Misty-eyed ‘heritage’ shows like The Crown are useful to the Brexit narrative. La pop culture peut-elle remplacer les livres d'histoire? Temps de lecture: 17 min Vercingétorix n’était pas le chef héroïque d’une nation gauloise unie qui n’est pas l’arrière grand-mère de la nation française, la majorité des Français n’étaient pas résistants durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale et les premiers jours de la Révolution française ne sont pas des jours illustres façon La Liberté guidant le peuple d’un peuple pacifique épris des idéaux des Lumières.

La pop culture peut-elle remplacer les livres d'histoire?

Tous ces mythes font partie du «roman national»: sorte de système historique qui commence à se développer à la fin du XIXe siècle et qui consiste à faire de l’histoire officielle et enseignée un récit plus ou moins fantasmé, tout dédié à susciter l’amour de la patrie.

LE MONDE | 13.05.2016 à 09h43 • Mis à jour le 10.05.2018 à 17h22 | Par Pierre Breteau C’est un sentiment que le téléspectateur de l’Eurovision, fin géopolitologue ou non, a déjà ressenti : les Scandinaves votent pour leurs cousins scandinaves, les habitants des Balkans pour leurs anciens camarades d’ex-Yougoslavie, etc. Et cela dure depuis 62 ans.

The group— planned to include actresses like Kristen Stewart, Jane Fonda, Marion Cotillard, and Salma Hayek, directors such as Patty Jenkins, Ava DuVernay, and Haifaa Al Mansour, agents like CAA’s Hylda Queally and Maha Dakhil, and other cinema professionals such as Telluride Film Festival programmer Julie Huntsinger, and journalist Melissa Silverstein—will climb the steps that lead to the festival’s Théâtre Debussy, pause and stand motionless and silent facing the Palais.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Casting as Amputee in ‘Stronger’ Criticized. “Stronger,” a film based on the story of Jeff Bauman, who lost both of his legs during the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, is being criticized for its casting of Jake Gyllenhaal as Bauman, a double amputee.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Casting as Amputee in ‘Stronger’ Criticized

In an interview with Boston.com, David Gordon Green, the film’s director, said he never considered anyone other than Gyllenhaal to play Bauman, noting, “I knew he was going to be a playful actor that was able to break some rules of acting and go with me on a journey that was going to be both emotional and ultimately uplifting.”

But groups like The Ruderman Family Foundation say Gyllenhaal’s casting takes opportunities away from actors with disabilities. “The casting of Jake Gyllenhaal as the lead in the movie Stronger is the perfect example [of] Hollywood’s ongoing systemic discrimination against actors with disabilities.” Jennifer Lawrence Is A Prisoner Of Her Cool Girl Image.

Why museum professionals need to talk about Black Panther – The Hopkins Exhib...

Notable for its impeccable dialogue, witty banter, and nearly all POC cast, Black Panther provides a platform to discuss a multitude of topics on a national scale. With issues such as police brutality, the ever-present effects of slavery in Western society, and black identity approached in the film, it is easy to gloss over one of the more exposition-driven scenes of the film that engages with the complicated relationship between museums and audiences affected by colonialism. Killmonger, the half-Wakandan who aims to take the throne to avenge his father and liberate the black world using vibranium technology, is introduced in the film as an adult while surveying the collection of East African artifacts in a fictional British museum.

Clearly, this is referencing the British Museum, but uses the facade of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta for the exterior. Parsing Oscar Ballot, Publicist Loves Phantom Thread, Not Darkest Hour.

However, prison labor advocates say that “Dunkirk” should be disqualified from receiving any Oscars due to its use of prison labor in constructing sets in France during production in 2016.
