<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-94" title="n1297" src="http://gilwilson.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/n1297.jpg?w=90" alt="n1297" width="90" height="150" />Planet of the Apes<br />
by Pierre Boulle<br />
originally published in 1963<br />
This 2000 edition published by Gramercy Books</p>
<p>Recently I set myself down in front of my television and watched a marathon of all the &#8220;Planet of the Apes&#8221; movies and was amazed at how they were still good after all these years.  I also noticed how some of the social commentary was still applicable. While watching the credits roll on all the films I kept seeing that they were all based on the novel by Pierre Boulle, and being the avid reader/autodidactic I am, I decided to read the novel.  This novel is a classic, I&#8217;ve discovered and should be required reading for our youth because, while the 6 films touched on some social commentary,  issues like racism, class divisions, vivisection, and the dangers of close-mindedness, Pierre Boulle had all this wrapped in this one 191 page novel.</p>
<p>Basically if you take all the concepts from the films (except for &#8220;Beneath the Planet of the Apes&#8221;) you get this one story.  It&#8217;s odd how all the films have a touch of some of the original novel but not one single movie had all the action/concepts.  Also only 4 characters from the book made it to the original 70s era movies and Tim Burton&#8217;s Planet of the Apes from 2001 added one more character from the novel.  Those characters are; Cornelius, Zira, Zaius, Nova and Hector.  In the 2001 film Hector played an important part but in the novel the Earth chimp is killed not long after landing on the Planet of the Apes.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the story in a nutshell.  Jinn and Phyllis, a couple out on a pleasure cruise in a spaceship, find a message in a bottle floating in space. The message inside the bottle is the testimony of a man, Ulysse Mérou, who has written down his story in the hope that someone else, somewhere, will find it. Ulysse begins by explaining that he was a friend of Professor Antelle, a genius scientist on Earth, who invented a spaceship that could travel at nearly the speed of light. Ulysse, the professor, and a physicist named Levain fly off in this ship to explore outer space. They travel to the nearest star system that the professor theorized might be capable of life, the red sun Betelgeuse, which would take them about 350 years to reach. Due to time dilation, however, the trip seems to the travelers only to last two years.</p>
<p>Upon landing on this planet in the Betlguese system, which they name Soror, the astronauts see signs of civilization but find that the humans are like wild animals living in the jungle and without the ability of speech.  After the humans discover the astronauts they go wild and attack the landing craft, destroying it and the clothes, which the humans don&#8217;t wear on this planet.  The astronauts &#8220;go native&#8221; in order to understand this society.  Soon it is discovered that the humans aren&#8217;t the dominate race, when a gorilla hunting party begins trapping and killing humans.</p>
<p>Ulysse manages to escape being killed only to be trapped, caged and taken to some chimpanzee scientists.   Levain is killed and the fate of Professor Antelle is unknown at this time.</p>
<p>Ulysse at first observes the ape culture then finds an ally in Zira, a chimpanzee scientist.  Zira and Cornelius (her fiance), plan to show Ulysse at a scientific forum, to help prove Cornelius theories of evolution.  Soon Ulysse becomes somewhat of a celebrity among the apes and is treated like an ape (like the apes were in &#8220;Escape from the Planet of the Apes&#8221;).  Not long after Ulysse is exposed to the ape culture, a strange archaeological site is found to show that humans were once the dominant species and that out of laziness became the lower life form and the apes took over in an uprising (like in the last 2 movies of the original series;&#8221;Conquest&#8230;&#8221; &#38; &#8220;Battle&#8230;&#8221;).</p>
<p>Soon Zira, Cornelius and Ulysse learns the scientists want to destroy all evidence of humans once being dominant, that includes Ulysse, so they plan his escape.   One thing at this point I should point out is that the Apes on Soror are not the same as in the movies, they are technologically advanced and just beginning to send satellites into space. Yep, the apes drive cars and fly planes.</p>
<p>This book has a great twist ending, although it is nowhere near the Charlton Heston scene with the Statue of Liberty, it is a bit of a surprise.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1421" title="Planet of the Apes" src="http://goremasternews.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/planet-of-the-apes.jpg" alt="Planet of the Apes" width="445" height="250" /></p>
<p>Jim Lowe &#8211; Times Argus Staff</p>
<p>   Science fiction has long attracted hordes of movie-goers, perhaps because it predicts the future.<br />
   &#8220;People are interested in the future and what it holds,&#8221; explained Eric Reynolds, creator of the Savoy Theater&#8217;s Sci-Fi July film festival, now in its third year. &#8220;I&#8217;m fascinated by the future. I would love to see what the earth looks like in 500 years – if human beings are still around – and I enjoy a good action-adventure story, which a lot of science fiction has.&#8221;<br />
   This year, Sci-Fi July will present nine science fiction films at the Montpelier art film theater, from the classic 1956 &#8220;Invasion of the Body Snatchers&#8221; to the 1986 thriller &#8220;Aliens.&#8221;<br />
   &#8220;There are different kinds of science fiction,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;There are very positive and negative science fiction stories. This summer, for instance, there are two vastly different science fiction films that have already come out, &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; and &#8216;Terminator Salvation&#8217; – they&#8217;re very different futures.&#8221;<br />
   One of the attractions is certainly the technology.<br />
   &#8220;Everything we do is centered around technology – the computers and the Internet,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;I think we&#8217;re making our way to what science fiction has shown us already.&#8221;<br />
   Science fiction has also helped mold the technology, particularly the original 1966 &#8220;Star Trek.&#8221;<br />
   &#8220;Even scientists use that as a guide for technologies that they&#8217;d like to see,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;I think we have those – the cell phone looks very much like the communicator from the original &#8216;Star Trek.&#8217;&#8221;<br />
   Sci-fi also predicted the personal computer, among other things.<br />
   &#8220;All sorts of things have grown out of what people imagine,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;Science fiction more and more is becoming science reality.&#8221;<br />
   Several of this year&#8217;s films were on Reynolds&#8217; list from the beginning, but there wasn&#8217;t space to schedule them.<br />
   &#8220;Films like &#8216;Close Encounters&#8217; and &#8216;Brazil&#8217; were on the list the very first year, but I just didn&#8217;t have room to show them,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They&#8217;re great films – &#8216;Close Encounters&#8217; is a favorite of mine.&#8221;<br />
   In Steven Spielberg&#8217;s 1977 Oscar-winner, &#8220;Close Encounters of the Third Kind&#8221; follows a line worker who, after a encounter with UFOs, is drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen. In a very different vein, Terry Gilliam&#8217;s 1985 cult classic, &#8220;Brazil&#8221; pillories government bureaucracy with a tale of an unimportant civil servant drawn into the world of terrorists over a young woman he dreams of.<br />
   Last year, &#8220;Barbarella,&#8221; Roger Vadim&#8217;s 1985 erotic sci-fi spoof starring Jane Fonda, was the most attended film the festival. Hence, &#8220;Logan&#8217;s Run&#8221; and &#8220;Flash Gordon,&#8221; in the same vein. An Academy Award winner for visual effects, Michael Anderson&#8217;s 1976 &#8220;Logan&#8217;s Run&#8221; chronicles a future society which maintains its equilibrium by killing anyone who reaches the age of 30. Mike Hodges&#8217; campy 1980 &#8220;Flash Gordon&#8221; is based on the macho comic book super-hero of the same name.<br />
   &#8220;I would love to have some classic films in there, so &#8216;Invasion of the Body Snatchers&#8217; and &#8220;Dr. Strangelove&#8217; certainly fit that bill,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;They both happen to be about the Cold War. They&#8217;re sort of from the same era, showing different aspects of that.&#8221;<br />
   In Don Siegel&#8217;s 1956 &#8220;Invasion of the Body Snatchers,&#8221; which was subjected to several remakes, a community finds that its citizens are being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates. &#8220;Dr. Stranglelove,&#8221; Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s black comedy starring Peter Sellars and George C. Scott, satirizes the nuclear scare.<a href="http://www.goremaster.com/specialeffectsmakeup101.html"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1422" title="Goremaster Makeup Effects Manual" src="http://goremasternews.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/goremaster-makeup-effects-manual12.jpg?w=209" alt="Goremaster Makeup Effects Manual" width="209" height="300" /></a><br />
   Another that Reynolds has wanted to present from the beginning is &#8220;Planet of the Apes,&#8221; Franklin Schaffner&#8217;s 1968 film based on the novel by Pierre Boulle in which apes rule and humans are subservient.<br />
   &#8220;I actually read the book a couple of years ago,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;I thought it was a great book. It&#8217;s very different from both movie versions.&#8221;<br />
   Charlton Heston. starred, as he did in a number of sci-fi films, including &#8220;The Omega Man&#8221; (1971) and &#8220;Soylent Green&#8221; (1973).<br />
   Sci-Fi July has been attracting a small but dedicated audience since its inception, one that is growing.<br />
   &#8220;The same people who come again and again – but that group is slowly getting larger and larger,&#8221; Reynolds said. &#8220;It seems to be mainly younger people, people in their 20s and early 30s.&#8221;<br />
   But, that is changing. After complaints about the original 11 p.m. screenings being too late for some &#8220;older&#8221; people, Reynolds added matinees.<br />
   &#8220;And we got a much wider range of people,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s people who like seeing classic or even campy films, and films that they have heard of but not on a large screen. They love the fact that we&#8217;re still doing it.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Title:</strong> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207267/"><em>Return to the Planet of the Apes</em></a><br />
<strong>Year:</strong> 1975<br />
<strong>Network:</strong> NBC<br />
<strong>Creator:</strong> David H. DePatie &#38; Friz Freleng (developers); Pierre Boulle (characters)<br />
<strong>Directors:</strong> Doug Wildey<br />
<strong>Writers:</strong> Larry Spiegel, Jack Kaplan, John Barrett, J.C. Strong, Bruce Shelly<br />
<strong>Starring:</strong> Austin Stoker, Philippa Harris, Henry Corden, Richard Blackburn, Edwin Mills, Claudette Nevins, Tom Williams<br />
<strong>Music:</strong> Dean Elliott<br />
<strong>Episodes:</strong> 13, at c. 24 minutes<br />
<strong>Synopsis:</strong> three astronauts crash on the Planet of the Apes and defend its human population from a mad gorilla general<br />
<strong>How I saw it:</strong> on video (have on DVD), over the past few days<br />
<strong>Subjective Rating:</strong> 6/10<br />
<strong>Objective Rating:</strong> 3/10 (gets points for concept, music and subjective rating)</p>
<p>Terrible acting.  Terrible animation.  Terrible writing &#8211; although the overall story arc is actually pretty good, enough so that I enjoyed the show.  Check out the deceptively fun theme music sequence:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/qKCdrcEhTJA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/qKCdrcEhTJA&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>We also recently tried watching the 1974 live action TV series.  Couldn&#8217;t get past the first disc (four episodes), it&#8217;s just too awful.  I have never seen a TV show that&#8217;s more insulting to its audience.  Compared to that, the cartoon seems great.</p>

<strong>Subjective Rating:</strong> 6/10<br />
<strong>Objective Rating:</strong> 6/10 (points off for story, cinematography, special effects/design and music)</p>
<p>Meh. You&#8217;ve got to give it some props for being ripped of as <em>The Road Warrior</em>, but otherwise there&#8217;s not much here.  This is the fifth <em>Apes</em> movie, and each installment of the franchise is progressively worse.  By this point, they just don&#8217;t seem to care anymore. Most of the apes&#8217; mouths don&#8217;t even move when they talk.  I give it as high a score as I do because I&#8217;m biased toward bad, campy sci-fi.</p>

<p><span>Y a-t-il des êtres humains ailleurs que dans notre galaxie ? C&#8217;est la question que se posent le professeur Antelle, Arthur Levain, son second, et le journaliste Ulysse Mérou, lorsque, de leur vaisseau spatial, ils observent le paysage d&#8217;une planète proche de Bételgeuse : on y aperçoit des villes, des routes curieusement semblables à celles de notre Terre.</p>
<p>Après s&#8217;y être posés, les trois hommes découvrent que la planète est habitée par des singes. Ceux-ci s&#8217;emparent d&#8217;Ulysse Mérou et se livrent sur lui à des expériences. Il faudra que le journaliste fasse, devant les singes, la preuve de son humanité&#8230;</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://folhasdepapel.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/planeta_macacos.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-410  aligncenter" title="planeta_macacos" src="http://folhasdepapel.wordpress.com/files/2009/05/planeta_macacos.jpg" alt="planeta_macacos" width="108" height="164" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Apreciação</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Para falar deste livro, temos de interiorizar uma forma abstracta de interpretação do que nos está a ser narrado. Aparentemente non-sense, O Planeta dos Macacos de Pierre Boille consegue facilmente diferenciar-se de obras de ficção científica sensacionalistas e pouco credíveis.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Enquadrando a narração de Ulisses, um jornalista da Terra no ano 2500 d.C., num espaço sideral infinito, Boille dá-nos a conhecer Soror, um planeta a 2 anos-luz do sistema solar. Aparentemente parecido com a Terra, este planeta esconde um terrível segredo: em última instância, e de forma a descomplicar, imaginem homens com corpo de macaco e vice-versa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Os homens deste planeta são verdadeiros animais, algo que pode ser constatado não só pelos seus actos bestiais, mas pelo seu olhar vítreo e vazio. Pelo contrário, as várias espécies de macacos são dotadas de inteligência e de raciocínio, com uma forma de vida muito semelhante àquela que conhecemos como “normal” em países desenvolvidos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A primeira vez que me deparei com esta história foi na adaptação cinematográfica de Tim Burton, após a qual vi a versão original (de cinema) assinada por Franklin J. Schaffner, tornando-se num dos meus filmes preferidos e digno de constar no meu Top10. Ao contrário do livro, estes filmes narram a fuga do protagonista num cenário de discórdia bruta e crua entre os homens e os animais, pelo que a ideia que eu tinha era quase errada. Na obra literária, Ulisses é feito prisioneiro e tornado em “cobaia” nas mãos dos macacos, os quais utilizam os seus teus mais básicos para compreender a capacidade de resolução de problemas dos humanos. Naturalmente, Ulisses acaba por comprovar que é dotado de inteligência – ao contrário dos humanos deste planeta, unindo todos os seus esforços mostrar que não é um animal irracional. Estas passagens são dignas de reflexão. Aliás, difícil é isso não acontecer.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Não tenho em mente outros livros que tenha lido de ficção científica. Penso que me estreei com “O Planeta dos Macacos” e fiquei surpresa com o que encontrei. Oxalá muitos outros compreendessem este nível de intelectualismo e de reflexão. Aconselho vivamente!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> &#124; David Lean, 1957</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss218/Jedimoonshyne9/7-11.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="border:0 none;" src="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss218/Jedimoonshyne9/3-41.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">David Lean&#8217;s epic wartime picture <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> is a film that put the director&#8217;s name up in lights. Lean, then largely unknown outside of Britain wasn&#8217;t first choice for the role however. It was a huge project, and the likes of John Ford, William Wyler, Howard Hawks and Orson Welles were initially considered by Columbia Pictures. Indeed, power producer Sam Spiegel himself is quoted as saying that the Englishman Lean was chosen <em>&#8220;in absence of anyone else&#8221;</em>. It&#8217;s a decision I&#8217;m sure many involved can look upon fondly, for in the many controversy-filled months that followed Lean and co. created something of extraordinary importance. <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> is based upon the novel of the same name by French writer Pierre Boulle and follows a rigid Colonel named Nicholson (played by Alec Guinness) as he and his men are forced to build a bridge while held captive. Nicholson clashes with his opposing number, the oppressive force of Colonel Saito, over the fact that officers shouldn&#8217;t be made to work. Each man takes a steadfast stance against one another, but it isn&#8217;t until the will of one eventually breaks that work can commence on the bridge and the story is allowed to unfold. I&#8217;ve always thought of <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> as two significant halves; the struggle between Nicholson and Saito sets the tone and respective stances of these two titanic characters. It also introduces Commander Shears (William Holden) whom we follow more closely in the second half, as he and a team of individuals seek to blow up the bridge for obvious advantageous purposes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss218/Jedimoonshyne9/vlcsnap-208956.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="border:0 none;" src="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss218/Jedimoonshyne9/Untitled-5.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The first half of <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> details those stubborn traits known as pride and honour. Neither man wishes to sway from his beliefs, the critical difference and deciding factor being that one man has much to lose whereas the other has nothing. This nobility that Nicholson exudes throughout the film has become synonymous with the British army and to some extent Britain as a nation. Yet the film doesn&#8217;t always portray it in the most flattering light, for Nicholson is a man seen to be almost blinded by this so-called virtue. Indeed, David Lean is said to have had many arguments with his cast over the content of the novel, content that many believed was in fact anti-British. As <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> careens into its action-packed second half we are shown another undeniable human trait, that of a more destructive nature. This quality is represented in demolitions expert Major Warden, whose lust to rain destruction down upon Nicholson&#8217;s exquisite creation is unmatched. The madness of these men ensures that the film hurtles towards a disastrous conclusion that once again brings fire to this beautifully sombre pocket of nature. We watch on, helpless, our own horror evident upon the face and within the final words of Nicholson&#8217;s right-hand man Major Clipton. <strong>The Bridge on the River Kwai</strong> is one of those timeless efforts whose position of greatness may never, ever be questioned. A film that is driven by Alec Guinness&#8217; astounding performance and irreparably etched into our own collective conscious through the stunning scenes of War that David Lean presents.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Title: Planet of the Apes Year: 1968 Director: Franklin J. Schaffner Writers: Michael Wilson &amp; R]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Title:</strong> <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063442/"><em>Planet of the Apes</em></a><br />
<strong>Year:</strong> 1968<br />
<strong>Director:</strong> Franklin J. Schaffner<br />
<strong>Writers:</strong> Michael Wilson &#38; Rod Serling, based on the novel by Pierre Boulle<br />
<strong>Starring:</strong> Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, Linda Harrison<br />
<strong>Music:</strong> Jerry Goldsmith<br />
<strong>Distinctions:</strong> currently #246 in IMDb&#8217;s Top 250<br />
<strong>Synopsis:</strong> damn dirty apes<br />
<strong>How I saw it:</strong> on video, a lot (used to have on VHS), most recently July 2008<br />
<strong>Subjective Rating:</strong> <del>8/10</del> 9/10<br />
<strong>Objective Rating:</strong> 9/10 (1 point off for special effects/design)</p>
<p>I love this stuff.  It&#8217;s the quintessential science fiction film of an era (for all the right reasons), and a damn good movie besides that.  As for the special effects/design point &#8211; I don&#8217;t care how groundbreaking the make up and costumes were at the time; they look like rubber masks to me.  There really isn&#8217;t any way to make a live action movie about talking animals look convincing, even today.   And besides having production values only slightly better than <em>Star Trek</em>, I do not understand why the Ape city is modeled after Bedrock.</p>

<p><strong>Planet of the Apes</strong><strong> (2001)</strong></p>
<p>Captain Leo Davidson, for reasons too stupid to go into, finds himself crash landing through a bizarre space storm on to a planet where apes are the dominant species and fond of quoting lines from the 1967 movie <em>Planet of the Apes</em>.</p>
<p><font size="7"><font face="Arial Black">5</font></font><font size="1">/10</font></p>
<p>Entirely non-sensical science-fiction action movie that remains curiously bland despite some of the greatest make-up ever seen and the presence of director Tim Burton. In fact, my brother hit the nail on the head when he commented that &#34;this didn&#8217;t feel like a Tim Burton film.&#34; That said, we can enjoy apes doing all sorts of fun things such as removing their wigs and false teeth (my favourite), cheating at cards, getting ready for foreplay, playing in a musical street quartet and a number of other wonderfully mundane things. In fact, the mundane normality of the ape existence is probably the best thing about the entire movie. Burton easily manages to convince us that this is a living, breathing city of apes, many of whom just go about their day to day life without affecting the plot.</p>
<p>This movie contains extreme violence, mild gore.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Ayer se inauguró el Sevilla Festival de Cine Europeo´08 con la proyección de la película <strong>Gomorra</strong>. De la película de Gomorra hablaré mañana ya que esta noche voy a verla -junto con <strong>The Wave</strong>-, aunque si sois asiduos a las noticias ya podéis observar el revuelo que se ha levantado con la película por diferentes temas que ya expondré.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">De Gomorra y The Waves hablaré mañana, ahora voy a hablar de la película que vi ayer: <strong>El puente sobre el río Kwai</strong> (<em>The Bridge on the river Kwai</em>). Me podéis decir, ¿pero si esta película ya tiene varios-muchos años? Cierto, pero es que en el Festival no sólo se ven obras nuevas, también clásicos, y este año tienen especial atención directores como David Lean o el español José Luis Borau.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 593px"><a href="http://www.cineybso.com/fotos%20articulos/festival%20sevilla%202007/cortina.jpg"><img src="http://www.cineybso.com/fotos%20articulos/festival%20sevilla%202007/cortina.jpg" alt="Cartel del festival" width="583" height="389" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cartel del festival</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Del propio David Lean es la película <strong>El puente sobre el río Kwai</strong>. Basada en la novela de <strong>Pierre Boulle</strong>, <em>Le pont de la rivière Kwai</em>, el film dura aproximadamente dos horas y cuarenta minutos, aunque se hacen relativamente cortos gracias a la historia. La trama se sitúa en el año 1943 en un campo de concentración japonés donde están presos soldados británicos, americanos, canadienese, etc. Los soldados desempeñan sus misiones cotidianas de trabajo al servicio del imperio japonés, hasta que se le encarga la elaboración de un puente sobre el río que da nombre al título de la película.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En el film podemos observar la lucha por el honor y el valor de los oficiales negándose a trabajar y siendo torturados, la jerarquía de mando, la superación personal, etc., pero hay un aspecto que es el más importante: la <strong>cordura</strong>. El general inglés encargado de construir el puente cae en una especie de &#8220;síndrome de estocolmo&#8221;. Se esmera tanto en construir el puente que no se da cuenta que está ayudando al enemigo&#8230;y ya no cuento más para no martirizar al lector que no haya visto el film -que le recomiendo encarecidamente-.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Las películas del festival son en versión original -algunas subtituladas en español-. Esta ha sido la primera que he visto este año y no me arrepiento a pesar de haberla visto ya. Y es que siempre es bonito volver a escuchar ese silbido que suena así&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/P5jwKVhwa70&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/P5jwKVhwa70&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mañana, o esta noche si tengo ganas, os cuento más. De la película de David Lean me habré dejado cosas en el tintero (muchas) pero es que todo es imposible de contarlo si se tiene prisa&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>O mundo é cheio de fatos inusitados e assuntos complexos. Um destes é o estudo sobre os macacos, considerados os animais mais inteligentes e que mais se aproximam dos seres humanos, que abre um enorme leque para diversas discussões.</p>
<p>Os primatólogos das ONGs The Nature Conservancy e Great Ape Trust observaram recentemente grupos de cinomolgos, macacos do Sudeste Asiático, considerada uma das espécies que melhor se adapta a mudanças de ambientes e alimentos, pegando pequenos peixes ao longo de rios de duas províncias da Indonésia. É uma situação considerada emocionante pelo pesquisador Erik Meijaard, co-autor de um estudo sobre os macacos pescadores na última edição da revista científica &#8220;International Journal of Primatology&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/raphaelrtw/gorilaaqutico.jpg"><img style="width:320px;" src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/raphaelrtw/gorilaaqutico.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Até então sem novidades. É comum a evolução das espécies. Mas, partindo disso, podemos questionar: Será que o autor Pierre Boulle, da obra Planeta dos Macacos, não estava prevendo algo? Será que os nossos amigos primatas irão superevoluir e um dia tomar nossos lugares? Pessoas e acontecimentos permitem-nos até mesmo questionar se eles já não chegaram até a interagir conosco, ser populares e passaram despercebidos.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blogdokaza.blogger.com.br/macaco%20jack1.JPG"><img style="width:320px;" src="http://www.blogdokaza.blogger.com.br/macaco%20jack1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Pior ainda é quando pessoas de influência e em posições de suma importância para a humanidade aumentam esta duvida agindo como se fossem animais irracionais.</p>

<p>O que nos resta é esperar e ver onde vamos parar!</p>

For one thing, Boulle was French, so strike one. And none of these stories had talking apes in them, so strike two. And the translation was somewhat inept, which isn’t really his fault, but I’m looking for a reason to discount this book entirely, so strike thr – oh shit! I beaned Pierre Boulle! Right in the temple! Is he hurt? Is he bleeding? Yeah, he’s bleeding. Well, fuck him. He shouldn’t have crowded the plate. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">8 iunie<span>  </span>2006</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">S-a tot vorbit despre arestarea teroristului lugojan Florin Lesch. Rămâne<span>   </span>deschisă chestiunea agenţilor SRI care se infiltraseră în anturajul lui Florin Lesch &#8211; tînăr altminteri paşnic până la &#8220;ziua atentatului terorist&#8221;. Cel puţin unul dintre agenţii SRI ar fi putut acţiona ca &#8216;agent provocateur&#8217;. Tactica este cunoscută de pe timpul vechii securităţi, din faza când era condusă de internaţionalişti. Episodul Florin Lesch pare să ne arate că<span>  </span>SRI-ul nu mai este controlat de patrioţi români, ci este în serviciul unor forţe din exterior. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">9 iulie 2006</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">În comentariul său<span>  </span>după arestarea primului terorist “dovedit”<span>  </span>din România, &#8211;tînărul Florin Lesch din Lugoj&#8211;, ziaristul Ion Cristoiu reînvia buna tradiţie din &#8220;Cuvinte prea încrucişate&#8221;, rubrica pe care o citeam<span>  </span>cu plăcere în &#8220;Suplimentul literar al Scânteii Tineretului&#8221;. Exista<span>  </span>o reală<span>  </span>foame de luciditate atunci &#8211; luciditate asociată foarte probabil caracterului eroic de către publicul larg. Superstiţia pseudo-religioasă încurajată de<span>  </span>popi cu o cultură minimalistă înlocuieşte acum spiritul hieratic, însă chiar<span>  </span>şi această superstiţie este doar insulară<span>  </span>în oceanul de &#8220;vulgaritate&#8221; &#8211;<span>  </span>am folosit clasificarea lui Giambattista Vico.<span>  </span>Dar există şi azi<span>  </span>o societate reală de cognoscenti, o &#8216;knowledge society&#8217; în România. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Ştiam că la &#8220;loviluţie&#8221; au fost ucişi peste o mie de oameni, că au fost arestate persoane purtătoare de arme şi bănuite de terorism, dar până la urmă nimeni nu a fost dovedit. Arestarea şi ancheta asupra lui Florin Lesch arată victoria &#8220;dublei măsuri&#8221; în exercitarea justiţiei din România de astăzi. O anchetă judiciară onestă<span>  </span>ar fi cerut şi identificarea, chiar chestionarea, acelui &#8220;agent provocateur&#8221; despre care<span>  </span>comunicatul SRI<span>  </span>sugera că el a existat. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">În analiza pe canalul de televiziune Antena 3, domnul Ion Cristoiu a încercat să identifice părţile &#8220;maşinii infernale&#8221; încropite de tînărul Florin Lesch. Îl felicit, pentru că, fără a se bucura de avantajul unei &#8220;culturi tehnice&#8221;, Ion Cristoiu identifică un &#8220;missing link&#8221; de tip «releu »<span>  </span>în comunicatul despre &#8220;evenimente&#8221; furnizat de SRI. În concluzie, şi găsind prilejul de a-şi turna cenuşă<span>  </span>pe creştet, domnul Ion Cristoiu sugerează<span>  </span>o analogie între maşina infernală prezentată<span>  </span>de SRI, şi &#8220;găina care naşte pui vii&#8221;, prezentată de cotidianul &#8220;Evenimentul zilei&#8221;.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Ca să fiu sincer, eu sînt unul dintre cei care au rămas cu impresia că Florin Lesch a fost ales<span>  </span>ca &#8220;ţap ispăşitor&#8221; pentru lunga vină a instituţiilor responsabile ale<span>  </span>statului român de a nu fi identificat după 1989 nici un terrorist (</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">dar există şi alte piste, mai veridice, care pot explica atitudinea SRI</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">). Credeţi-mă, dacă tînărul Florin Lesch va fi condamnat, credibilitatea instituţiilor statului român, cât şi ale ONG-urilor din societatea civilă<span>  </span>care apără drepturile omului,<span>  </span>nu va fi amplificată. Totuşi, totuşi, comunicatele SRI păcătuiesc prin stupiditatea de a crede că se adresează unui public românesc naiv. De altminteri, chiar în acea emisiune de la Antena 3 unde era dezbătut prima oară la modul serios cazul arestării &#8220;teroristului în şlapi&#8221; care a leşinat, domnul Mihai Gîdea dezvăluia că<span>  </span>primea pe laptop scheme mult mai realiste şi mult mai fezabile de &#8216;maşini infernale&#8217; care să arunce în aer automobilul cu butelii de aragaz al teroristului din Lugoj.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Oricum, sînt de acord cu domnul Ion Cristoiu care afirmă că la SRI există cineva, un angajat din generaţia tînără, capabil să adune oricând cioburile contradictorii<span>  </span>pentru a construi un alt comunicat coerent oferit publicului. Dar, cum sublinia Ion Cristoiu, dacă sunt de faţă<span>  </span>şi ziarişti ce adresează<span>  </span>întrebări pertinente, consistenţa comunicatului SRI<span>  </span>se sparge din nou. La drept vorbind, nu înţeleg de ce nu există o consultare a tipilor vorbăreţi din departamentul<span>  </span>Public Relations de la SRI cu tehnicienii lor interni, specializaţi în &#8220;maşini infernale&#8221;. Altminteri, vorbăreţii de la departamentul PR ai SRI se cramponează doar într-o<span>  </span>imitaţie delicioasă<span>  </span>a unui<span>  </span>text caragialesc din secolul XIX. Ar fi timpul să treacă în mod serios<span>  </span>la o lectură a eseurilor lui Paul Zarifopol, dacă vor<span>  </span>o pregătire pentru intrarea lor culturală în veacul<span>  </span>XXI. Apoi, &#8220;cultura de masă&#8221; în România<span>  </span>este încă dominată, intelectualiceşte, de cultura generaţiilor de absolvenţi ai<span>  </span>liceelor industriale organizate pentru învăţământul românesc de academicianul Mircea Maliţa. Există deci, în România, şi o cultură<span>  </span>tehnică<span>  </span>dovedită<span>  </span>realmente chiar şi în condiţii de improvizaţie, adică<span>  </span>o &#8220;cultură<span>  </span>tehnică<span>  </span>în stil european&#8221;<span>  </span>cum este aceea<span>  </span>zugrăvită<span>  </span>de Pierre Boulle în romanul &#8220;Podul de pe rîul Kwai&#8221;.<span>  </span>Cel puţin eu, fost profesor de liceu industrial, sînt gata să depun mărturie că<span>  </span>românii pot oricând să inventeze maşini funcţionale,<span>  </span>&#8211;eram uluit de ingeniozitatea elevilor mei din Craiova&#8211;, deşi unii atribuie maliţios doar oamenilor din Ardeal această<span>  </span>capabilitate. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Atunci când îşi redactează comunicatele de presă, pe orice temă,<span>  </span>funcţionarii PR merituoşi<span>  </span>de la SRI trebuie să<span>  </span>ia meticulos în consideraţie<span>  </span>faptul că există totdeauna şi un segment realmente &#8220;connoisseur&#8221; al publicului românesc. </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">30 august 2006</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Avem din nou un comunicat SRI despre tînărul Florin Lesch, teroristul prezumtiv arestat preventiv de această eficientă organizaţie. Ni se prezintă şi dovezi iconice. Bănuiesc că SRI are ca ţintă pentru comunicatele de presă doar persoane excesiv de credule,<span>  </span>ori “guguştiucii şi fătucile” care lucrează în presă,<span>  </span>am citat din autorul Ion Cristoiu. Problema mea de înţelegere este aceea că dacă se vorbeşte despre<span>  </span>terorişti, trebuie neapărat prezentat binomul ‘Omul şi Organizaţia’. De exemplu<span>  </span>‘Bin Laden şi<span>  </span>Al Qaida’. Oricât de atent aş privi, nu reuşesc să văd altă organizaţie ce se ascunde în umbra lui Florin Lesch, în afară de SRI.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">18 septembrie 2006</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Prelungirea arestării “primului terorist dovedit” din România nu rezolvă nimic pentru SRI. Este adevărat, organizaţia SRI<span>  </span>e condusă actualmente de un interimar. Dar viitorul “şef suprem” de la SRI va trebui să<span>  </span>rezolve în primul rînd cazul “teroristului” Florin Lesch din Lugoj. Am mai scris despre Florin Lesch. Insistăm pe tema aceasta, doar pentru că nu îl cheamă Florin Leş. Ceea ce l -ar fi transformat automat în român de baştină, un român aborigen care poate<span>  </span>să<span>  </span>fie stârpit. Ca la 1907. Dar grafia numelui Lesch sugerează<span>  </span>o ascendenţă<span>  </span>a sa în Imperiul austro- ungar. De altminteri<span>  </span>Florin Lesch afirmă<span>  </span>că<span>  </span>este moştenitorul averii unui strămoş Lesch.<span>  </span>Avere pe care o cere restituită de către statul român. Cred că tînărul Florin Lesch are tot dreptul la apărare. Şi are tot dreptul la instituţii inteligente ale statului român. Tinerii slujbaşi de la SRI sunt vital interesaţi de rezolvarea foarte corectă a cazului<span>  </span>Florin Lesch, numai aceasta acreditează (sau nu)<span>  </span>şcoala SRI ca instituţie universitară. Afirmaţia comunicatelor oficiale ale SRI privind apartenenţa lui Florin Lesch<span>  </span>la ‘structuri teroriste islamice’ este foarte « vagă », ca să folosim un eufemism. La nivelul conferit de posesia unor studii<span>  </span>universitare autentice, nu poţi să vorbeşti numai despre « structură », ci despre « structură şi organizaţie»,<span>   </span>într -un binom ierarhic. Studiile de la şcoala SRI pe această temă nu pleacă oare<span>  </span>de la<span>  </span>marele Émile Durkheim ? Nu recurg oare la ideile despre cultura organizaţională<span>  </span>ale lui Michael Thompson*? Care el însuşi s -a format pornind cu impetus<span>  </span>din structura unei organizaţii având caracter militar. Tinerii angajaţi actuali de la SRI trebuie să<span>  </span>înţeleagă că<span>  </span>este în joc aici<span>  </span>nu destinul individului Florin Lesch, ci<span>  </span>atestarea de seriozitate a şcolii universitare SRI (oficial se numeşte Academia Naţională de Informaţii).</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">11 iunie 2007</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">În intrarea precedentă adresam întrebarea retorică </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">: “Studiile de la şcoala SRI nu pleacă oare<span>  </span>de la<span>  </span>marele Émile Durkheim ?”. A fost o premoniţie ? Căci una dintre cărţile fundamentale scrise de Émile Durkheim (1858-1917)<span>  </span>era intitulată : “Le suicide. Étude de sociologie “. Mass media ne transmit ştirea despre<span>  </span>un ofiţer de informaţii care s- a sinucis </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">în </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">incinta Academiei SRI.<span>  </span><em>“Conducerea SRI a dispus o ancheta interna la ANI pentru a stabili cum de un astfel de incident s-a putut intampla<span>  </span>in cadrul SRI, cunoscut fiind faptul ca pentru a putea accede in randurile ofiterilor de informatii, candidatii sunt supusi unor teste psihologice foarte dure.”,</em> aflăm dintr- un articol publicat de ziarul<span>  </span>Gardianul. Sancta Simplicitas , nici măcar jurnaliştii de la Gardianul nu l- au citit pe Émile Durkheim ! Ac</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">est cugetător este ignorat nu doar la </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Academia Naţională de Informaţii, ci şi la la facult</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">ăţile </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><span> </span>de jurnalistică din România. Bineînţeles, în condiţiile economiei de piaţă există acum la noi un mare număr de specialişti bine calificaţi în psihologie hedonică. Dar nu<span>  </span>prea cred eu că Academia Naţională de Informaţii are şi un foarte bun specialist în psihologie abisală. Pentru că aşa ceva s- ar cere la şcoala SRI.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">În cultura organizaţională<span>  </span>de azi există interesul de a cunoaşte şi de a defini individul în<span>  </span>raport cu triada de termeni : (i) Grup + (ii) Grilă de comandă + (iii) Reţea, adică suma conceptuală agregată <span> </span>(group + grid + network). Termenul Grup (‚Group’), în<span>  </span>interpretarea propusă de sociologul Émile<span>  </span>Durkheim, caracterizează tipul de solidaritate la care aderă individul. Metafora pentru Grilă (&#8216;Grid&#8217;), aşa cum este termenul Grilă folosit aici, poate fi<span>  </span>„electrodul de control” dintr -o clasică triodă cu vid.<span>  </span>Grila înseamnă circumscrierea alegerilor individului de forţele societale externe lui. Cu cât este mai intens controlul de grilă, cu atât indivizii sunt mai „ţinuţi în lanţ”.<span>  </span>Cu cât este de o intensitate mai scăzută<span>  </span>controlul de grilă, cu atât indivizii pot să îşi negocieze relaţiile. Cât despre sursa de valoare adăugată pentru individ, şi aici nu vorbim despre sensul monetarist al termenului,<span>  </span>aceasta o constituie<span>  </span>reţeaua personală (network) pe care individul reuşeşte să o creeze.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">Tipologiile de clasificare a indivizilor<span>  </span>caracterizaţi prin triada criteriilor : <span>  </span>(i) Grup + (ii) Grilă de comandă + (iii) Reţea, <span> </span>sunt ordonate după arhetipuri culturale. Psihologia abisală reprezintă domeniul ştiinţific având înscrisă exhaustiv pe agenda sa taxonomică toate<span>  </span>arhetipurile culturale. În opinii exprimate public de autorităţi </span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">încep</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">â</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">nd cu a</span><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">dministratorii de la World Bank şi terminând cu teoreticianul culturii lucrative Clotaire Rapaille, găsim suficiente argumente care sprijină utilitatea arhetipurilor culturale<span>  </span>şi a Psihologiei abisale. Vorbim despre Psihologie abisală<span>  </span>în contextul intervenţiilor arhetipurilor culturale în <span> </span>elaborarea deciziilor politice<span>  </span>şi a deciziilor<span>  </span>manageriale.

Deci a fost un ‘proces de intenţie’. ‘Tânărul se afla sub supravegherea Serviciului Român de Informaţii de mai mult timp. Acesta a trimis mesaje de ameninţare’ –se mai prezentau motivaţii. Nu a fost ‘supraveghere’. A fost ‘provocare’ şi ‘instigare’. Faptul că a existat un ‘agent provocateur’ de la SRI a fost oficial recunoscut. Este o zi neagră pentru România şi spiritul dreptăţii. Este o zi care anunţă<span>  </span>un viitor sumbru pentru toţi cetăţenii României. Condamnarea lui Florin Ioan Lesch ne spune limpede că nu avem dreptul la instituţii şi instanţe inteligente în România. Şi niciunde în lume.</span></p>
