Gadaj?ce g?owy/Talking Heads (1980)
The Kuleshov Effect / Effetto Kuleshov
Bryan Ferry, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love"
Ferry brings out a dark side to the original tune by Elvin Bishop (1975). The film noir clips from Murder, My Sweet (dir. Edward Mytrk, 1944), Out of the Past, Crossfire, and The Killers in the middle and the end of the video suggest that Ferry may have fallen in love with a very dangerous woman. Love is a revolving door. You’re always alone, on the other side of the glass, going in or going out.
1: 47-53; recurs at 3:05. Robert Mitchum is wearing a trench coat coming through the revolving door in Out of the Past (1947). Spoiler alert. Jane Greer shoots him as he crashes the car with her in it once he sees the cops have set up a roadblock. They both die. I cannot make out who is going through the door on the left. Perhaps Mitchum.
1:55 That is Greer walking out of a revolving door from the same building Mitchum just entered at on the bottom left.
1:58-2:00 Guy on the left with his back turned the camera? Guessing that is Edmund O’Brien. It may be Mitchum.
1:46; 3:00 Mitchum kissing Virginia Hutson goodbye in Out of the Past near the end of the film. Matches an earlier shot of him kissing Greer.
3:13 Working girl Gloria Grahame is dancing with George Cooper in Crossfire (1947).
3:18 upper right corner is Ava Gardner and in lower right corner are Charles McGraw and Robert Gannon walking to the diner in the opening shot of The Killers (1946). Gannon is on the left and McGraw is on the right. They have come to kill Burt Lancaster, who knows Gardner has betrayed him. Even though is alerted that the killers are on their way, Lancaster just lies in bed until they open the door to his room and shoot him dead in the dark.
3:22 That is Edmund O’Brien on the sidewalk lighting a match to light a cigarette, also in The Killers.
The Strand theater in the lower left of the first shot is showing Here Comes the Navy (dir. Lloyd Bacon, 1934), a comedy starring James Cagney, Gloria Stuart, Pat O'Brien, and Frank McHugh.
Murder, My Sweet (dir. Edward Mytrk, 1944) Dick Powell seated, seeing Mike Mazurki's reflection in the window.
Out of the Past (dir. Jacques Tourneur, 1947) Robert Mitchum entering an hotel.
Mitchum with co-star Jane Greer
Cross-Fire (dir. Edward Dmytyrk, 1947) Gloria Grahame dancing with Paul Kelly.
The Killers (dir. Robert Siodmak, 1946) fade into shots of Ava Gardner in the upper right corner near the end of the film and the second shot of The Killers in the lower right.
Edmund O'Brien lighting a cigarette as Ava Gardner's cab arrives at a club.

If to read a book as it should be read calls for the rarest qualities of imagination, insight, and judgment, you may perhaps conclude that literature is a very complex art and that it is unlikely that we shall be able, even after a lifetime of reading, to make any valuable contribution to its criticism. We must remain readers.

To learn how to understand a music, a philosopher said, you have to hear it twice.
A conductor of baroque music said you have to listen to on repeated earings before you understand it.
To understand how to watch films critically, you need to watch them twice, close together. So you will be watching the same film twice, once for class discussion on Tuesdays and the second time for class discussion on Thursdays. Like any work of art, the films we'll watch cannot be exhausted. You can watch them over and over again, sometimes years or even decades apart and enjoy the experience each time you do.
Repetition is key to learning.
Vienna and Schubert: 'Death and the Maiden' String Quartet - Professor Chris Hogwood CBE
"the greatest pieces of music are called classics simply because at a first hearing--that is terribly that is very complicated to work out what's going on or even more complicated to explain to yourself why it's going on--even to hear it has to be heard several times probably after first hearing immediately go back and hear it again, and on repeated hearings repreated things come to light."
"How full of meaning and significance the language of music is we see from the repetition of signs, as well as from the Da capo which would be intolerable in the case of works composed in the language of words. In music, however, they are very appropriate and beneficial; for to comprehend it fully, we must hear it twice."
--Arthur Schopenhauer, "On the Metaphysics of Music"
“One of the tasks of the film critic of tomorrow—perhaps he will even be called a ‘television critic’—will be to rid the world of the comic figure the average film critic and film theorist of today represents: he lives from the glory of his memories like the 70-year-old ex-court actresses, rummages about as they do in yellowing photographs, speaks of names that are long gone. He discussses films no one has been able to see for ten years or more (and about which they can therefore say everything and nothing) with people of his own ilk; he argues about montage like medieval scholars discussed the existence of God, believing all these things could still exist today. In the evening, he sits with rapt attention in the cinema, a critical art lover, as through we still lived in the days of Griffith, Stroheim, Murnau and Eisenstein. He thinks he is seeing bad films instead of understanding that what he sees is no longer film at all.”
~ Rudolf Arnheim, 1935
A favorite talking point of establishment, so-called progressives who support de-platforming and social media censorship by Silicon Valley tech giants is "free speech doesn't mean speech free from consequences." That is a typically vague, but also threatening neoliberal content free statement. What consequences follow from exercising your First Amendment right to free speech other than more speech? Doxxing? Getting fired from your job? If you are against free speech, that is your right. But the consequence is that I will think you are really dumb. And ignorant. And morally under-developed. And figure that you are probably white. Ditto if you are against due process. The First Amendment protects minorities and those with minority opinions from being de-platformed and censored. "Hate speech," otherwise known as "speech I don't like," is constitutionally protected speech. Guess what happens to Palestinian student activists if they organize a boycott of Israel. The Fifth Amendment guarantees due process, meaning someone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Guess how many black men have been falsely accused and convicted of raping a white woman only to be exonerated decades later because DNA evidence proved their innocence. Have you ever seen To Kill a Mockingbird? Guess how many people convicted of murder and then executed were posthumously exonerated. Guess how many black people have been lynched. Google it. Educate yourself. Know your civil liberties. Don't be dumb, be a smartie. Universal Rights protect racial and sexual minorities. "Representation," perhaps the most cynical notion of politics ever to emerge from the elites in the history of the United States, does not. The National Security State wants you identitification papers. Authoritarianism, censorship, Big Tech demonitization and deplatforming of social media, policing who can say what where, the pre-school politics of twitter are antithetical to the thought and imaginative freedom which creating literature involves.

‘Mr. Robot’ Season 4, Episode 7: Acts of Malice Overhead tracking shots; "commercial-free installment";"But there’s something about the episode’s ostentatious use of a five-act structure, complete with title cards and fades to black between acts, that portends more than a detour into crime fiction."
Mr. Robot Season 2 Episode 6 eps2.4_m4ster-s1ave.aes Sitcom introduction
"One should never bear grudges against people, never judge them by the memory of one unkind act, for we can never know all the good resolves and effective actions of which their souls may have been capable at another time. And so, even from the simple point of view of foresight, we make mistakes. For no doubt the bad pattern we observed on that one occasion will recur. But the soul is richer than that, has many other patterns which will also recur in the same man, yet we refuse to take pleasure in them because of one piece of bad behavior in the past."
--Marcel Proust, The Prisoner, trans. Carol Cook, p. 311

ticket and does not board the plane. Cross cutting as Dom runs back to the boarding gate. Music Carly Rae Jepsen "Run Away

So students. You already know how to read by genre. Happy ending--or

New UF Library West lending policy as of July 2022: Before checking out the book to a would-be borrower, UF librarians are now required to flip through each page of each book a patron wants to check to see if there is any highlighting, or pen or pencil marks. It's like renting a car. They have to note the marks if there are any. They have to go through them again when the lender returns them to see if that lender has "damaged" them. After I checked out a bok, I found two pages marked up in pencil by a previous borrower. The librarian didn't catch them when she checked them out to me. Will I have to submit to a handwriting test to show I didn't write make those marks and write those words? Is there an underlining test? And what if the borrower if falsely accused? Is there a trial? At a moment when no one at UF actually borrows books (except for me), the value of a library book without annotations skyrockets for UF librarian admin. Meanwhile, celebrated book historians and literary critics write books published by major university presses about marginalia left by readers in library books. File under "UF admin with too much time on their hands stupidly invent new ways to make the lives of students and faculty even more difficult, including new ways of disciplining the students and faculty for what, exactly? Reading Misconduct?" UF even has bookmarks at the desk with cartoons of books tell the reader what not to do to them. How much ddid they cost? Who ordered them?

William Wordsworth, THE PRELUDE
BOOK TWELFTH
IMAGINATION AND TASTE, HOW IMPAIRED AND RESTORED
There are in our existence spots of time,
That with distinct pre-eminence retain
A renovating virtue, whence--depressed 210
By false opinion and contentious thought,
Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight,
In trivial occupations, and the round
Of ordinary intercourse--our minds
Are nourished and invisibly repaired;
A virtue, by which pleasure is enhanced,
That penetrates, enables us to mount,
When high, more high, and lifts us up when fallen.
I remember well,
That once, while yet my inexperienced hand
Could scarcely hold a bridle, with proud hopes
I mounted, and we journeyed towards the hills:
An ancient servant of my father's house
Was with me, my encourager and guide: 230
We had not travelled long, ere some mischance
Disjoined me from my comrade; and, through fear
Dismounting, down the rough and stony moor
I led my horse, and, stumbling on, at length
Came to a bottom, where in former times
A murderer had been hung in iron chains.
The gibbet-mast had mouldered down, the bones
And iron case were gone; but on the turf,
Hard by, soon after that fell deed was wrought,
Some unknown hand had carved the murderer's name. 240
The monumental letters were inscribed
In times long past; but still, from year to year
By superstition of the neighbourhood,
The grass is cleared away, and to this hour
The characters are fresh and visible:
A casual glance had shown them, and I fled,
Faltering and faint, and ignorant of the road:
Then, reascending the bare common, saw
A naked pool that lay beneath the hills,
The beacon on the summit, and, more near, 250
A girl, who bore a pitcher on her head,
And seemed with difficult steps to force her way
Against the blowing wind.
Heirich von Kleist, "On the Gradual Production of Thoughts Whilst Speaking"

This segment below is really worth watching in its entirety: One brave anti-war candidate gets through the gauntlet of four furious, total establishment enemy combatants. Gabbard is incredibly poised and strong, calling out the smearing of her and other leftists as it happens in real time, face to face. Bizarrely, it now appears that a woman from the military who actully thinks rationally about foreign interventions and regime changes would make a better than the militarized chickenhawk civilians now running the country.
