Movies and Music: "Halloween" (1978) * Soundtrack - Horror

"Halloween" (1978) 

Halloween is a 1978 American independent slasher film directed and scored by John Carpenter, co-written with producer Debra Hill, and starring Donald Pleasence and Jamie Lee Curtis in her film debut. The plot centers around a mental patient Michael Myers who was committed to a sanitarium for murdering his babysitting teenage sister on Halloween night when he was six years old. Fifteen years later, he escapes and returns to his hometown, where he stalks a female babysitter and her friends, while under pursuit by his psychiatrist.

Filming took place in Southern California in May 1978, before premiering in October, where it grossed $70 million, becoming one of the most profitable independent films of all time. Primarily praised for Carpenter's direction and score, many critics credit the film as the first in a long line of slasher films inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) and Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974).

Halloween spawned a film franchise comprising eleven films which helped construct an extensive backstory for its antagonist Michael Myers, sometimes narratively diverging entirely from previous installments. A direct sequel of the film was released in 1981. A remake was released in 2007, which was followed by a sequel in 2009. An eleventh installment, which serves as a direct sequel to the original film that retcons all previous sequels, was released in 2018; this was followed by two direct sequels: Halloween Kills (2021) and the upcoming Halloween Ends (2022). Additionally, a novelization, a video game and comic book series have been based on the film. In 2006, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Noć Slomljenih Strela: 

"Prsten, Puška" 

Kupio sam prsten, odmah zatim kupio sam pušku.

Zoran me je gledao tupo, Nebojša setno.

" Momci… ovo je ipak 21 vek… svaka čast za sve ali naši putevi se ovde razilaze...ćao ! „

Rekao sam to sasvim polako i dovoljno ubedljivo da su momci shvatili da se ne šalim.

Prsten sam stavio na mali prst, sijao je zlokobno dok je šaputao svoje tajne.

Repetirao sam pušku i naslonio je na desnu nogu, prst je bio na orozu.

Polako sam išao sredinom glavne ulice. Sijao je neon, u kontrastu sa mračnim nebom to je bila zanimljiva kompozicija.

Jasno sam znao šta treba uraditi. Težina na mom srcu gorela je vekovima.

Nedomici je bio kraj, škorpion u mom džepu je napokon progovorio i jasno dao do znanja da dvoumici mesta više nema.

Ona je morala da nestane sa lica zemlje. Neće bilo dovoljno vratiti je u pepeo. Njena izdaja je bila gora i ona mora večno putovati i nikada ne stići, bol koju će pritom osećati ravna je potpunoj haotičnosti gde se čupa kosa i udara glavom o zid.

Tamo ću je poslati.

Gavrani su pametno shavatali da će ispod njih teći nešto nalik na krv. Skrasili su se u svojim krošnjama i nisu imali nameru da gledaju.

Kosa mi se lepila u znoju, očekivao sam da se pojavi.

Udario je jak vetar, nosio je ulično djubre i lepio ga za mene, ubrzo sam se jako teško pokretao, đubre se nagomilavalo. Podigao sam pušku ispred. Bilo je dovoljno da ugledam cilj.

Još jedanput sam u utrobi osetio senku romantizma, bacio sam kletvu na nju.

Tada sam je video. Stajala je nepomično sa blagim i iskrenim smeškom.

“ Znači to je to. “ - rekla je mirno.

“ Da. “ - pucao sam i ciljao u glavu.

Pala je. Nisam je ni pogledao, znao sam da nije kraj.

Iz podhodnika je izašla ponovo , oči su joj blistale, odsjaj je zvecnuo o moj prsten.

Pucao sam ponovo, pogodio je posred čela, silina metka je vratila u podhodnik.

Teško sam hodao dalje. Pretvorio sam se u gomilu đubreta i nije mi bilo lako da koračam i ciljam.

Naglo sam okrenu glavu. U dubini pasaža caklio se tamno crveni karmin.

Pucanj je odjeknuo kao bomba, stakla na izlozima su popucala, ona je pala i više se nikada nije podigla.

Tužno, obzirom da me je nekada višestruko više volela.

P.S.

Zahvalan sam na inspiraciji za ovu priču:

Night of the Broken Arrows:

"The Ring, The Rifle"

I bought a ring, then immediately bought a rifle.

Zoran stared at me blankly, Nebojša wistfully.

"Guys… this is the 21st century, after all… Respect for everything, but our paths split here… Goodbye!"

I said it slowly, convincingly enough that they understood I wasn’t joking.

I slipped the ring onto my pinky finger. It gleamed ominously, whispering its secrets.

I cocked the rifle and rested it against my right leg, my finger on the trigger.

I walked slowly down the middle of the main street. The neon lights flickered, striking a contrast against the dark sky and forming an interesting composition.

I knew exactly what needed to be done. The weight on my heart had been burning for centuries.

The moment of doubt was over; the scorpion in my pocket finally spoke, making it clear that hesitation had no place anymore.

She had to disappear from the face of the earth. Reducing her to ashes wouldn’t be enough. Her betrayal was far worse—she must wander forever, never arriving anywhere, her suffering equal to utter chaos, where hair is torn out, and heads smash against walls.

That’s where I would send her.

In their wisdom, the ravens understood that something resembling blood would soon flow beneath them. They settled in the treetops, unwilling to witness what was to come.

Sweat plastered my hair to my forehead as I waited for her to appear.

A strong wind blew, carrying street trash and sticking it to me. Soon, I could barely move—the garbage piled up, weighing me down. I raised the rifle. I only needed to see my target.

Once more, a shadow of romance stirred within me—I cast a curse upon her.

Then, I saw her. Standing motionless, with a soft and genuine smile.

"So, this is it," she said calmly.

"Yes," I answered, and fired, aiming for her head.

She fell. I didn’t even look—I knew it wasn’t over.

She emerged again from the underpass, her eyes gleaming. The reflection of that light clinked against my ring.

I fired again, hitting her square in the forehead. The force of the bullet sent her tumbling back into the underpass.

I trudged forward, now nothing more than a heap of trash. Walking and aiming became harder.

Suddenly, I turned my head.

In the depths of the passageway, a dark red lipstick shimmered.

The gunshot echoed like a bomb. Storefront windows shattered.

She fell and never rose again.

Sad, considering she once loved me so much more than I ever loved her.

 Vetar juri okeanom, juri pustinjom,

Šumom, livadom, 

Zavija strašno kada naleti na vrh kamena,

Beloglavi Sup, pero belo - oko strahovito! 

Pogled sa visine: 

Velika grupa lešinara, izgubljeno leti na sve strane ovih dana, 

Jedni na jednu - drugi na drugu stranu,

Đavo tačno zna, šta im dešava.

Bela Mačka:

 "Za Tebe I Za Nju" 

19

Vaše bezbrižno jutro i topli odjek snova

Milost Vam stvara oreole

Neka traje beskrajno Vaša velika romansa

Zapljuskuje je nežno, morska pena,

I dodiruju je male dečije ruke,

Gledaju zelene, sjajne oči,

U njima ste Vi, pesak i zebra...

Praiskonski zviždik Vas zove u božanski prostor

Gde ćete dobiti najnoviji oblik i dar

Za tebe i za nju,

Za Život Sveta 

Čuvajte taj poklon. Čuvajte taj mir.

MOVIE

The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick and co-written with novelist Diane Johnson. The film is based on Stephen King's 1977 novel of the same name and stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, Scatman Crothers, and Danny Lloyd.

The film's central character is Jack Torrance (Nicholson), an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies, with his wife, Wendy Torrance (Duvall), and young son, Danny Torrance (Lloyd). Danny is gifted with "the shining", psychic abilities that enable him to see into the hotel's horrific past. After a winter storm leaves the Torrances snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel.

Production took place almost exclusively at EMI Elstree Studios, with sets based on real locations. Kubrick often worked with a small crew, which allowed him to do many takes, sometimes to the exhaustion of the actors and staff. The new Steadicam mount was used to shoot several scenes, giving the film an innovative and immersive look and feel. There has been much speculation about the meanings and actions in the film because of inconsistencies, ambiguities, symbolism, and differences from the book.

The film was released in the United States on May 23, 1980, and in the United Kingdom on October 2, 1980, by Warner Bros. There were several versions for theatrical releases, each of which was cut shorter than the one preceding it; about 27 minutes were cut in total. Reactions to the film at the time of its release were mixed; Stephen King criticized the film due to its deviations from the novel. Critical opinion has become more favorable, with the film now widely considered one of the greatest and most influential horror films ever made and a staple of pop culture. In 2018, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Thirty-nine years later, a sequel, Doctor Sleep, was released on November 8, 2019.

The Shining (1980) - IMDb

“Heeere’s Johnny!”

Prepare to enter a ghostly time warp of madness and murder in The Shining. This thriller tells the story of Jack Torrance, a writer and unemployed teacher who signs on as winter caretaker at an isolated Colorado hotel. Hoping that the arrangement will cure his writer's block and help repair his family life, Jack settles in with his wife and son, who is soon tormented by psychic premonitions. As Jack’s writing goes nowhere and his son’s visions become more and more disturbing, the man begins to unravel into a homicidal maniac bent on scaring his family to death.

Trivia

Stephen King got the idea for the original story during a family vacation at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.

Jack Nicholson ad-libbed the infamous movie line, “Heeere’s Johnny!”

Six-year-old Danny Lloyd was so protected during filming that he didn’t realize he was making a horror movie. He didn’t see the uncut version of the film until 11 years after it was made.

The snowy maze at the end of the film was made using 900 tons of salt and crushed Styrofoam.

The Shining was one of the first movies to be filmed using the Steadicam (a camera stabilizer invented by Garrett Brown).

Ishod Na Meti:

"Tačka i Duž" 

Nije propao još jedan dan,

Prošla je misaona vizita, sve je isto kao i juče,

Viskoki napon u prstima, šetaš u krugovima,

Ima te, nema te,

Misliš i deluješ, misliš i nestaješ,

Malopre je prošla vrućina, sada ti je zima i mrkli je mrak,

Ti si potpuno sama…

Ništa od igre, to nije tvoje kolo,

Misli mirno, misli apstraktno,

Nula je večnost u nizu beskonačnosti,

Jedinica to sam ja, dva to si ti, tri to smo mi,

Zločin i kazna, crno i belo, vidljivo i nevidljivo,

Misli dalje neobuzdano,

Prava linija je prostor, kriva linija je vreme,

Tačka i duž... od mene - ka tebi - do njega…na dalje…

Exhibition, Book of Lithographs , Music Edition: David Lynch - "The Air Is On Fire" (2007) | Book & Music Album | "l'Art Contemporain" Exhibition, Series of Lithographs, Music Edition

The first major collection of artwork by the acclaimed movie director David Lynch.

Spanning a period of forty years, David Lynch's widely respected films and television series include Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive. However, his prolific visual art production, which began even before his films, has rarely been seen.

This catalogue of his artistic output, published on the occasion of a large-scale exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, covers a wide variety of disciplines: painting, photography, drawings, sculpture, furniture, music, and "moving pictures." His art echoes his films in theme and aesthetic, yet offers viewers a fresh and more intimate glimpse into his singular universe. The book also contains several essays that analyze his artworks, as well as a conversation with Lynch, interviewed within the context of the show. 469 illustrations in color.

The Air Is on Fire was a retrospective on the art work of artist and filmmaker David Lynch using themes from his childhood, adolescent, and adult life. It ran from the February 24 to May 27, 2007 at the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain in Paris. The exhibition was also presented in 2009 in Moscow, Russia, updated with a series of lithographs made in 2007–8.

The Air Is on Fire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The exhibition was later shown at Gl Strand in Copenhagen, Denmark from September 26, 2010 to January 16, 2011.

The soundscape accompanying the exhibition was released as a CD in 2007. It was subsequently reissued on vinyl through Sacred Bone Records on the Record Store Day of 2014
