Can Keloids Form On Earlobe

With eyes that are not clouded by hate

motto of Ashitaka (and all the great adventurers )

James Cameron's Avatar I imagine it like before and fatty, somewhat vain dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant, rubbing his stomach is satisfied, the views out into the distance and says to see the future. The Iron Giant, which he believes to have symbiotic arrogance in the way, has many names, for me he is Hayao Miyazaki, and Avatar is, if you would like to say it kindly, a tribute to this greatest of all animators. As you now can read on some sites (for example here and here ), Cameron has served in many works of Miyazaki, but especially at Princess Mononoke (1997). At the species can be off next Monday, 5 April, as part of a Miyazaki Showcase an idea abscond has brought out the Bartel the must.

Bloody as Avatar :
Princess Mononoke


Avatar told as Princess Mononoke of the quest of a young hero who moves into a foreign land to save his own tribe, while the frontier in a war between a supposedly civilized and a mystical natural world. Both Jake Sully and Ashitaka mediate between a work-sharing, resource-devouring, by force of arms growing, schools and hospitals be built in areas conquered imperial power and a self-sufficient, ecologically balanced, inhabited by many creatures and animated kingdom. In both films (as well as in the myth of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas), it is a wild princess (Neytiri / Mononoke), which leads the hero through the dangers of the forest and reveals its wonders. So far, so universal, but Cameron has also taken a number of details. In both films is a gigantic tree, the spiritual center of the forest. Both heroes have serious injuries, Sully can not move his legs, Ashitaka's right arm was poisoned by a demon. The small, chattering, white Kodamas from Princess Mononoke return to Avatar as floating, jellyfish-like forest spirits again, and both films end with a great battle in which sweeps away as a last resort nature a huge stampede of people (at Cameron Miyazaki boars have received the visages of hammerhead sharks). And then there are the flying mountains of Laputa and the many flight sequences that are found throughout the entire work Miyazaki ( Nausicaa, Laputa, Porco Rosso , Kiki's Delivery Service ) and would have to be Avatar like to trim. However

is Hayao Miyazaki himself one of the greatest masters in the synthesis of European, mythical, Asian fabrics and art historical motifs, from which he conjures own universes. Not the borrowing itself is to complain then, but perhaps what is left behind at Cameron: a deep sensitivity that worlds are not milk and honey countries but fragile ecosystems, where there are shortages, balances must be prepared in which each transformation has its price and must be used where. Princess Mononoke is on a very complex world of fantastical design, in which both the natural world as well as the civilization is differentiated in itself. Ashitaka is indeed an unconditional advocate of the rights of animals, while a sympathetic observer of the complexities in the village, whose inhabitants have set themselves against marauding samurai to defend. By no means driven only by greed, the lady turned out to be eboshi benefactress who worked in their factory bought free prostitutes and beggars. The residents of the settlement are among the most self-confident female characters of the animated movie theaters that find their work in the iron works well as emancipatory. Images of the work, prostitution and begging are nowhere in Avatar .

The Large and the Small: Laputa - Castle in the Sky

The unique balance between the Great and Small, the animate and the inanimate, the work and pleasure / flies Miyazaki knows how to keep forever, it is also very beautiful in Laputa - Castle in the sky watching (1986), which also Swift's Gulliver's Travels stood godfather. The fantastic adventure story about a kingdom in the clouds, which can locate by using a magical crystal, is a children's film in the best sense of all that we think we see everything here, for the first time in wonder. Whether it is the smallest or the largest creatures is, organic or metallic, butterflies and robots, each element of the natural and industrial creation, the same attention will be given. Above all, the vast and fantastic animated flight sequences, and air battles, which stood for the flights of literary devices and Jules Verne's sponsor, are of an imaginative power and enthusiasm, as whether the flies were just invented. But even in Laputa the characters, locations, units in complex environmental and economic systems are involved, there is nothing here for free. On board the pirate-machine, go with the kid's hero Sheeta and Pazu to Laputa, is from washing up to the kitchen duty all regulated to a strict schedule, and the magic castle itself, projected around the world escape fantasies, emerges finally as uprooted habitat that is ordained without integration into the Earth's ecosystem from destruction.

story of a mask: Spirited Away Land

Aburaya the kingdom, which discovered the eponymous heroine in Spirited Away Land (2001) at the end of a dark tunnel, is not a land of plenty. As in medieval Japan by Princess Mononoke , in the retro-futuristic world of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds (1984) or on the Laputa Castle in the air here are strict rules, failure to comply will be punished. The center of the Empire is a giant bathhouse for the gods and spirits, leading the witch Yubaba strict hand. To get into it either as a paying guest or a worker, and so Chihiro soon finds a pool attendant again to rid the demons from their huge mud crusts must. Or small, great beings, the grotesque as the beautiful, which operate in the bath house are decorated with his usual precision and boundless respect. Good and evil, they are not registered, but only arise from the actions of the characters in a complex web of action and reaction, of self-control and modesty. The driving force of this moral journey of discovery is quite as often the curiosity of a young girl who is with his courage and respect even before fearsome creatures amazing metamorphoses in motion. Gigantic monster turn out to be vulnerable minds, even the despotic witch Yubaba revealed as a caring mother.

also 's Moving Castle (2004), the children's book based on an English story of the young milliner Sophie, who is in love with a magician and as a punishment by a witch into an old woman transformed, impresses with the richness and accuracy of the fed from many sources, Miyazaki's imagination. The home town of Sophie, in their teeming with magnificent figures streets she meets the wizard Howl first time is a strange amalgam of medieval market town, an enchanted maze and early industrial city, the sky of steam railways and giant flying ships obscured is. Howl's Moving Castle Hauros, in Sophie hires as a housekeeper in order to be exempted from the curse, is a composite from scrap parts Steam engine and also a living monster that travels on thin legs through the misty landscape. His front door opens onto different worlds, in which Hauro pursues his craft.

The Art of Balance: Howl's Moving Castle

As always carries a fantastic effect in Miyazaki a profound moral dilemma, because the multiplication of worlds through the magic door that Hauro any time the obligations of a can rid the world by changing to another. Thus it has become an irresponsible wizard that even the suffering of the war barely moves yet to act. This is the flip side of magic, fight with the magician and the Miyazaki to this time something has, for the large number of locations, characters and magic options confusing towards the end of something the narratives so that the resolution of all too much like a rabbit out of a hat. But like all truly great magicians one is at the end of the illusion expire so that an accurate view of occurs on the hands of the master as an outrage.

How Do You Masterbate With Tissues

Looking for something nice

be born legends. Surrounded by more tourists on the island Hooge suddenly a man appears at his feet he wears cowboy boots, his enormous body is wrapped in a red towel, shoulders, back, and Mr tits are burnt by the sun, it is summer. The ferry leaves from the sweating phenomenon, a mixture of Jesus and the mother Helge Schneider-the-movies, going over to Schlüttsiel, and from there it continues in the old Mercedes in Hamburg. In a friendly dog hairdresser in the towel against worn Poodle coat is exchanged ("This smells just like a whole home for the elderly in the squat-making"), then it goes straight home to mom and son, eat chicken and his ear cut off. "Eat and kip, or you can nix," complains the offspring. "You can still sometimes have bad luck," replies King Harry.

Elvis Presley and the same person:
King Harry (right) and
director Torsten Stegmann


Harry is one of these Figures, as we know them now from many Hamburg-films, "a sad predator, a drunken saint" ( Rainer Knepperges ) that comes with nothing in hand except for a plastic bag or a guitar in the city to be lucky to . try Sometimes they come out of prison gates, as in Klaus Lemke Rocker and Paul , sometimes they come from the province, as in Henna Peschel MadBoy , but always have it the best yet to come and a large snout. In real life, because the line between actor and character, between reality and fiction are difficult to determine in these films. In Harry's comeback - Last Puff Helgoland which is perhaps even more than his models: Harry's mother, Harry's son, Harry himself playing himself in the apartment where Harry actually lives with his mother's chicken is really his favorite food - and bad luck he has had a lot.

Filmmaker Torsten Stegmann is a fan Klaus Lemke, a close friend Henna Peschel and co-director of Part 4 of Rollo Aller tetralogy . Harry Hartz, he has met through his son Gregory, who was his roommate for years. From the idea of a documentary about the Elvis impersonator to make a short film created, and finally the feature film. This tells how Harry drummed his buddies together Chucker and boat to collect old debts neighborhood, pursued by a killer and will eventually end up in a karaoke bar, where he "Elvis Presley and the same person" there. More important than the act but the punk attitude, from which the film was made, the main character and director of shared belief in the friendship, the wisecracking, self-esteem and the inspiration of the moment.

And the city of Hamburg. Surprising is the abundance of places and illustrious stars who are seen in the 70 minutes of the film: Reverend Christian Dabel, known as "Daddel" from the Rollo Aller Movies, hunting as a pathological killer in a car chase, the three heroes of the free port, in the villa where Paul and Moritz dear Moritz were shot, stayed the Russian Mafia, Rocko Schamoni bought for 20 € a engraving ("a real Hinsch") for the Poodle Salon, and Matthias "Tex" Strzoda is the laconic owner of the karaoke bar. None of the involved actors and technicians have received money, the soundtrack has contributed Reverend Christian Dabel, was shot with three cameras, which were on loan for 2.50 per day from TIDE , worked in small Graceland Studios the engineer Marko Peter Bachmann in the evenings and on weekends at the tone of the film. It was worth it, the man in the red towel is now immortal. At the premiere, he will still take back his Elvis costume.

*********************************************



The world premiere of Harry's comeback - Last Puff Helgoland place on Saturday, 20 March, held at 21.15 clock in Metropolis cinema . It is expected many guests. More information can be found here and here. Previously, clock by 19, gives Curd Jürgens Rolf Olsen The Doctor of St. Pauli the man trusted by the hookers, tramps and pimps.

Bizarre Cinema im April

Winter is not over yet. Thank God. Cinema Bizarre makes the first time in April full program. Snakes, mercenaries, sadists, Satanists and Sicilian sociopaths looking for in next month's home, the canvas of the B-Movie , as always presented by hand-picked specialists of obscure film. In May, then switched from weekly to monthly late Sunday afternoon performances ideas - silly season goodbye! There will be double features on specific topics and also the one or other guest, the plans are in full swing. Everything else here soon.



Sunday 4 April, 15.30 Clock: Stanley
USA 1972, 91 min, 35 mm, DF, directed by William Grefe, Starring: Chris Robinson, Alex Rocco
The half-Indian and Vietnam veteran Tim lives quietly with his snakes in the swampy Everglades. When Stanley got his favorites, and Hazel Young, family life seems perfect. Were it not for those people to enter the all respect him and his surrogate family obligations with the feet. In the maelstrom of snake abuse and homophobia is so much fanciful folly developed, that usually only a short time remains to choose between speechlessness, head shaking and laughter. Mental Horror hardly can be liberating animals.

Sunday 11 April, 15.30 Clock: mercenaries have no mercy ( Dangerous Encounter - 1st Kind )
Hong Kong 1980, 86 min, 35 mm, DF, Director: Tsui Hark Starring: Lo Lieh, Lin Chen-Chi, Albert Au , Bruce Baron, Tsui Hark Tsui Hark's nihilistic
third part of the "Trilogy of chaos" caused a shock with the public - the grotesque shocker was banned after its premiere in Hong Kong now! We have him back retrieved from the archives. Teenager Paul and two school friends go on a joyride in his father's secret car a pedestrian to death. A girl, the term "psychopath" is redefined, eye witness of the accident and blackmails the boys to take part in a robbery. True, it is dicey, as the quartet accidentally drops a suitcase full of money laundering checks in their hands. Now they are of triads and American weapon dealers hunted to the death - and MERCENARY KNOW NO MERCY (Ger. title)! The hysterical vision of an urban jungle, full of violence, the memories of A Clockwork Orange and awakens in a showdown à la Sam Peckinpah escalates. Note: This masterpiece of Hong Kong New Wave Cinema is not for the faint hearted!

Sunday 18 April, 15.30 Clock: The sadists of Satan (Satan's Sadists )
USA 1969, 88 min, 35 mm, DF, directed by Al Adamson Starring: Russ Tamblyn, Regina Carrol, Gary Kent, Jackie Taylor
already the title is so priceless, and the advertising placed on it in 1969 still a "human garbage - in the sickest love parties," and then "Motorcycle Maniacs," "Fantastic Fights" and Regina Carrol as "The Freak-Out Girl" promise. Whatever the case: Russ Tamblyn, the riff from West Side Story , plays a mad biker, buzzing with his gang, murdering and raping by the southwestern United States. Unsuspecting college girls to do LSD in the coffee - that is not nice. But a Vietnam veteran, shows the evil-doers, what he has learned in the war. Al Adamson - Cinema Bizarre in the already with The Female Bunch was represented - directed. Whether that is a promise?

Sunday 25 April, 15.30 Clock: The devil is directing
Italy 1973, 95 min, 35 mm, DF, directed by Fernando Di Leo Starring: Henry Silva, Richard Conte, Gianni Garko
The devil is directing is not only the motto of Bizarre Cinema series, but also a prime example of the Italian Poliziotti film of the 70s. Director Fernando Di Leo has been fired in this work a tough shell that not only Quentin Tarantino has deeply impressed. Lanzetta hitman triggers the execution of some mobsters in a porn cinema in Palermo a spiral of violence, where all registers unrestrained Italo-action be taken.
