Hello and welcome to the show. We are live. If you want to get in

0:00:210:00:27

touch, details are on the screen. Coming up tonight...

0:00:270:00:32

Childish behaviour runs wild in Roman Polanski's Carnage. Oh my

0:00:320:00:38

God! Do something! Show actual mouth. Charlize Theron just won't

0:00:380:00:43

grow up in Young Adult. We are meant to be together and I'm here

0:00:430:00:48

to get him back. And Elizabeth Bolsun is breaking down in Martha,

0:00:480:00:58
0:00:580:00:59

Marcy, May, Malene. -- Elizabeth Plus, find out why Kermit is doing

0:00:590:01:07

this. It is just to jump to the left. If I do any more I have to

0:01:070:01:09

pay royalties. When he and Miss piggy answer our questionnaire

0:01:090:01:15

later. First tonight, Carnage directed by Roman Polanski and

0:01:150:01:19

based on the play God of Carnage. It stars Jodie Foster and Kate

0:01:190:01:26

Winslet. Following the dispute in Brooklyn Bridge Park, she struck a

0:01:260:01:35

Lawson in the face. Armed. What else can we say? Carrying a stick?

0:01:350:01:42

It is my son's he was hit in the mouth. The parents decide let's be

0:01:420:01:46

civilised, let's get together and discuss what happened. Thank you.

0:01:460:01:50

There is no reason for us to thank each other. Some of us still have a

0:01:500:01:55

sense of community. They are in a very polite suburb and you would

0:01:550:02:00

think they get on well. Do you know what they would argue about?

0:02:000:02:04

would not let him be part of his gang. Did you know he had a gang?

0:02:040:02:09

No, but I'm thrilled to hear it. For the first third of the story is

0:02:090:02:12

very polite and everybody's trying to present the best version of

0:02:120:02:19

themselves. It is a little recipe of mind. Apple and pear. It is new

0:02:190:02:27

to me. It is a classic. And then one thing leads to another and

0:02:270:02:31

needless to say the gloves come off. Your son is a maniac. He is not a

0:02:310:02:37

maniac. Yes, he is. Why are you saying that? He is a maniac.

0:02:370:02:45

starts gaining momentum. Enough with the cell phone already. The

0:02:450:02:48

victim and the criminal are not the same. As you think my son is a

0:02:480:02:53

snitch? I don't think anything. don't say anything. Foretell breaks

0:02:540:02:57

loose and it becomes nothing to do with the boys and their fight, but

0:02:570:03:01

entirely to do with these two different marriages and the cracks

0:03:010:03:11
0:03:110:03:13

Oh my God. Way to go! It is a comedy of people's manners and how

0:03:130:03:17

they lose them. You had better watch it. He will be on the edge.

0:03:170:03:22

She's horrible. We were nice to you. If we bought tulips. My wife

0:03:220:03:27

dressed me as a liberal. something! Shut your mouth.

0:03:270:03:32

there's a moral to the story, it's that adults can be more childish

0:03:320:03:38

than children. This is what I think. I think I'm going to vomit again.

0:03:380:03:44

brilliant line. It is interesting, there's a lot of cuddly movies at

0:03:440:03:49

the moment in cinemas. The artist, the descendants, warhorse. Pretty

0:03:490:03:54

much everything on show tonight has a slightly different tone. We will

0:03:540:03:59

get roaring with Carnage, which has a pint glass of vinegar. You have

0:03:590:04:02

these two well-to-do couples and Manhattan who meet up to talk about

0:04:020:04:06

their children. They progress very quickly to tearing each other limb

0:04:060:04:12

from limb verbally. It is often incredibly funny. The dialogue is

0:04:120:04:15

scalpel sharp. Although it is originally a French play set in

0:04:150:04:20

America, for British audiences, there will be moments when you will

0:04:200:04:24

be heaving with laughter. My reservation is that the play, there

0:04:240:04:30

are pretences in the play. This talked about something more grand,

0:04:300:04:33

controversial things about human nature. It doesn't really do that.

0:04:330:04:37

You just have a lot of people saying expertly unpleasant things

0:04:370:04:40

to each other, which is funny but you feel bad for laughing because

0:04:400:04:44

you are realise you are watching for middle-class equivalent of a

0:04:440:04:52

fight in a car-park. They are ghastly, absolutely ghastly. It

0:04:520:04:56

takes umbrella parenting to the next level. I saw the play and it

0:04:560:05:03

was absolutely brilliant. More claustrophobic on the stage. I

0:05:030:05:07

loved this, although it is that a brilliant week for films. You have

0:05:070:05:10

to use laugh carefully because on about a really love something and

0:05:100:05:18

then love something but -- spectacularly. It is so contrived

0:05:180:05:23

because it is a film of the play. At one point Kate Winslet and

0:05:230:05:31

Christoph Waltz... I was shouting, get out! Just run! I do think it is

0:05:310:05:35

a brilliant master class in performances. It has a real

0:05:350:05:39

ensemble piece. It is beautiful to watch, not one of them is better

0:05:400:05:44

than the other, they are all good. Kate Winslet might just enjoy it

0:05:440:05:49

because she has the best scene. -- inch it. The whole thing is very

0:05:490:05:53

theatrical. You can do a couple of things when you're adapting a play.

0:05:540:05:58

You can turn him into a massive cinematic spectacle or you can do

0:05:580:06:03

what Roman Polanski has done which his film the play. In terms of the

0:06:030:06:07

performances, it is very theatrical. You can pick up your favourites,

0:06:070:06:11

but it is about the ensemble. It has a good night out at the theatre

0:06:120:06:15

at the cinema. I don't have a problem with that. It is a

0:06:150:06:18

freakishly good week for films and there are films we are going to

0:06:180:06:21

talk about which linger in the mind and a difficult to get out of your

0:06:210:06:25

head. The thing about Carnage, there's one joke and it is a really

0:06:250:06:29

funny joke, but once you've heard it, you've heard it and then it's

0:06:290:06:32

gone. There are other films that have possibly slightly more to

0:06:320:06:38

offer, but it is very, very funny. Next, Jason Reitman reunites with

0:06:390:06:42

by a blow Cody for Young Adult and it stars Charlize Theron. -- Diablo

0:06:420:06:47

Cody. What are you doing backwards might have you moved back? To of

0:06:470:06:55

course not, grows. She is a ghost writer for a Young Adult series.

0:06:550:07:04

She comes from a small town. She gets sent an e-mail. She gets an

0:07:040:07:10

announcement of our unnamed child. Our little girl. She finds this out

0:07:100:07:15

and then hatches a plan to come back and still me away. Body and I

0:07:150:07:19

are meant to be together. I'm here to get him back. I'm pretty sure he

0:07:190:07:24

is married with a kid on the way. I've got baggage, too. Keep all of

0:07:240:07:30

this to yourself. I would find a therapist. She gets incredibly

0:07:300:07:36

obsessive about this idea that he might be stuck in unhappiness.

0:07:370:07:43

Psychotic. And she will be the one that will repay him from that

0:07:430:07:47

unhappiness and give him the happiness he deserves. I am going

0:07:470:07:51

to a rock concert. I think there's a chance we may reconnect. Let's

0:07:510:07:58

show him what he's been missing. has seen me recently, he knows. But

0:07:580:08:04

his wife haven't seen me in a while. We all know somebody who seems like

0:08:040:08:09

they are stuck in a certain time in their life and they can't get past

0:08:090:08:12

it. They are still obsessing over mistakes they might have made for

0:08:120:08:17

people they might have let go. kid -- you kids was so cute in high

0:08:170:08:21

school. Funny how those initial instincts can be so right. You may

0:08:210:08:24

call these mistakes along the way, but the world will make sure you

0:08:240:08:28

end up with the person you're meant to be with. I wanted to make you

0:08:280:08:32

laugh -- Young Adult for many reasons, mainly because I love

0:08:320:08:37

Diablo. She is great at creating characters who have mixed

0:08:370:08:41

intentions and yet she Najet -- never judges them. You can come to

0:08:410:08:48

the City with me. I'm a married man. We can beat this thing together.

0:08:480:08:58
0:08:580:09:02

you could open at a little more. No... Yes, that's perfect. Hey!

0:09:020:09:10

are you? Is that book for your niece. Yes, thanks for remembering.

0:09:100:09:14

I'll send it to her. There's a character in that one that is based

0:09:140:09:20

on you. What? In the book. I named him Ashby but it's so blatantly you.

0:09:200:09:25

It will be obvious. We are not supposed to do that, was a poster...

0:09:250:09:35
0:09:350:09:40

Hey! Nice to see you again. You too. There were tears. Adorable. --

0:09:400:09:48

there it is. It is so brilliant. I'm going to be very, very boring.

0:09:480:09:53

Very late at night, everyone to sleep. Films that have been

0:09:530:09:58

overlooked by the Oscars. Charlize Theron is so brilliant in this film.

0:09:580:10:03

This film is fabulous. Diablo Cody wrote Juno, she won an Oscar for

0:10:030:10:12

this. This is better. It is smart and darker. Charlize Theron... We

0:10:120:10:18

are like best friends! She's amazing. She is absolutely

0:10:180:10:22

brilliant in this because she just gives you a little peek into how

0:10:220:10:27

tragic and how unwell and how unhinged her character is. She

0:10:270:10:31

doesn't behave like any other woman you ever see at the movies. The

0:10:310:10:37

supporting cast are fantastic. My favourite thing is the end. It is

0:10:370:10:41

the most anti- Hollywood thing. Maybe that is why it has been

0:10:410:10:46

overlooked. There's not a lot of learning. It's true. The film is

0:10:460:10:49

written by Diablo Cody and her voice is all over it. She made a

0:10:490:10:54

big name for herself with Juno. Juno brought me out in hives. I've

0:10:540:11:00

been dreading her work ever since. Young Adult, I'm ready to declare

0:11:000:11:05

it as genius. It is very different from Juno. There are similarities

0:11:050:11:09

in that there's a lot of obscure indie rock references. It's very

0:11:090:11:11

different from pretty much everything which comes out of

0:11:110:11:16

Hollywood. In a parallel reality, there's a sweet and fluffy wrong,

0:11:160:11:20

where the city girl goes back to her hometown and meets her ex-

0:11:200:11:23

boyfriend and reconnect. But here he is happily married with a new

0:11:230:11:30

baby and she is borderline psychotic. No learning is

0:11:300:11:35

absolutely the think it reminded me off. It made me think of Seinfeld,

0:11:350:11:41

which made me think no hugging, no learning. In the middle of it, you

0:11:410:11:47

have this incredible creation, Mavis, and she is the girl in high

0:11:470:11:50

ski -- high-school movies, the prom queen girl who gets her comeuppance

0:11:500:11:54

at the end. She doesn't get her comeuppance in this. She is a piece

0:11:540:11:59

of work and this is a piece of work. I can't recommend it enough. It

0:11:590:12:03

makes me feel very special that I was so on call at school. You're

0:12:030:12:10

right. I was incredibly popular! I pick up your point about Charlize

0:12:100:12:14

Theron. It is nuts that she hasn't got an Oscar nomination. She won an

0:12:140:12:20

Oscar a while ago for playing a serial killer in Monster. This is a

0:12:200:12:24

better performers because she hasn't got anything physical. There

0:12:240:12:28

she transformed herself. This is just Charlize Theron. Without

0:12:280:12:33

giving anything away, it never copped out. A fantastic ending and

0:12:330:12:36

the other interesting thing is I like this film more and more the

0:12:360:12:40

more I think about it. It is a brilliant, brilliant film. This

0:12:410:12:44

year it is the 200th but they have Charles Dickens and to mark that

0:12:440:12:51

occasion, Antonio for Countdown her favourite Dickens moment.

0:12:510:12:54

Charles Dickens stories have been adapted for the screen more than

0:12:540:12:58

any other writers. Many stories were serialised and beautifully

0:12:580:13:02

illustrated and act as virtual storyboards for the film-maker.

0:13:020:13:09

Here are my top five dickens moments. No. 5, Oliver. Dickens was

0:13:090:13:13

famously a magnificent reader of his own work and he travelled the

0:13:130:13:16

world thrilling audiences. Towards the end of his life he took to

0:13:160:13:20

reading Nancy's death scene from Oliver Twist and the sheer

0:13:200:13:23

intensity and drama of it often meant he had to be carried from the

0:13:230:13:28

stage afterwards. In fact, he died soon after such a reading in 1870.

0:13:280:13:33

This moment from the 1968 musical adaptation put the fear of God into

0:13:330:13:38

me as a kid. Sweet Nancy's double murder at the hands of literature's

0:13:380:13:42

greatest Boogie man, Bill Sikes, played by Oliver Reed, it just

0:13:420:13:52
0:13:520:14:07

feels like the worst thing It is the moment that kill Charles

0:14:070:14:13

Dickens himself. And then David Copperfield. When he was 12,

0:14:140:14:18

Charles Dickens was sent to work in a factory and retains enormous

0:14:180:14:24

sympathy for the poor child. This moment from an early, silent movie

0:14:240:14:31

from David Copperfield catchers the isolation of the Victorian urchins.

0:14:310:14:39

This was filmed only 60 years after the book was written.

0:14:390:14:44

Scrooge. Let's not forget Dickens was brilliant at capturing

0:14:440:14:49

happiness. I thought this scene from the unbeatable 1951 adaptation

0:14:490:14:55

of A Christmas Carol, where Scrooge was taken up to a knees-up to his

0:14:550:15:00

old employers, looks like the best time a person can have. I have

0:15:000:15:10
0:15:100:15:15

always wanted to be at this party. Was there ever a kinder man?

0:15:150:15:22

A tale of two cities. This 1958 adaptation is perfection. You can

0:15:220:15:27

pick any scene. I love the opening credits. Was there anything more

0:15:270:15:35

romantic? The movie starts Dirk Bogarde who was thought too much of

0:15:350:15:42

a lightweight in the role of the disillusioned young barrister. But

0:15:420:15:45

you can see hints of the deep melancholy he brought to his

0:15:450:15:55
0:15:550:15:55

greatest role in Death in Venice. The dream always ends in nothing.

0:15:550:16:05
0:16:050:16:06

But a beautiful dream. You have inspired it. Have I know power of

0:16:060:16:16
0:16:160:16:18

review at all? Keep my secret. Great expectations. The opening

0:16:180:16:23

page of this is the best in literature. The opening scene at

0:16:230:16:33
0:16:330:16:35

this immaculate adaptation is every bit as good. It is as though both

0:16:350:16:45
0:16:450:16:47

Dickens and the actor are saying, anything might happen.

0:16:470:16:54

SCREAMING. Keep still your little devil.

0:16:540:17:00

This man says, my daughter's teacher introduced her class to

0:17:000:17:06

Dickens by showing them a market Christmas Carol.

0:17:060:17:11

This says, Elizabeth Olsen coming to terms with her former life as a

0:17:110:17:15

member of a cult. Do you have the feeling if you

0:17:150:17:19

cannot tell if something is a memory or something you have

0:17:190:17:29
0:17:290:17:30

dreamed? You look like Amos C made. It is about internal struggle with

0:17:300:17:36

identity, who took Trust and how to find yourself. Who you identify

0:17:360:17:43

yourself with within a group. you like it here? It is great.

0:17:430:17:47

People have a band in New York whole life. You can be saved here,

0:17:470:17:54

I hope you do. But if you are going to live here, you need to be a part

0:17:540:17:59

of things. When she leaves them, she does not belong in her blood

0:17:590:18:08

family. The question is, what is your place in the world. Did she

0:18:080:18:18
0:18:180:18:21

find more love in the community? It is an interesting question. CT. How

0:18:220:18:30

far are we? From what? Yesterday. It is about everything that happens

0:18:300:18:37

in the Lake House. Sometimes I think I should have come home and

0:18:370:18:43

made sure you went to college. don't need your guidance now. I am

0:18:430:18:48

a teacher and a leader, you just never let me be that. But I know

0:18:480:18:56

who I am. Eight teacher and a leader? What are you talking about?

0:18:560:19:03

I would describe it as a sort of paranoia. Someone struggling with

0:19:030:19:06

controlling their thoughts and their mind and their actions. As an

0:19:060:19:13

actor, that is what is most fun, not knowing at what point she was

0:19:130:19:20

going to break. We have to leave. We all have to leave, I know him.

0:19:200:19:28

You don't want to live with this. It is almost like a war against

0:19:280:19:33

someone that is not tangible for something outside of herself, it is

0:19:330:19:42

not tangible. You are not listening to me! Mathur, what happened to

0:19:420:19:50

you? Every year, but there are a few

0:19:500:19:55

movies which remind me why I fell in love us with films in the first

0:19:550:20:00

place. This is one of them. It is spellbinding. Psychological

0:20:000:20:03

thriller is possibly one of the most off-putting terms in cinema.

0:20:040:20:10

But this is a psychological thriller in the best sense. It is

0:20:100:20:15

about what is real and what isn't. You often lose track of that. You

0:20:150:20:19

have her in this rural group and then this luxurious Lake House that

0:20:200:20:24

they escape from. Physically, they look different. But after a while,

0:20:240:20:30

you are uncertain which part of the film you are in. It is expert at

0:20:300:20:34

keeping you off balance and on edge. I don't have a bad word to say

0:20:340:20:40

about this. It is original, but I would compare it to, interestingly,

0:20:400:20:47

it is more of a Roman Polanski film than carnage. I would mention

0:20:470:20:54

picnic at Hanging Rock. It has an eeriness and calm. Anyone who has

0:20:540:21:00

seen that all know what I mean. It is a fantastic film. If I was

0:21:000:21:05

boring about Charlize Theron and how the Young Adult has been

0:21:050:21:11

overlooked, this is a crime. You watch this, call me and you will

0:21:110:21:19

agree. It is sinister. Nobody is how you think they are going to be.

0:21:190:21:25

That is what is so fascinating. Nothing is explicit. Nothing is

0:21:250:21:29

absolutely shown. You can only imagine what happened between her

0:21:290:21:34

and her sister. You have no idea. Just piecing it together and not

0:21:340:21:39

knowing what setting she is going to be in, it is fantastic. She is

0:21:390:21:49
0:21:490:21:50

phenomenal. She is absolutely mesmerising. The way he shoots her,

0:21:500:21:55

she looks so beautiful. There is an amazing scene when she is in a barn.

0:21:550:22:01

When you see it, you will understand. This terrible figure,

0:22:010:22:06

who is brilliant, Patrick, is there. You'll not get this film out of

0:22:060:22:11

your head. It is an extraordinary week for film. There is nothing

0:22:110:22:16

that is bad, but please go and see this. I absolutely agree with you.

0:22:160:22:22

I'm glad you talked about Elizabeth Olsen. As a breakthrough

0:22:220:22:26

performance, it is the first film she has been in. It is incredible.

0:22:270:22:33

A lot of that is to do with how she looks. She is a very pretty person,

0:22:330:22:37

but there is something alien about her. I don't know if she will ever

0:22:370:22:41

give a performance as good as this, but even if she does not, she has

0:22:410:22:45

made her mark. John Hawkes, the film wouldn't be the same without

0:22:450:22:50

him. The script is fantastic. It lets us know maybe you don't need

0:22:500:22:54

to know everything about every character all at once. And maybe

0:22:540:22:58

there are some things you do not need to know at all. It is

0:22:580:23:03

spellbinding. If we were living in my world, it would walk away with a

0:23:030:23:10

bag full of Oscars. It has a fantastic ending. Danny asked, do

0:23:100:23:15

we see the same thing when we are watching the same film? He went to

0:23:150:23:19

find out. It is a strange way spending time,

0:23:190:23:25

going to the cinema. Sitting in the dark and exposing ourselves to a

0:23:250:23:29

kaleidoscopic barrage of sound and images, to see life through someone

0:23:290:23:35

else's eyes. But film has a unique power to get under our skin and

0:23:350:23:41

into our minds. I want to find out about the psychology up of the film

0:23:410:23:47

experience, the process that begins the moment the lights go down.

0:23:470:23:51

House cinema works on the brain is a hot topic. Edits in films are

0:23:510:23:56

getting faster and faster. I want to know how much free will we have

0:23:560:24:02

when we watch a film. Just compare this James Bond fight scene from

0:24:020:24:12
0:24:120:24:16

1971. To this one, in 2008. I have come to Birkbeck University to take

0:24:160:24:20

part in the unit -- experiment to find out more about the signs to

0:24:200:24:26

the art of filming. I want to watch this clip as naturally as possible.

0:24:260:24:31

Reaction times are a factor in this, so please pay attention and answer

0:24:310:24:36

as fast as you can. I have seen this so many times but I have never

0:24:360:24:43

seen it with my head in a vice. It is fine, go with it. I want you to

0:24:430:24:49

put the machine on. If the machine does not work? What was I just

0:24:490:24:55

doing? I got you to put your chin Verso this strip could record your

0:24:550:24:59

face. The tracker has high-speed infra-red cameras that illuminate

0:24:590:25:04

your face and allow us to see where your pupils are and where you are

0:25:040:25:08

looking on the screen. We are using this to see how you watch films and

0:25:080:25:11

how it relates to what the film- maker is doing to manipulate your

0:25:110:25:17

attention. What is manipulating my attention, what tricks do they have

0:25:170:25:22

up their sleeve? You think you can take in the whole scene that is in

0:25:220:25:27

front of you when you choose. But the skill of the film-maker it is

0:25:270:25:35

to guide your attention, take advantage of habits you have in the

0:25:350:25:39

real world to guide you to what they want you to look at in the

0:25:390:25:45

Dome. It is focus, lighting and the framing. When you are hooked in,

0:25:450:25:50

they can edit things to cut to the things we are interested in. I am

0:25:500:25:58

Rachel's. There is lots of conventions and film, that have

0:25:580:26:03

been there for decades. Cutting from long shots, as you come into a

0:26:030:26:07

scene to closer shot. The film maker goes from one viewpoint to

0:26:070:26:12

another that he wants you to be interested in. He has to have a way

0:26:120:26:15

of doing this in a natural way, so it does not seem as though he is

0:26:150:26:19

forcing the viewer to look at something. So we forget we are

0:26:190:26:24

watching a film? It should be just as fluid and easy for us to watch a

0:26:240:26:30

film as it is to watch a natural seen playing out in front of us.

0:26:300:26:36

How does that go in Blade runner? One character is on the left and

0:26:360:26:42

one is on the right. When our interests which to one character,

0:26:420:26:48

the film-maker cuts to a close up. If you roll back timed to the

0:26:480:26:53

beginning of film and the start of the 20th century, film-makers,

0:26:540:26:57

through experimentation were getting an insight to these

0:26:570:27:02

Technics. And they understand these principles before psychologists

0:27:020:27:07

were able to investigate and quantify them. Have you had other

0:27:070:27:15

people before me watching the same clip? I can show you the behaviour

0:27:150:27:19

of eight people watching this clip. These circles is the location of

0:27:190:27:23

one viewer. We have had more to put circles all looking at the same

0:27:230:27:29

time. And there is this heat map which tells us how co-ordinated it

0:27:290:27:35

is. What you can see is how rapidly attention moves around, but how

0:27:350:27:40

focused it is on small areas of the screen. The editing is there to cut

0:27:400:27:46

and focus us to new parts of the image. But what is surprising is

0:27:460:27:50

viewers would generally look at the same part of the image. So we look

0:27:500:27:54

at this shot and the reverse shot, it is quick, then cutting across

0:27:540:27:59

and finding the face of the person who is speaking. For the first time

0:27:590:28:03

we can use this experiment to show how effective these editing

0:28:030:28:11

inventions really are. At your data, your gaze is these red box. And the

0:28:110:28:14

lines are when you are making a sweeping movement when your eyes

0:28:140:28:20

move somewhere else. Your attention is doing mostly the same thing.

0:28:200:28:24

am watching presumably what Ridley Scott, the director, wants me to

0:28:240:28:28

watch? He probably knows exactly what he want you to be

0:28:290:28:33

concentrating on. He is setting up the shots, lighting it and staging

0:28:330:28:38

it. He will know most of the time were you are looking and therefore

0:28:380:28:42

were all of the viewers will be looking. It is unnerving. You ask

0:28:420:28:47

yourself do we have any freewill whatsoever? For 90% of most

0:28:470:28:52

Hollywood movies, we are looking at a small region of the screen, just

0:28:520:28:58

about 3%. It is only these individual things we point our eyes

0:28:580:29:02

at that make it into our memory. proved we are all looking at the

0:29:020:29:12
0:29:120:29:12

same thing when we are watching a film. You are reading a magazine

0:29:120:29:21

and you come across a full-page nude picture of a girl. Is this

0:29:210:29:24

testing my resonance or that I am a lesbian. Does this mean we feel the

0:29:240:29:29

same way about what we see? show it to your husband, and he

0:29:290:29:37

hands it on your bedroom wall? They can make us look at whatever

0:29:370:29:41

they like, but they can't control how we feel for her those images

0:29:410:29:44

mesh with whatever was in our minds to start with and that is cinema's

0:29:450:29:48

greatest trick and it's the one that makes sure that no matter how

0:29:480:29:54

many films I see, they keep coming back for more.

0:29:540:29:58

Next, Chronicle, the story of three high-school friends who suddenly

0:29:580:30:08
0:30:080:30:09

develop superhuman powers. probably won't want this on camera.

0:30:090:30:14

Do it. Give me a countdown. This film is about what would happen if

0:30:140:30:24
0:30:240:30:30

very ordinary American teenagers We opened a movie on a kid who is

0:30:300:30:40
0:30:400:30:42

dealing with a lot of problems at home. No way! The main character is

0:30:420:30:47

a loner. These powers affect him kind of like a temptation. A

0:30:470:30:57
0:30:570:30:58

temptation to strike back. What is wrong with you? Was it an accident?

0:30:580:31:08

Andrew? That is in direct contrast to Steve Montgomerie and his cousin,

0:31:080:31:18
0:31:180:31:20

Matt. I really wanted, as a big film lover, to approach the found

0:31:200:31:25

footage bathetic and create a movie rather than a gimmick or just a

0:31:250:31:34

one-off experience. Can you hear that? How creepy is that? A sound

0:31:340:31:43

coming up. Probably. I think it reflects on what I think is the

0:31:430:31:46

most self photograph generation of all time. Kids are also equipped

0:31:460:31:50

with the technology to document their lives, every minute from the

0:31:500:32:00
0:32:000:32:02

time they wake up to the time they From the first scene of the film to

0:32:020:32:05

the last scene of the film, we didn't want any of the visual

0:32:050:32:15
0:32:150:32:21

effects to take you out of that The other films we have talked

0:32:210:32:27

about are very girl heavy. Even Carnage feels like a woman's film.

0:32:270:32:33

This is boys. He say that like it's a bad thing. Teenage boys! It has a

0:32:330:32:39

cheekiness and I think it has some great scenes high up in the sky. I

0:32:390:32:45

really enjoyed it. However, and I'm just going to say this, the device,

0:32:450:32:49

which is that everybody shoots everything, I think went one person

0:32:490:32:56

too far with the girlfriend who was, do you mind, I've got a camera. I

0:32:560:33:02

get it. I do think I'm a little old lady and I think everybody films

0:33:020:33:05

everything and puts it on Facebook. I'm possibly of the wrong

0:33:050:33:11

generation but I found it a bit contrived. But in general, I said

0:33:110:33:14

15-year-old boys would love this. think it is an incredibly pleasant

0:33:140:33:20

surprise. The found footage Bangor is what people will pick up on

0:33:200:33:27

because they will think of this like Cloverfield. It is a really

0:33:270:33:31

nice idea and I hear what you are saying about the script. There are

0:33:310:33:34

a lot of explanations for why people last filming. But visually

0:33:340:33:40

it works brilliant and without giving away too much, the finale is

0:33:400:33:45

completely dependent on there found footage. I'm happy with the film, I

0:33:450:33:49

won't criticise it. What is so impressive is the way it changes

0:33:490:33:55

tone. To do something realistically about what it is like to grow up as

0:33:550:33:59

a teenager in America, teenagers never have personalities. This

0:33:590:34:05

movie gives them personalities. You move through different genres. They

0:34:050:34:10

are 15, 16, they have superpowers. It is jackass. Them as they explore

0:34:100:34:14

their powers, it becomes a bit more sci-fi, then it becomes darker.

0:34:140:34:18

This is where the film excels and it starts to show an uglier side of

0:34:180:34:23

growing up in America. Award mention that the right one in and

0:34:230:34:30

carry. It is not a name to be trifled with. There's a No vote on

0:34:300:34:34

March to carry. I'm very keen on this film. It will be very

0:34:340:34:40

difficult to pick film of the week. Devilishly hard. There are three

0:34:400:34:43

excellent film someone very good one. I will go for Martha, Marcy,

0:34:430:34:48

May, Malene. Me too. If you are listening, please also see Young

0:34:480:34:52

Adult. It's now time for the questionnaire. This week it is

0:34:520:35:01

This sounds like a good question. What is your favourite almost

0:35:010:35:08

watched film? Well, probably the market movie. That was sweet.

0:35:080:35:15

Starring me. Maybe a film your Martin. Anything you ever watch?

0:35:150:35:21

How about breakfast at Tiffany's? Good choice. I can really relate to

0:35:210:35:26

Audrey Hepburn's character. She brought up on a farm and then went

0:35:260:35:31

to the big city. Just like me. nice. I can't think of any films

0:35:310:35:34

about a guy who brought up in a swamp and went to the big city, but

0:35:340:35:41

I quite like vanilla sky. It is a very important one for me. It is a

0:35:410:35:45

Tom Cruise film. I could have played that role. Really?

0:35:450:35:50

imagine yourself playing that role? Perhaps. I can identify with the

0:35:500:35:54

character. Total confusion, stuff going on he can't understand and

0:35:540:35:58

then he finds out his head but chopped off. It is very dear to my

0:35:580:36:07

heart. What? Remind me not to see that movie. They are a couple I

0:36:070:36:13

particularly enjoyed working with. Jim Henson is wonderful. Yes!

0:36:130:36:18

fellow named Frank Oz. I worked with him a couple of times. If I

0:36:180:36:22

could choose a director now to work with, I liked the idea of doing a

0:36:220:36:26

film with Martin Scorsese. He is a wonderful director, I love his

0:36:260:36:30

style. He seems like a pretty nice guy. Mostly it's about him being a

0:36:300:36:35

nice guy. He does have a movie out that is competing with The Muppets.

0:36:350:36:39

I know. You're giving the competition screen time. I am.

0:36:390:36:43

You're promoting him and his movie when you should be promoting our

0:36:430:36:48

movie. That's true. I suppose it would be nice to eliminate the

0:36:480:36:54

competition so maybe he will work for us next time! Wow! That's hard.

0:36:540:37:00

A what do you think? Bogeyed and the call. We can do their life

0:37:000:37:08

story. Hepburn and Tracy. We could be Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

0:37:080:37:18
0:37:180:37:22

Yet! We can dance. Those are all good. I concur. I quite like the

0:37:220:37:26

Rocky Horror Show. We could do that part. We could play those roles.

0:37:260:37:31

That is a pretty good movie. A huge cult success which I could put my

0:37:310:37:36

flippers up and watch any time. It's just to jump to the left. If I

0:37:360:37:41

do any more of have to pay royalties! That is all for tonight.

0:37:410:37:46

Next week's show will be back at 11:15pm and we will review The

0:37:460:37:51

Muppets, The Vow and A Dangerous Method. Playing it out is this must

0:37:510:37:55

be the plays starring Sean Penn. It's in cinemas this April. Thank

0:37:550:38:02

you for watching. Good night. father is dying and I haven't flown

0:38:020:38:08

in 30 years. Fear of flying is not your only problem. That's true.

0:38:080:38:17

of the reasons I fell in love with I didn't talk to my father in 30

0:38:170:38:25

years. I don't know the first thing about him. All I ever did was

0:38:250:38:31

search... You know about the Holocaust? And a general way.

0:38:310:38:38

father, did you know your father? In a general way. Would you like to
