Facing the Faces of Death,bottega veneta outlet The very first video store I ever worked at was a mom and pop store that only competed with the big chains because it had a great location, we carried adult videos and we weren under a lot of scrutiny about what we carried like the big chain stores. The Last Temptation of Christ (198  was a huge rental because we were the only store in town that had it. What was an even bigger rental than Martin Scorsese controversial classic was the Faces of Death films. The store had multiple copies of each and they were constantly being rented, usually right before we closed. As popular as they were I never bothered to watch them.The Faces of Death are documentaries spooled together from various news clips and amateur footage of people dying. Often I was asked questions like, deaths real or fake? When is the new one coming out? Is volume 3 back yet? It became an annoyance. When I received an email that the original was being re released for its 30th anniversary I got nostalgic and apprehensive. Finally there would be a chance to see that title all those people rented over and over again so many years ago. However,oakley, I wasn sure if I would be able to stomach human atrocities such as a beheading or electrocution. More importantly,ghd straighteners, is what I am going to watch even real? There is an order and structure to the film,rolex watches for sale. It is not just a clip show of people dying,sunglasses outlet. The film does journey to the dark continents and places of the world to show how easily death comes to both man and animals,ray ban. The film makers beautifully parallel brutal tribal feasts with that of common food preparations in rural America. In doing this it allows us to drop our guard and open our minds to what lies ahead in the Faces of Death. What was suspicious was with each accident, animal attack or police shoot out no one tells the cameraman to get out of the way. Nor does the camera ever fall to ground and the cameraman help those in danger. Journalistic integrity is something I can understand and appreciate but a regular person filming his friend feed a bear and then get mauled? Why wouldn they put down the camera and help? There were a few other things that I started to notice. The various police departments often left themselves get exposed to danger. There wasn any kind of tactical approach to anything (my father and brother are police officers so trust me on this). Many of the deaths were also very well lit. The film looked clean and perfectly exposed. If you have ever loaded a Bolex camera or tried to adjust the aperture it is not an easy task for just anyone. This footage simply looked too good. I was a little unnerved at times with some of the autopsy moments and the animal cruelty (thankfully I had seen Cannibal Holocaust). What was not only disappointing but also totally self gratifying was the bonus feature Cuts featuring the films editor Glenn Turner. Turner talks about editing the film and filming additional scenes that would supply more of story to the moments that he and the director pulled from the news and documentary archives. Apparently the producers wanted more of lead in to make it seem more real. They wanted to see the people before they were mauled, killed or electrocuted. I know a lot of what I saw was real. This glamorization or sensationalizing approach to a documentary about death ruined what lies at the heart of a documentary filmmaking. Documentaries are an exploration of the subject in question. Fabricating anything turns the story into a work of fiction. The deaths are real but the humanity onscreen is prefabricated for our enjoyment. The Faces of Death has its shock value even by today standards. What it worth it? No, but at least I finally got to see what all those people were so fascinated with so many years ago. Perhaps I move down the row and try and find Frankenhooker. That was another title that always seemed to fly off the shelf. HORROR (as was the case last year, in October,nike tn, Horror comes first) Theatrical Version: This original version of the film Preview Version: Created prior to the theatrical version Bringing Evil to Life: This never before released Restored Version Audio Commentary: Featuring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh and restoration producer Rick Schmidlin. FeenyRosenbaum and James Naremore Vertigo (Universal Legacy Series) Although several of the "human death" scenes are obviously faked (with Allan A. Apone,mont blanc, make up and special effects artist for the film, saying that about 40% of it is fake[1]), some of the footage is genuine. Famous scenes of death from the media are included, such as stock footage of a napalm bombing in Vietnam,kate spade, various newsreel footage,nba jerseys, and wartime footage of Hitler. Also featured are the actual on camera deaths of a variety of animals,toms shoes outlet, including seals being clubbed to death and animals being killed on the slaughterhouse line. "Documentaries are an exploration of the subject in question,vuitton handbags. Fabricating anything turns the story into a work of fiction,marc jacobs outlet. The deaths are real but the humanity onscreen is prefabricated for our enjoyment,coach outlet store." in this video series, YES I would agree that fabricating anything cheapens the effect, because you are actually filming a FAKE bear attack, however I have seen many CGI automobile crashes and trainwrecks and plane crashes as plausable explanations of how the crash happened (because no cameras were present) this effect was used in the OJ simpson trial and will probably next be used to recreate the famous Steve Fossett plane crash accident that took his life. Filming 40% fake material for a FACES OF DEATH is bullshit and even calls the "real" footage into question (I happened to have rented this shit back 30 years ago, the sequels used much more fake footage and the quality of the filmed deaths dropped dramatically, it was pretty obvious it was a hoax,michael kors handbags, a fake and not a very good one at that) if I remember correctly the remaining 60% was all slaughter houses, animals being killed and meat processing plant walkthroughs (not actual PEOPLE deaths) it would have boosted their credibility if they had just admitted that some of the scenes were recreations of actual news stories using actors and no one in the scenes was genuinely killed or hurt. true religion outlet s...ne Cheap Replica Handbags coach outlet online Ca...
