We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin – Magna Carta. Distinguished constitutional historian David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth. He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?
该纪录片主要追踪了三只野生动物的成长轨迹:小北极熊由杜马斯夫妇养大,时时刻刻活跃于荧幕上,从小到大都有影像记录;佩珀伯格博士培养了非洲灰鹦鹉艾利克斯,它学会分辨物体、数字、形状、材质,甚至能做简单的加法,揭开动物智能研究领域的新篇章;人们普遍认为类人猿中只有黑猩猩和大猩猩具备语言能力,而夏皮罗博士在婆罗洲雨林与褐猿同吃同睡、更教会其手语,完成了前所未见的壮举。这三只动物与主人培养了亲密无间的奇妙关系,甚至促进了人类对其的认知。
Responding to the call of President Roosevelt, the eight major Hollywood studios devoted their resources and talents in the service of the war effort. Feature films, documentaries, cartoons: thousands of films are produced for the general public or the different branches of the military. All serve a purpose: to motivate the commitment of new recruits, assist in the training of troops or to the organisation of the home front and denounce the Nazi ideology; to exacerbate the patriotic feeling… The greatest male stars of the time put on the uniform: Clark Gable, James Stewart and Tyrone Power all actively participate in combat while Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis and Rita Hayworth mobilise to raise funds or entertain the troops. All producers, actors and directors, from the most famous stars to more anonymous technicians answer the call of the government to set up a giant propaganda machine and produce hundreds of films to support the American War effort. THE HOLLYWOOD WAR portrays this unique venture and offers an original look into the Second World War, the history of America and the cinema.
由韦伯亲自监制的音乐剧DVD作品目前只有三部,它们分别是《猫》、《万世巨星》和这部《约瑟夫与神奇彩衣》。该剧是韦伯的处女作,1968年起在伦敦上演,当时韦伯仅仅20岁。正是这部戏开始了韦伯的音乐剧传奇。约瑟夫的故事完全取材于《圣经创世纪》,讲述受父亲特别宠爱的约瑟夫被他十一个兄弟嫉妒、出卖到埃及,最终衣锦还乡,手足交好的故事。饰演男主角约瑟夫的是70年代青春偶像唐尼奥斯门(Donny Osmond),奥斯门原先是摇滚歌手,在事业举步维艰之时加入韦伯王国而重获新生(他在《韦伯50周年音乐会》中也曾出场)。他在该剧中演唱的《无路可走》(Close Every Door to Me)逼真地刻画了约瑟夫被陷害后的心情,十分苍凉感人。该剧布景豪华,歌舞场面目不暇接,音乐元素十分丰富,是一部老少咸宜的剧目。
