Download or read book Christotainment written by Shirley R. Steinberg,Joe L. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two thousand years Christian expansion and proselytizing was couched in terms of 'defending the faith'. Until recently in the United States, much of that defense came in the form of reactions against the 'liberal' influences channeled through big-corporate media such as popular music, Hollywood movies, and network and cable television. But the election of Ronald Reagan as a Hollywood President introduced Christian America to the tools of advertising and multimedia appeals to children and youth to win new believers to God's armies. Christotainment examines how Christian fundamentalism has realigned its armies to combat threats against it by employing the forces it once considered its chief enemies: the entertainment media, including movies, television, music, cartoons, theme parks, video games, and books. Invited contributors discuss the critical theoretical frameworks of top-selling devices within Christian pop culture and the appeal to masses of American souls through the blessed marriage of corporatism and the quest for pleasure.

Download or read book Local Hero written by Jonathan Melville and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It's not a high concept movie, there's actually no story there really. It's what happens in between the story that's important' – Bill Forsyth The story of an American businessman sent to buy the Scottish village of Ferness with the aim of turning it into an oil refinery, Local Hero is one of Scotland's most beloved, and most misunderstood, films. When Bill Forsyth's incredible success with the low-budget That Sinking Feeling and Gregory's Girl found him collaborating with Britain's best-known film producer, David Puttnam, he soon found his independent ethos clashing with Hollywood's desire for superstar actors and a happy ending. Jonathan Melville checks into the MacAskill Arms and looks back at Bill Forsyth's career with the help of new and archive interviews, before spending time with the cast and crew, including stars Peter Riegert and Denis Lawson, who made Local Hero on location in Houston and Scotland in 1982. With access to early drafts of the Local Hero script (including hand-written notes) that reveal more about Mac and mermaids, excerpts from a previously unpublished interview in which Bill Forsyth explains why he refuses to call his film 'feel-good', and a look at long-lost deleted scenes with exclusive commentary from those involved, this is the definitive history of the Scottish classic. 'Genuine fairy tales are rare; so is film-making that is thoroughly original in an unobtrusive way. Bill Forsyth's quirky disarming Local Hero is both . . . it demonstrates Mr. Forsyth's uncanny ability for making an audience sense that something magical is going on, even if that something isn't easily explained' – Janet Maslin, The New York Times ' Local Hero is kind of transcendent. It's poetic in a way that most films can't hope to be' – Frank Cottrell-Boyce ' Local Hero is one my favourite films of all time . . . A timeless masterpiece' – Mark Kermode

Download or read book The lord of the Alpharia Ocean written by K. Shajahan and published by Sha K. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicky is a thirteen-year-old boy, the son of a merchant navy officer. He loves his father very much. As life goes on happily, a tragedy comes into their life when the pirates hijacked his father’s ship. Nicky's father is being held captive by pirates. The news upset Nicky. To comfort him, his grandmother tells him the story of a savior with supernatural powers who lives in the sea called Sea Lord. As Nicky was hopeless, he believed in that savior at that disturbing time. So he comes to the sea at night in search of that Savior, the Sea Lord. Upon reaching the shore, he decided, to travel a few distances in the ocean and call the Sea Lord. He found an old small wooden boat on the shore. He pushed the boat into the water. And then slowly moved forward on the swaying waves. On that journey across the ocean in a small boat, Nicky moved far from the shore in the flow of waves and reached the deep sea. Though unexpectedly he reached the middle of the ocean, Nicky had no fear at the thought of his father, who was waiting for death in front of the pirate’s gun. As his burning mind was with his father, he didn’t notice that he was in the middle of the ocean. In the serenity of the ocean visible in the light of the moonlight, he hopefully called his savior, the Sea lord. But no one heard his call. Time was running out. He continued that call with hope. He saw no one in the desolate sea. Fear and despair paralyzed him. At that moment, he drank a little water from the ocean without remembering that it was salty seawater. But to his surprise, he tasted the pure water. At the same time, he could see another wonderful thing, blue-colored water like a stream flowing on the surface of the ocean. His boat was on that current. He drank some more water from it again. In that amazing experience, he got a revival again by forgetting everything for a while. In that joy, he called his savior again. This time a large tortoise, his name was also Sea Lord, heard Nicky’s call and came near to his boat and started talking to him. When Nicky is amazed at seeing a talking tortoise, the tortoise tells him that Nicky had accidentally drunk the water of the mystic Alpharia River, which is the divine water of spirits that flows in the ocean. It is invisible to humans. As he has drunk the secret water, there will be some pros and cons as a result. He will be able to hear and talk to ocean creatures and other animals and birds, he can live in the water as he lives on the land, and he can see the roaming spirits. Likewise, there will be trouble, which is that he will be invisible to humans after five days. The tortoise also describes the complex way to get out of that invisibility. But nothing came to Nicky’s thought, which was melting over his father's condition in the clutches of pirates. He told the tortoise of his sad story. Seeing his grief, the tortoise called his friend, the leader of the seagulls, to find a way to help him. Meanwhile, a storm had formed in the ocean. Sea creatures saved Nicky from the storm, taking him on top of a dolphin to a secret mountain range called the Alpharia mountain range in the ocean, which is the source of the Alpharia River. It is a secret place invisible to humans. In the Alpharia mountain range, Nicky saw the soul of a Shaolin monk in the pool of spirits where the spirits came to drink water. Nicky told his story to the spirit and asked for help to save his father from pirates. As the monk was not able to come with Nicky, he taught Nicky a secret martial art called Dragon Kung Fu. Nicky and his ocean friends continue their journey finding a way to locate the ship that was hijacked by the pirates. At that time, another roaming spirit they found in the sea. Nicky requested his help. He gave a solution to find out the hijacked ship. Accordingly, Nicky and his team advanced quickly to locate the ship. At the end of that adventurous and complicated ocean journey, they reached the ship. With the help of the sea creatures, mainly the seagulls, Nicky confronts the pirates by showing his skill of Dragon Kung Fu that he learned from the Shaolin monk. He appears in front of the pirates as an epic character called the Lord of the Alpharia Ocean. Nicky subdues the pirates and releases his father and crew. Although Nicky was able to successfully carry out that mission with the abilities he gained by drinking the waters of the mysterious Alpharia River, there is a challenge to face, the invisibility that happens after five days. He will disappear from human sight. He knows that will be another tragedy for his family and for him To escape from that great trouble, he needs to find and drink special honey that can be seen in the icy Arctic tundra. His friends, the ocean creatures, comfort him by assuring their help in that mission. But before that, there were some more tasks he had to fulfill.
