Book excerpt: Harvey Keitel has made his menacing presence felt in some of the greatest cult movies ever, from Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets and Taxi Driver to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. with over sixty movies to his name Keitel is one of the most sought-after actors in the world. Yet, unlike so many of his peers he has remained loyal to the world of independent and groundbreaking films, repeatedly surprising us with risky performances such as those in Bad Lieutenant, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Piano and Smoke. Keitel's willingness to challenge himself and support small films has inspired a generation of young actors and directors, helping to reinvigorate independent film and giving us a gritty, refreshing screen icon--a throwback to greats such as Lee Marvin and Robert Mitchum.Keitel's rollercoaster life is also unique, a story unike any other in filmdom's annals. A kid on the street in Jewish Brooklyn, a stint in the Marines, a brief career as a court stenographer, an encounter with Scorsese and De Niro, firing from the lead in Apocalypse Now, self-imposed Hollywood exile in the eighties, a triumphant return to prominence in the great films of this decade, Keitel throughout has exemplified a painful and unflinching search for honesty and self knowledge which smolders and flares in his performances.

Download or read book Coppola s Monster Film written by Steven Travers and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1975, after his two Godfather epics, Francis Ford Coppola went to the Philippines to film Apocalypse Now. He scrapped much of the original script, a jingoistic narrative of U.S. Special Forces winning an unwinnable war. Harvey Keitel, originally cast in the lead role, was fired and replaced by Martin Sheen, who had a heart attack. An overweight Marlon Brando, paid a huge salary, did more philosophizing than acting. It rained almost every day and a hurricane wiped out the set. The Philippine government promised the use of helicopters but diverted them at the last minute to fight communist and Muslim separatists. Coppola filmed for four years with no ending in the script. The shoot threatened to be the biggest disaster in movie history. Providing a detailed snapshot of American cinema during the Vietnam War, this book tells the story of how Apocalypse Now became one of the great films of all time.

Book excerpt: A National Book Award winner and New York Times bestselling author deepens and refreshes our view of early Christianity while casting a disturbing light on the evolution of the attitudes passed down to us. "Confirms her reputation as both a scholar and a popular interpreter.... Continuously rewarding and illuminating." —The New York Times How did the early Christians come to believe that sex was inherently sinful? When did the Fall of Adam become synonymous with the fall of humanity? What turned Christianity from a dissident sect that championed the integrity of the individual and the idea of free will into the bulwark of a new imperial order—with the central belief that human beings cannot not choose to sin? In this provocative masterpiece of historical scholarship Elaine Pagels re-creates the controversies that racked the early church as it confronted the riddles of sexuality, freedom, and sin as embodied in the story of Genesis. And she shows how what was once heresy came to shape our own attitudes toward the body and the soul.
