Novels in New York # 39: Maggie, A History of New York in New York


begin by saying that the story of this novel is as interesting as its contents. Written
in 1891, in just two days by the then twenty year old Stephen Crane (1871-1900), "Maggie" not had any luck publishing, so that the young writer and journalist was forced two years later in pubblicarselo alone, not even one thousand copies, then spending the considerable sum of $ 869.
The original title was "Maggie a girl of the street - a story of New York" , signed with the pseudonym Johnston Smith.
He managed to sell a few books (yes, two in number), I gave some to relatives and most of the remaining copies were used by the cleaning girl to light the fire. With the consent of the author, is clear.
Yet reading this short novel, rediscovered when Crane had some success in 1895 with "The Red Badge of Courage" , is an extraordinary experience, a testimony accurate, realistic and exciting life of one of the worst areas of the city.
The characters are portrayed in a harsh, almost cruel that the author is not romance but carving, chisel the story with dialogues thesis, modern even today that more than one hundred years. The story of Maggie
more than a story is a collection of photographs, a series of shots that sheds light on a character who appears hopeless right from the start.
Maggie, sewing collars and cuffs for a few cents, lives in the "tenements", knows or at least understands that there may be a better world of squalor that revolves around the ruling. Will try to change, and will do so to escape ending up in the arms of Pete, a little - very little - a good friend of his brother Jimmy.
"For her the world was made only of hardship and injuries. He tried once admiration for a man capable of challenging such a world. I think if the dark angel of death had gripped the hearts, Pete would have shrugged and would said "I put everything in place I" .
The shadows of New York's Bowery in the late nineteenth century and many were young and radiant beauty of Maggie will not be enough to lighten up, nothing will against the cruelty of the big and small neighborhood.
"He began to imagine another of his visits. Expenditure part of the wages to buy the cretonne to make a floral curtain. The fashioned with infinite care and hung it on the hood of the stove in the kitchen. He looked anxiously from different points the room. We held that he looks good, perhaps on Sunday evening when Jimmie's friend would come back. "
The New York Crane was entirely concentrated in those slums, where the carriers in a fist fight on the streets at the slightest provocation and the police never fails to bring out their batons. The only car worthy of respect is that of the firefighters, even they can turn off the alcohol fumes that stifle many of the protagonists.
We are parties de The Gang of New York and Life, but with the contemporary look of a brilliant mind, who knew how to dive not only metaphorically in those slums, capturing the soul and turning it into black literature, opening the way for a realistic style that will affect a lot of American fiction of the 900.

What Apr Can I Get With Bankruptcy

For a Few Dollars More - Sergio Leone (1965)

(Id.)

Seen Dvx.

second chapter of the ideal trilogy preceded by " For a Fistful of Dollars " and then " The Good, the Bad and the Ugly .

Two bounty killer, the always cool Eastwood el'incredibilmente solar Van Cleef (which is also done in this film acting) are both looking for the fugitive neo Volonté . After many thoughts will join the first to make sure you take the money and the other for revenge.

Overall, the film is the weakest of the three. The story is the least interesting, and quite predictable in many parts.

However Leone usually does the job on the cinematic language of the western genre, with his shots from the bottom to Kurosawa, with his face towards the mount, and with its trielli (there is an initial triello of looks between Eastwood, Van Cleef and the image of Will).

The film, however it is nice and appreciated.

PS: for love, will and good, a fully fledged actors who demonstrate the capacity in every area, even in Western, but co-protagonists of the triptych completed by Wallach is unbeatable.

Women's Public Shower

A blaze of love - Ingmar Bergman (1953)

(Gycklarnas Afton)

seen on DVD.

The madam of a fourth-rate circus returns to his home town after three years, where he left his wife with few children, in the meantime, however, is well done lover, horsewoman, which is rather jealous. As he goes to see the little children, in revenge for her / stupidity si concede ad un attore teatrale. Il proprietario del circo vorrebbe abbandonare la vita circense, ma la moglie non vuole accoglierlo di nuovo in casa, mesto se ne ritorna al suo baraccone dove scoprirà il tradimento dell’amante. Durante lo spettacolo della sera sarà preso di mira degli scherzi dell’attore che ha concupito (che bel termine) la cavallerizza e la situazione si risolverà in una rissa a due sulla pista del circo. Sfinito da tutti e dalla vita il proprietario deciderà di togliersi la vita… non ne sarà capace e tornerà a fare esattamente quello che faceva prima.

Amarissima riflessione sula vita di Bergman (una riflessione sulla vita fatta da Bergman che sia amara?! Ma va?) dove ogni personaggio è un archetipo incastrato nella sua vita senza possibilità di salvezza, forse anche per una sorta di limite personale.

Ciò che più colpisce comunque sono i rapporti sociali, sorretti da una struttura di disprezzo poco velato dall’ipocrisia (esemplare la scena al teatro quando vanno a chiedere dei vestiti), disprezzo che nasce dalla comune situazione di precariato.

Da antologia alcune scene come quella del tentato suicidio (un sequenza di immagini di rara disperazione) o quella della rissa sulla pista del circo dove i due contendente divengono animali su cui un pubblico gretto fa un tifo feroce fregandosene del significato di quello is happening.

PS: in photo B / W scream.

I Need An Indemnity For House Purchase

Nightmare II: The Revenge - Jack sholder (1985)

(A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge)

Seen Dvx.

Second chapter of the saga. The plot is a pretext and without grounds and the main character is bland ...

Anyway ... Freddy Krueger returns to earth to kill people and needs a adolescentello bland and problematic, it is not clear, but it is an excuse to not repeat the plot in the same way as the first. But the result is a Donnie Darko with ideas less clear and much more irritating.

Place the edge of history, the film moves well, but he never shows fear and very little Freddy and to make matters worse put together a series of stupid ideas that can not be more losers, such as towels -slaps Automatic Butt , attacks by parakeets flaming , the protagonist of the bovine tongue, dogs with a mask of sbrodolino pissed

And to make matters worse there is no irony ... many of these choices would acceptable with a turn toward even greater irony than the first, but ...

Il film si lascia anche guardare (anche per via della cornice onestamente anni ‘80), ma una volta finito ci si rende conto di non aver visto nulla.

Forse vi ricorderete di me per scene come: l’unica scena minimamente originale è quella in cui Freddy esce dal corpo del ragazzo. Vedere la sua faccia che si spinge fuori dal petto è certamente un bel momento, ma l’inquadratura dell’occhio nella gola è quella che si imprime di più nella memoria.
