Barry Lyndon</strong> ein. Ustinov fungiert im Grunde als düstere Version des Erzählers aus Kubricks Film, welcher vom Aufstieg und Niedergang eines Mannes handelte, dessen Lebensweg durch Europa und dessen politische Verwicklungen führt.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Im Gegensatz zur eher an literarischen Gestaltungsformen orientierten Erzählung in Barry Lyndon, erlangt <strong>Lola Montès</strong> eine ungebrochene Modernität durch die Handlungsrahmung des Zirkus, der einen artifiziellen Überbau des Geschehens darstellt.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Wenn wir die Eskapaden einer Amy Winehouse mit einer makaberen Distanziertheit am heimischen Bildschirm verfolgen, scheint der Schritt zum für die gaffenden Massen präsentierten Untergang der Kurtisane nicht weit.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nicht zufällig ist die Zirkusmanege von einem kühlen, blauen Licht erfüllt. Sie strahlt eine gespenstische Aura aus, als würde man aus der Unterwelt einen Blick ins vergangene Leben werfen. Diese Zirkusmanege ist der morbide Leinwandersatz, das Äquivalent zum Fernsehbildschirm heute.</p>

<p>Your memory once again surpasses mine...Grandma Mabel did indeed diagnose me as a victim of Hammer Toe...I think I thought that Hammer Toe and Club Foot were interchangeable.  It looks like I know just about as much about podiatry as our favorite "A for Effort" doctor, Chuck Bovary.</p>
<p>And I think of all the titles you proposed <em>Gooseberry</em> is my favorite.  I like it because it's abstract, a metaphor indeed for our heroine, Emma.  From all appearances on the outside sweet as any berry you know, but coursing inside with bitter juices.</p>
<p>The past few days I've been recalcitrant in my reading of <em>Bovary. </em>I tried reading it on the bus and the foot surgery (and its gruesome aftereffects) had me audibly reacting...and I have a strict "Make no noises on the bus" policy that has left the book rattling along the bottom of my man purse (I have one and love it and wear it with pride!).</p>
<p>But maybe tonight...I'm hoping to watch the end of <em>Murder on the Nile</em> starring my favorite, Angela Lansbury (and Peter Ustinov!).  But after that's over I'll dedicate myself to Emma, Rodolphe, and Berthe (I won't forget Berthe, because its apparent Emma has--zing!).</p>
<p>Adieu and good night,</p>
<p>Jon</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://acasatorta.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/ackroyd_capa_branca.jpg" alt="" align="right" />Sempre fica aquela dúvida: qual ator melhor personifica o grande Hercule Poirot ? Entre os cinéfilos, muitos dirão <a href="http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/product.asp?sku=D68698" target="_blank">Peter Ustinov</a>, que consagrou o detetive em adaptações como a de "Morte no Nilo" (nas telas brasileiras, "Morte Sobre o Nilo"), ainda que Ustinov esteja bem distante da descrição sugerida por Agatha Christie em seus primeiros livros. A modernidade da TV a cabo trouxe para nós <a href="http://acasatorta.wordpress.com/2008/03/16/poirot-ainda-e-poirot/">David Suchet</a>, uma das caracterizações mais interessantes, além de Alfred Molina, <a href="http://acasatorta.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/os-poirots-austin-trevor/">Austin Trevor</a>, entre outros.</p>
<p>Há passagens, em geral muito bem humoradas, nos livros da Dama do Crime que apresentam ao leitor a visão dos outros personagens ao se depararem com o detetive. Uma delas está em "O Assassinato de Roger Ackroyd", quando Poirot é confundido com um... <!--more Continuar Lendo » -->cabeleireiro ! Abaixo, alguns trechos, na tradução portuguesa de Heitor Berutti:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mas não é certamente isto que Caroline deseja saber. Ela quer saber de onde vem, que faz, se é casado, quem era, isto é, quem é sua mulher, se tem filhos, qual era o nome de família de sua mãe, e assim por diante. Começo a acreditar que quem inventou os passaportes devia ser um tipo do género de minha irmã.<br />
- Ouve, Caroline - disse lhe. - Não pode haver dúvidas sobre a profissão do nosso vizinho. Deve ser um cabeleireiro que se retirou dos negócios. Não reparaste no seu bigode?<br />
Não estava de acordo; achava que se fosse um cabeleireiro, teria os cabelos ondulados e não lisos. Todos os cabeleireiros os têm assim.<br />
Citei o exemplo de alguns cabeleireiros que têm os cabelos lisos, mas Caroline não se convenceu.<br />
- Há dias - disse num tom insatisfeito - pedi-lhe emprestados apetrechos para o jardim; mostrou se gentilíssimo, porém, nada consegui arrancar-lhe. Finalmente, perguntei lhe, à queima roupa, se era francês, e ele respondeu que não; e, não sei porquê, não ousei fazer-lhe outras perguntas. <em>(capítulo 3)</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>O meu minúsculo vizinho aprovou com a cabeça.<br />
- É assim mesmo. Acabamos por ser escravos dos nossos hábitos. Trabalhamos para alcançar um objectivo, e, uma vez alcançado, começamos a sentir falta das velhas ocupações. Digo a verdade, senhor, o meu trabalho era dos mais interessantes que existem no Mundo.<br />
- Ah!, sim? - animei. Por um momento, senti  me dominado pelo espírito de Caroline.<br />
- Estudava a natureza humana, meu caro senhor - confessou ele.<br />
- A sério?<br />
Era evidente que se tratava de um cabeleireiro retirado. Quem conhece os segredos da natureza humana melhor do que um cabeleireiro? <em>(capítulo 3)</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Fiquei assombrado. Não podia imaginar um Ackroyd que escolhera um cabeleireiro para seu confidente e discutira com ele o casamento de sua sobrinha com o enteado. Ele costumava tratar com bondosa superioridade as pessoas que lhe são inferiores em classe e tem uma noção bem viva da sua dignidade. Comecei a pensar que, afinal, Mister Porrot [sic] poderia não ser cabeleireiro. Para ocultar a minha confusão, disse a primeira coisa que me passou pela cabeça.<em>(capítulo 3)</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>- Peço lhe, doutor, que me acompanhe à villa dos Lariços.<br />
O convite era realmente estranho e Caroline especificou:<br />
- A casa daquele estranho homenzinho.<br />
- Exactamente   confirmou Flora. – Sabem quem é, não é verdade?<br />
- Julgo tratar se de um cabeleireiro reformado - declarei arriscando um sorriso.<br />
- Que está a dizer! - espantou se Flora. - É Hercule Poirot, o célebre detective particular. Tem feito investigações prodigiosas, como essas que vêm nos livros. Retirou se, há um ano, da profissão e veio morar para aqui. Meu tio sabia quem ele era, mas prometera lhe guardar sigilo, já que ele pretendia manter se tranquilo. <em>(capítulo 7)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Curiosamente, Poirot também é descrito em <a href="http://pt.shvoong.com/books/474650-morte-na-mesopot-mia/" target="_blank">Morte na Mesopotâmia</a> como "um protótipo de cabeleireiro de peças cômicas"... :)</p>

<description><![CDATA[Jeg har nu passeret halvvejsmærket for min praktikperiode, hvilket næsten ikke er til at begribe ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Jeg har nu passeret halvvejsmærket for min praktikperiode, hvilket næsten ikke er til at begribe – og dog.. Når jeg tænker på, hvad jeg har lært indtil nu og de opgaver jeg har arbejdet med og færdiggjort, er det ikke til at forstå, at jeg ikke har været her længere.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Jeg føler mig meget privilegeret over at have fået praktikplads i en virksomhed, der ”tør” give mig ansvar for reelle opgaver. Netop dette ansvar er en stor motivationsfaktor. <span> </span>Bevidstheden om, at mit arbejde bliver taget seriøst, giver mig lyst til at yde mere og stræbe højere. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Uden ansvar tror jeg, at man ville have en tendens til hurtigt at vælge den sikre vej og holde sig til det kendte. Så snart man er ansvarlig for en opgave, er det min overbevisning, at hvis man bare har et gram af ambitioner i kroppen, vil man stræbe mod noget højere; man vil igennem sit arbejde kunne imponere samt opnå anerkendelse.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Samtidig med, at man tager ansvar for en opgave, må man også tage ansvar for sin handlinger – dette betyder at udføres en opgave utilfredsstillende, skal man også være klar til at tage kritikken og konsekvenserne.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Når man får tildelt en opgave skal man altså ikke lade sig skræmme af det medfølgende ansvar, men i stedet vende det til noget positivt. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Ansvar kan både ses som en tillidserklæring, men også som en test på, om man er en opgave moden. Uanset hvilken af de to muligheder, der er tilfældet, bør man tage kampen op og vise hvad man kan. Jeg er af den overbevisning at så længe man gør sit bedste og lytter til de råd og den kritik man får undervejs, så skal man nok finde i mål.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Jeg tror mange lader sig hæmme af at få tildelt ansvar. De er bange for at træde ved siden af og tør derfor ikke være sig selv i en opgave. I stedet søger de at komme med de ideer, de tror kunden vil have. Selvfølgelig skal man lytte til kundens ønsker, men det er ens opgave at give dem noget nyt og spændende, som de ikke har set før. Der er jo ikke noget spændende og innovativt i at redesigne et eksisterende produkt – Man skal sigte højere og stadig have det sjovt med det man laver.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">Ansvar må altså ikke ses som en hæmsko men som motivation. Det er en faktor man skal have i baghovedet, men ikke lade sig styre af:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Calibri;">   - det er vort ansvar og ikke os selv, vi skal tage alvorligt <em>Peter Ustinov</em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0 0 10pt;"><strong></strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>                       <img src="http://movietv.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/logansrun.jpg" alt="logansrun.jpg" align="middle" /></p>
<p>Wir befinden uns in der Zunkunft ..genauer gesagt , wie der Titel schon verrät im 23. Jahrhundert. In dieser fernen Zunkunft  leben die Menschen von der Aussenwelt völlig isoliert in einer gigantischen Glaskuppel , welche sie aber als ihren natürlichen Lebensraums ehen , weil sie es nicht anders kennen. Auch herrschen dort andere Sitten .Monogamie gilt als verpöhnt , Drogen und andere Rauschmittel gibt es überall ...das ganze hat nur einen Haken , niemand in dieser "Stadt" darf älter als 30 Jahre werden . Und um das zu kontrollieren trägt jeder Bewohner einen Lebenskristall in seiner Handfläche ....der in den verschiedenen Jahren die Farbe wechselt , bis er dann anfängt zu blinken ..Wenn dies geschieht , werden die Betroffenen in das "Karussell" gebracht . Alle sehen darin ein religiöses Zentrum , wo sie ,w enn sie eintreten in eine höhere Ebene des Bewusstseins gehoben werden .....doch eigentlich werden sie dort nur unter viel Show hingerichtet ,ohne das es die anderen mitbekommen.</p>
<p>Nun gibt es aber auch ein paar schlaue Köpfe , die hinter dieses System des Karusells gekommen sind , welche als Läufer bezeichnet werden und die das Gerücht in Umlauf bringen , das es ausserhalb der Kuppel eine Zuflucht gibt vor diesem Karussell ...Und  dann gibt es die Sandmänner ...welche als Polizei agieren und auf die Läufer angesetzt werden ....Und wie es ja meist dann in solchen Filmen ist , läuft alles gut , bis eine Frau ins Spiel kommt , denn dann bekommt Sandman "Logan5 " den Auftrag herauszufinden , ob an dem Gerücht etwas wahres dran ist , verliebt sich aber und ist dann selber auf der Flucht ...Nach einer sehr aufregenden Flucht finden er und seine Partnerin die Zuflucht und treffen dort auf einen alten Mann ....So einen alten Menschen haben sie natürlich noch nie gesehen , sie bleiben eine Weile bei ihm , bis sie beschliessen die anderen davon zu überzeugen , das man auch ruhig älter 30 werden kann :)</p>
<p><img src="http://movietv.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/logru.jpg" alt="logru.jpg" /></p>
<p>Soviel zum Inhalt , nun zur Bewertung :)</p>
<p>Logans Run ist trotz der  stellenweise primitiven Effekte [ hey , er kam 1976 raus ] ein grossartiger Film ,  die Schauspieler waren zwar alle nicht ursprünglich geplant von den Filmmachern , passten aber perfekt in die Rollen ....[ Michael York als Logan5 ,Jenny Agutter als Jessica 6 und Peter Ustinov als der alte Mann]</p>
<p>Fazit : kann man sich gern immer wieder mal angucken und gehört in die Klassiker Abteilung :)</p>
