Brief Encounter, a romantic Drama was directed by David Lean and has been rated as an average weighted movie. The movie was premiered in UK on 26th November in 1945 and released in the USA on 24th August 1946. A special screening of the movie was done at the Cannes Film Festival in September 1946

Brief Encounter was also screened at the UK Film Festival on January 9th 2004 that was held at Hong Kong. Brief Encounter (1945) revolves around the meeting of Laura Jesson with Doctor Alec Harvey at a cafй at a railway station. The story moves further with the culmination of an amorous relationship between Laura Jessen and Alec Harvey. What lies strange in the normal course of events is that both of them fall for each other at that very day itself even after being married previously. They fix up a day to meet each other and accordingly meet every Thursday at that particular small cafй at the railway station. But it appears to them that being in love is just not possible for them. Brief Encounter may realistically appear as an artifact of the most recent times. In the colonial days the legacy or the British custom to maintain faithfulness as most keenly felt. David Lean’s fourth film Brief encounter remains a study of true love or rather the promise of being in to the relation of love itself. The aching desire for an intimacy with the beloved ones often tends to be subdued by the obligations that one has to fulfill after getting married to someone.

The ordinary Londoners Alec and Laura meet by chance at a small cafй at the railway station, through quite a romantic disposition. Alec tries to remove a fleck of ash from Laura’s eye. Thus begins the feeling of love between the commoners due to the brief encounter. The meetings at the small cafй at the railway station leads to the growth of their casual attraction. They engage in quiet conversation and longing expressions that result in to a desperate recognition of mutual love and admiration. The 85-minute film turns in to a bracing study of romantic suspense that often turns into outbursts of paranoid outbursts. The romantic movies often turn into a spy thriller, where the help of the brief encounters between Laura and Alec consummates the brief encounter. A unique presentation in terms of story, the Brief Encounter, vividly describes the various emotions of love itself. The cast comprises of Laura Jesson as Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard as Dr. Alec Harvey, and Stanley Holloway as Albert Godby besides Joyce Carey as Myrtle Bagot and more. The Black and White movie had locations at Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire and England in United Kingdom. Imdb

Fargo

Fargo is a movie that is based on a true incident that had taken place in the region of Minnesota The directors of the film Joel and Ethan Coen portrayed events in the film that where actually true. In the same time they had taken a lot of artistic independence in order to give the film a more comprehensive and complete look. Fargo’s main cast and characters included a host of stars

Fargo is based on the true story of a car salesman who stages his wife’s kidnapping in order to extract money from his rich father in law. However things go completely out of order when the small time criminals that are engaged for the crime make big mistakes and turn everything upside down with unwanted deaths and murders. Jerry the car salesman delves deep into the world of crime and intrigue when Carl and Gaear who have been enrolled with the help of the anti-social Shep Proudfoot.

Wade too is killed and so is Jean.The situation gets so bloody that the two criminals do not spare themselves Carl being killed Gaear in cold blood after being shot at on the face. The film had earned itself a number of awards as well as a lot of critical acclaim. It has over the years become one of the very well known movies of all times. In fact some scenes in the movie have come into common parlance and have influenced a lot of spin offs. For instance the scene where Gaear is putting Carl’s lifeless body into the wood chipper has been parodied a number of times. Joel Coen won the best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival for this film and also the BAFTA awards for his direction. Fargo also won the best film award in the New York Film Critics Circle. Its screenplay co-written by Joel & Ethan Coen won the Writers Guild of America Award. Last but not the least Fargo won two Oscars for its screenplay and Best Actress. Frances McDormand deservedly won the honors by playing the honest police officer who strives to do her duty and do it well. The fact that she is seven months pregnant does not deter her from pursuing criminals since she is possibly the only one who figures out a connection between the murders and pursues leads till she finds the criminal Gaear and takes him into custody.

Bride of Frankenstein

Bride of Frankenstein is a 1935 movie of the horror genre, which was based on the concept of the monster asking for a partner in the second part of Mary Shelley’s famous novel “Frankenstein” that has spawned numerous debates and film adaptations. The novel “Frankenstein” was based on a revolutionary concept of creation of life by human efforts

The revolutionary novel was in fact influenced by many alchemical and scientific experiments that had been taking place during that time. Mary Shelley’s novel became an instant success and sparked a lot of debate and discussions on man’s taking over God’s work that is giving birth to new life. This was made into a film in 1931 called “Frankenstein’’, which became very successful commercially. Seeing its commercial success the creators of the film thought of a sequel to the successful venture. The film Bride Of Frankestein, continues the tale of Doctor Henry Frankenstein who had created the monster but now wants to lead a peaceful married life with his bride however the mad scientist who is also his mentor has other plans for him. Dr. Septimus as he is called, wants to include Frankenstein in his dastardly plans of taking control of God’s work by creating mini creatures that are almost like humans.
The monster who had been created by Dr Frankenstein and then abandoned by him in the previous film is portrayed as making friends with a violinist who cannot see. This kind old man helps the monster to learn to speak and communicate with others. Later on the monster accidentally meets the mad scientist and is persuaded by the man to scheme against his creator who had so unkindly abandoned him. Together they are able to kidnap Frankenstein’s bride and force him to create a mate for the monster too a task which he was vehemently against. However once another female monster is created she rejects the monster. At the end of the film the monster in his rage demolishes the lab lets his creator and his would be wife go. And then kills himself along with all the evil elements thus aiding in establishing peace in the world at large. This film was then followed by another of its kind “The son of Frankenstein” and thus proved to be a long running franchise for the creators. Director James Whale and writer John L. Balderston wanted to create a film that would surpass the past glory of the financially successful first venture “Frankenstein” which had been stylistically cruder version, which was made on a much lower budget. In Bride Of Frankestein, according to Trivia Doctor Frankenstein is seen mostly seated throughout the film. The reason was that his leg had been severely harmed in an accident during the shoot. The special effect employed still impresses the technicians of the present age. Wikipedia

Children of Men had its worldwide release in the year 2007, and were considered as one of the most exciting and positive science-fiction movies of all times. Dealing with the concept of hope, faith and redemption of humanity from total destruction the film has a powerful story not seen in many science-fiction flicks

Adapted from P.D James novel the film chronicles the journey of the protagonist Theo played by Clive Owen in search of deliverance from suffering and annihilation. The backdrop of the film is the futuristic year 2027, when all humanity is due to be extinct by the next hundred years. There is no hope for survival since this scheme of things has increased the activities of terror and destruction. Mankind’s only hope is the ambitious Human Project that is working round the clock in order to save mankind from permanent destruction. In this topsy tervy world a ray of hope is introduced with the news that a pregnant West African refugee named Kee has surfaced. The film then goes on to portray how she is delivered into safe hands. The theme of infertility portrayed in the film is not explained very well. It may be considered to be a symbol of the rapid decline of mankind or can be taken as divine judgment on humankind. Theo Faron played by Clive Owen is the archetype of general mankind who is unsure about what would happen in the future and has not been treated well by life with his only son dying of a dangerous flu, and his being estranged from his only wife Julian played by Julianne Moore. However destiny makes them meet again and they are thrown together in order to deliver the pregnant mother Kee from the refugee camp of which Julian is in charge. The film ends with Julian and Theo killed however Kee safely delivered to Human Project ship rightfully called Tomorrow .
The film explores the consequences of a world that is bent on destruction and the loss of hope and faith. Children of Men was considered to be an extension of the director’s previous project Y tu mam’a tambie’n, which is also based on the theme of a journey that is undertaken by two young kids and a woman. The title Children of Men is also a reflection of the phrase from the Bible “Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.” According to the director Alfonso Cuar’on he did not want to take overt Christian symbolism in the film but he wanted to be an underlying theme. The film gathered many awards in the sector of cinematography and camera work that had given it a new look and feel. Wikipedia

Directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Esterhas the movie has had cult following from the day of its release making its stars Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas instant celebrities increasing their fame and fortune manifolds

Basic Instinct was conceived as a crime erotic thriller that would charge the audiences and give them the adrenaline rush that they were looking for. The story line follows an investigation into mysterious deaths of individuals and the prime suspect is the sexy, over the top novelist of crime thrillers Catherine Trummel. Nick Curran the investigating officer of the case is first attracted and then sucked into a sexual affair with the main suspect.

One of the very famous scenes in the movie that has become iconic is the Interrogation scene. Sharon Stone then an unknown face in Hollywood was selected for the role after surpassing other actors like Julia Roberts, Geena Davis and Kim Basinger who had done an almost similar role in another film called “The Avengers”.
In this particular scene Catherine Trummel is being interrogated by the investigating officer, but surprisingly the interrogators are more nervous then the individual getting interrogated. And then comes the infamous and now iconic crossing and uncrossing of legs. This reveals to the interrogators that she is without underwear making them more embarrassed and nervous in front of her and she apparently enjoying their discomfiture. The film was nominated for two Oscar awards. Sharon Stone was nominated in the category of Best Actress in the Golden Globe Awards. A second Golden Globe nomination was given to Frank Urioste for his film editing. Goldsmith also got several accolades for the original score of the movie.

The film according to some gay rights activists negatively depicted gays and bisexuals portraying them as self-seeking, psychologically weak individuals. However there were also some other well-known voices that approved of the movie and supported it. Though it became hugely popular for the theatre audience, the film was also criticized for its high sexual content and depiction of violence. According to trivia the sex scene between Catherine and Nick that took place in Catherine’s house took an entire week to shoot. Michael Douglas was arguably unhappy with his dialogues. He believed that all the focus was centered on Sharon Stone in every scene. Wikipedia

A Ha

A-ha or, more correctly, a-ha is a Norwegian band who were most popular in the UK and the USA during the 1980s, but continued to be globally successful in the 1990s and 2000s. The trio, composed of lead vocalist Morten Harket, guitarist Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (known as PÃ¥l Waaktaar until 1994) and keyboardist Magne Furuholmen, formed in 1982 and left Norway for London in order to make a career in the music business.

A Ha speaks of the origin of a-ha. The origin of the name a-ha comes from the title of an early song (The Juicyfruit Song). After checking dictionaries in several languages, they found out that "a-ha" was an international way of expressing recognition, with positive connotations. It was short, easy to say and unusual also. A Ha tells about Marten Harket. A-ha lead singer, Morten Harket is responsible for the 80's "ripped jeans" fashion trend. He was rushing to the stage in a 1985 performance where he ran past an amplifier and accidentally tore his jeans on the edge. He later expresses his unmindfulness and told that he had not seen that. And the rest is history.He later used razor blades to achieve the same effect, as did many other bands that followed. A Ha explores the net blast of the band. A-ha on the net in 2001 from Valhall in Oslo Norway, was the 3rd most viewed webcast concert ever as 3.6 million hits were recorded, 500,000 with an average viewing time of 28 minutes. The average viewing time was the longest for a webcast concert. Only webcasts by Madonna and Paul McCartney recorded more hits. The webcast was made possible in connection with msn, Mercedes Benz and Accenture.

History

The song "Take On Me" was the first thing Morten Harket heard Magne Furuholmen and Paul Waaktaar-Savoy play. At that time the song was called "Lesson One." After multiple re-recordings and two failed releases, "Take On Me" became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1985. The first release of the song in 1984 only sold 300 copies, but after a rework with producer Alan Tarney a year later, it sold 1.5 million copies worldwide in one month. Wikipedia

A F Records

A-F Records is an independent record label originated by the band Anti-Flag, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. This label was created to help expose more political punk rock bands to a greater audience. They have formerly been distributed on Mordam, but moved to RedEye when Mordam was bought by Lumberjack in early 2006

A F Records reveals some close talk on independent record label. An independent record label is variously described as a record label operating without the funding or outside the organizations of the major record labels. It typicaly has indie philosophies such as DIY and anti-corporatism. The boundaries between major and independent labels, and the definitions of each, differ from commentator to commentator. In practice, however the traditional definition of a 'major' record label is one that owns its own distribution channel. Some independent record labels, in particular those with successful performing artists, sign dual-release agreements (and make other deals) with major labels and may rely to some extent on international licensing deals, distribution agreements, and other arrangements with major record labels.

A F Records talks details about Anti-flag. Anti-Flag is a political punk rock band from Pittsburgh, which has existed in various forms since 1988. Despite relatively modest beginnings and a back catalogue off of independent labels, the band has risen to steady popularity, having performed tours on four continents and signed to a major label. The band is perhaps best known for their political lyrics. A F Records In deals with the current list of bands. The current list of bands on A-F Records are: The Code, Destruction Made Simple , Endless Struggle, Inhuman, Intro5pect, Justin Sane, The Methadones, Modey Lemon, Much The Same, New Mexican Disaster Squad, Pipedown, Red Lights Flash ,Tabula Rasa, Thought Riotm , The Unseen, The Vaccancy, Virus Nine, and Whatever It Takes.

History

Independent labels have existed for almost as long as there has been a market for recorded music. Even as the music industry has become more centralised, independent labels have continued to be a significant, if small, part of the overall market. In a number of cases, independent labels have assembled rosters of recording artists that rival those of the majors. The 1960s and 1980s are regarded as having been particularly fruitful periods for independent labels. Independent labels are no longer simply business entities. Wikipedia
