Great sports scenes in film

Most of these are available to view online but for copyright reasons we have included only the official trailers. It is obviously very much a subjective evaluation so please feel free to nominate your own favourites in either category in the comments section. 1. Strangers on a Train Tennis could have been peripheral to the plot of Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train, deployed solely to define the essential wholesomeness of Farley Granger’s conflicted Guy Haines to contrast with the immoral, manipulative, ultimately psychotic charm of Robert Walker’s Bruno Antony. And yet it plays an integral role in this beguiling thriller’s climax, making Haines’ anxiety infectious to the audience as he scurries desperately to win a tennis match at Forest Hills in time to thwart Antony framing him for the murder of Haines’ wife. Hitchcock combines long shots from Davis Cup matches between USA and Australia with close-ups, alternating between the viewpoints of Haines and his opponent. This is cross-cut with scenes of Antony’s frustrations and delays en route to the murder scene where he intends to plant the incriminating evidence. Trailer – https://goo.gl/zKqWbW 2. Raging Bull If the entire film sometimes feels like an oxymoronic fusion of grace and barbarity, no scene exemplifies it more than the ‘Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre’, the culmination of the sixth fight between Jake La Motta and Sugar Ray Robinson in 1951. When the bell signals the start of the 13th round Robert De Niro’s La Motta is subjected to a fearsome onslaught. Johnny Barnes, as Robinson, pulverises his face with savagely quick combinations until exhaustion congeals both men to a standstill. For a few...

Documentary filmmakers fear more legal challenges in Trump era

by | Dec 20, 2016 | documentary |

A FEW DAYS AFTER Donald Trump was elected president, a respected documentary film director met with a roomful of potential backers and distributors in New York City. The director was making a film about questionable contributions to Republican political campaigns, a hot topic given the election. The men and women in the room were riveted by the stirring trailer that captured the drama and enthused over the unusually close access to the subjects. The cinematography was terrific. One-by-one, they pledged money for production and to get word out to festivals. The filmmaker was thrilled, but also was looking for a bigger commitment. “We’re seeking lawyers,” the filmmaker said. “Pro bono legal resources. We think we might encounter opposition.” Those present asked that specifics about the meeting, and the film, be withheld to keep potential litigants from catching wind of the project. These concerns are not paranoia. Just the threat of a lawsuit, no matter how baseless, can tie a film up in court and deplete its maker’s savings. And it’s a silencing tactic that deep-pocketed political and corporate interests are wielding with greater frequency. Some of the hardest-hitting documentaries in recent years have been forced to delay release or cough up hefty fees for attorneys, among them Bananas!, a 2009 documentary about Nicaraguan plantation workers for Dole Food Co. who were sickened by a pesticide banned in the US; Citizenfour, which followed Edward Snowden as he began to leak documents about US surveillance programs; and Crude, which dealt with a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against Chevron Corp. that claimed the oil giant despoiled the Amazonian jungle in Ecuador. Many in the...
