J M Barrie's funeral
Переглядів 1,6 тис.4 роки тому
J M Barrie's funeral, as recorded by Movietone News, followed by a few mute shots from Pathe's newsreel, which I found in the National Archives back in 1976 but minus any sound-track. The Movietone narrator says that "Barrie's coffin is followed by among other friends Peter Davies, who inspired the character of Peter Pan" - how Peter's toes must have curled at that, not least because we're actu...
Movietone Tribute to Sir James Barrie
Переглядів 2834 роки тому
This Movietone tribute to Barrie must have been thrown together at speed. Rather than going back to their negatives, the Movietone editors simply chopped out bits from earlier newsreel prints. This explains why chunks are missing from the Thomas Hardy statue newsreel as well as Barrie's visit to Kirriemuir in 1930 - see Movietone's clip below: ua-cam.com/video/jmRBhHiPWvw/v-deo.html I wasted an...

J M Barrie at a coffee stall in 1922
Переглядів 4504 роки тому
This was Nico's favourite clip: Barrie at 2 o'clock in the morning, drinking a cup of coffee at an all-night coffee stall on the Thames Embankment, a few hundred yards from his Adelphi Terrace flat. He was spotted by an intrepid camerman who was out filming night life revellers at the same coffee stall. I found it by chance in 1976 while rooting through an unsorted box of film clips at Pathe a...

On 7 June 1930, Barrie was awarded the Freedom of Kirriemuir, his old home town in Scotland, when he presented the town with a splendid stone-built cricket pavilion.

Great Ideas of the 20th Century: Peter Pan
Переглядів 8734 роки тому
This is a piece I wrote for a TV series called Great Ideas of the 20th Century back in 1993. I uploaded it years ago, but for some reason only a few minutes ever made it to UA-cam, so here's the whole 15-minute thing for what it's worth.

In early 1986 I was briefly working in Rome with Jean-Jacques Annaud, and visited the vast abbey set that was being constructed about twenty miles outside the city, where I shot this video. In sheer size, it was second only to the Roman forum built for "Cleopatra" (1963) as being the largest film set ever constructed anywhere in Europe. Unlike the Cleopatra set, much of it was composite, meanin...

    This is really one of the most remarkable biopics ever made. The sensitivity, empathy and lack of judgement with which Barrie is portrayed while not shying away from the strangeness of his relationship to the Llewelyn Davies family is truly remarkable. Ian Holm's portrayal feels so genuine it hurts. The subtlety and depth of this trilogy feels more like a particularly good novel. Screenwriters today could learn so much for this - leave sensationalism aside and treat your subjects like the real human beings they were.

    I'm rewatching The Lost Boys. It's been quite a few years, but I'm crying once again. It's not just the remarkable turn of events. AB's words and the cast's acting...I don't know - I can just feel their pain/joy in life and through death. The magnificent dialogues cause me to write myself, but this miniseries has me not only write creatively, but read creatively. AB's script, of course, is poetic in heart as well as connections - lovely and lyrical. I also read the quiet moments. The actor's expressions are beautiful. Ian Holm's gazes are powerful (the one that really hits me is when he's looking out the window just upon Arthur's death). And the time passing. Wow. Just wow. The red hat, captain swarthy's hung on the trees, Porthos' absence, empty roots. Time changing things. When I watch young George (Barnaby Holm) look up at the sky and later Barrie notice George again, older doing the same, I am reminded of Anno Birkin's poem (which was actually read by Barnaby Holm on the audio version of Anno's book - Who Said the Race is Over?) It goes like this: "I want to know permanent things. The whole world is constantly changing and dying and being born. I wish I had thoughts that were warm and were clear like the mornings. These summer days have me in mourning dress, touching my head to my sex to my breasts, wishing for Westerly winds that will bring me some fear in religion. Let the spring of my faith now begin." I could imagine the characters creatively reading themselves in this poem. Xx

I can't say it blew me away, but I thought it was very good. Great battle scenes, and I thought the relationship between him and Josephine was nicely played, although I haven't researched the real Josephine ... Hope you're well? James.

      Yes, the accuracy and feel of reality is wonderful. The actors do an amazing job. The actor playing Michael Davies speaks volumes with just his facial expressions alone in the introduction scene, doing a brilliant and subtle expression of how surprised and offended he is about how rude and obviously disapproving Jack is of their relationship. The actor playing Roger Senhouse is great as well, and I particularly like his emotional expression (and what seems to be his parting shot, the unnecessarily loud “goodbye, Jack!”).
