Robin Hood

By Ridley Scott

Films

The plot Taken from Empireonline.com 1199. As Richard The Lionheart (Danny Huston) returns from the Third Crusade, both he and his right-hand man, Robert Loxley (Douglas Hodge), are slain in France. It‟s left to one of their archers, Robin Longstride (Russel Crowe), to return Richard‟s crown to London and Loxley‟s sword to Nottingham. There, compelled to pose as Loxley, Longstride finds himself embroiled in Plantagenet politics - and has to tackle a French plot abetted by the traitorous Sir Godfrey (Alex Strong).

Not About Robin Hood at All Taken from Film.com The interesting thing is the way in which Robin Hood fails: by being too long, too illogical, too silly, and most damningly by not really are slain – vengono uccisi; tackle – affrontare; abetted – favoreggiata, incitata; damningly – colpevolmente

being about Robin Hood, at least not the one you're familiar with. It's a shocking turn of events given the pedigree of everyone involved. This version of Robin Hood centers around Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe). He's an archer in Richard the Lionheart's marauding army. The opening scenes are quite lovely; Ridley Scott remains a visual master. The film jumps around from Longstride's travels to Marion's Nottingham and back to matters of state in London. It's an ambitious script in that Robin isn't really the main character (there isn't one). Robin Hood is supposed to be about him running around in the forest, isn't it? This story isn't. It's about politics, and war, and Anglo-Franco relations. It's almost purposefully not about anything you've ever seen attributed to Robin Hood. The film is pretty, and there are a few solid moments every hour. But considered as a work of cinema, with paid professionals involved, it's an extremely lackluster story.

Ridley and Russell go Robin-robbing Taken from Totalfilm.com Seen Gladiator? Highlander? Braveheart? Any of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy? How about Troy? 300? King Arthur? Kingdom Of Heaven? If you nodded off for at least half of those, then you really don‟t need to see Ridley Scott‟s turgid and joyless take on the outlaw icon. marauding – predatoria; purposefully – intenzionalmente, deliberatamente; lackluster – poco interessante, opaca; if you nodded off – se vi siete appisolati

Robin Hood is a redundant frankenstein-movie stitched together from embarrassingly recognisable riffs from other – mostly better – mud „n blood epics. After the well-documented script tussles, Scott has settled on the slowly tale of how 12th century soldier Robin Longstride (Crowe) rises from sullen, dead-eye archer to all-round leader of unshaven men and smiter of tyranny and corruption wherever it may dwell. At first, it seems the source of tyranny and corruption is the pantomime-villain Sheriff of Nottingham (Macfadyen). But he turns out to be just a pawn in the bigger game of tyranny and corruption played by the petulant King John (Isaac). And then his shameless tyranny and corruption is soon usurped by the underhand tyranny and corruption of multilingual turncoat Sir Godfrey (Mark Strong). The battles are so bland, the action so transparently choreographed and the characters so interchangeable, it‟s never clear who to root for or what to care about. The choice mostly comes down to either „Bad guy hit by an arrow. Good!‟ or „Good guy hit by an arrow. Bad!‟ Crowe seems happy to coast. For an actor of his ability, it‟s criminal that no director has stretched him since Peter Weir in 2003‟s Master And Commander. In some scenes, he‟s grizzled and mumbling and inscrutable. In others, he just aims for inscrutable and goes easy on the grizzled, with maybe a little mumbling for good measure. Kevin Reynolds‟ Anglophilic, Costner-starring 1991 version of the Hood story is easy meat for sneering purists. But at least it‟s fun and frothy and isn‟t afraid to revel in antihero folklore. stitched – cucito; riffs – motivi; tussles – confonde; sullen – svogliato; smiter – sbaragliatore; pawn – pedina; sneering – ghignanti; frothy – spumoso

Robin Hood: one star and half Taken from Slantmagazine.com According to one of Robin Hood's opening title cards, and to Sir Robin Longstride (Russell Crowe) himself, the outlaw takes his place in history in times of tyranny. That sort of recycled philosophical wisdom typifies this new film about the mythic Robin Hood's life and times, filling it to its mice-infested rafters. Though realistically ancient-looking, this burly but sluggish production takes very obvious pains to engage with the myth of Robin Hood in a way that it conforms to modern political biases. Robin Hood is mostly a triumph of costume design and art direction. Yes, there's a real sense here for the look of the story's Medieval setting that doesn't feel kitschy or overwrought, and Helgeland's script carefully, subtly even, links key historical flashpoints from the time period, but the story's evocation of the economic troubles and political backbiting that allowed for Robin Hood's rise to infamy is still elementarily drawn. There's no patience or sincere regard for the strife of the poor, no commiseration for the horrors inflicted on them by Nottingham's dastardly sheriff. What most registers on screen is the manner in which the arrow-flinging Robin Hood can, through superhuman ingenuity (which is to say, the powers of CGI), hit his arterial targets from Olympian distances. wisdom – saggezza; rafters – travi; burly – corpulenta, muscolosa; sluggish – apatica, lenta; biases – pregiudizi; strife – conflitto, dissenso; dastardly – ignobile

quotes

Reading - Curiosity

A day without laughter is a day wasted. To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it! To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune. A man's true character comes out when he's drunk. What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning. A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure. All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl. wasted – sprecato; drunk – ubriaco; tramp – barbone, pezzente

Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference. Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself. I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man. I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born. I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician. I suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment. I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. Everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large. I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth. I'd sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch. Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot. despair – disperazione; lulls – culla; to make a fool of – prendersi gioco di; fully – completamente; baggy – larghi; cane – bastone; derby hat – bombetta (cappello); crook – truffatore, criminale

Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded. Movies are a fad. Audiences really want to see live actors on a stage. Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury. This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose. I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career. prodded – spronato, pungolato; fad – capriccio, moda; wicked – cattivo, malizioso; cope with – farcela, sopravvivere

Cameron and

Clegg:

a very British

revolution

Focus On

Published: May 13, 2010 By Timesonline.com David Cameron and Nick Clegg have introduced Britain to a radical new political landscape as they commit their parties to a five-year marriage of consensual government. The Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister ushered in an era of “new politics” as they promised a stable and durable coalition to take the country in an “historic new direction”. The scale of their revolution became clear as the Conservative and Liberal Democrat leaders staged a remarkable show of jovial but determined unity in the Downing Street rose garden. Fresh from handing five Cabinet jobs to Lib Dems, including two key economic ushered in – hanno inaugurato; staged – hanno allestito

portfolios, and planning to give Mr Clegg a minister in every department, Mr Cameron vowed to place the national interest above party interest and co-operation above confrontation. “Compromise, give and take, reasonable, civilised, grown-up behaviour is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength,” he said. Mr Clegg said that there would be “bumps and scrapes” along the way as two parties with different instincts joined themselves at the hip for an experiment that risks angering right-wing Tories and left-wing Liberal Democrats. He added that both leaders had taken “big risks” in going into full-blown coalition, but he insisted: “This is a government that will last.” Yet in the May sunshine, on resplendent Downing Street lawns, an improbable lightness accompanied the serious business of turning Britain around. At times, the pair were refreshingly self-deprecating, Mr Cameron pulling a comic grimace and Mr Clegg making to walk off as a journalist reminded them that the Tory leader had once answered “Nick Clegg” when asked for his favourite joke. The image of the pair setting up a vast tent in the centre ground of British politics poses a serious question for Labour, for which David Miliband, the former Foreign Secretary, launched his leadership campaign. The Lib-Con arrangement rewrites the Westminster rulebook and means the previously unimaginable becoming commonplace: Mr Clegg will stand in for Mr Cameron at Prime Minister‟s Questions if he is away; vowed – ha giurato, si è impegnato; weakness – debolezza;bumps – urti, botte;scrapes – graffi;hip – fianco; lawns – prati; grimace – smorfia; rulebook – regolamento

and a Tory chief whip will demand discipline from Liberal Democrat MPs. But some issues will test Mr Cameron‟s definition of grown-up government. Collective Cabinet responsibility has had to be suspended over some intractable policy disagreements. Lib Dems will be allowed to abstain from votes on Tory tax breaks for married couples and higher tuition fees. A Lib Dem spokesman can speak out against plans for a new generation of nuclear power stations. The parties will contest Westminster by-elections as usual, even though their candidates will be defending the same government record. “I hope people will find it relatively unsurprising relatively quickly,” said Mr Clegg. Downing Street published a seven-page document showing how both sides had knitted their manifestos into a programme for government. whip – parlamentare incaricato di assicurarsi della presenza dei membri del suo partito alle votazioni; tuition fees – tasse scolastiche; knitted – steso (lett. lavorato a maglia)

Discoveries and Revolutions

Cambridge University History

The best-known colleges The University of Cambridge is the second oldest university in England and the fourth oldest in Europe. It owes much to "town and gown" troubles at Oxford University. In 1209 scholars and masters escaping troubles between the university and townsfolk in Oxford began arriving in Cambridge. By 1226 the scholars had organized themselves, offered regular courses of study, and named a Chancellor to lead them. The first great boost to the formation of a university came from Henry III, who gave the scholars his support as early as 1231. Henry decreed that only students studying under a recognised Master were allowed to remain in Cambridge. scholars – studiosi; masters – professori; townsfolk – cittadinanza; boost – spinta

Discoveries and Revolutions Many of the most important scientific discoveries and revolutions were made by Cambridge alumni. These include: - Understanding the scientific method, by Francis Bacon; - The laws of motion, by Sir Isaac Newton; - The discovery of the electron, by J. J. Thomson; - The splitting of the atom by Sir J. Cockcroft and E. Walton; - The unification of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell; - The discovery of hydrogen, by Henry Cavendish; - Evolution by natural selection, by Charles Darwin; - The Turing machine, a basic model for computation, by Alan Turing; - The structure of DNA, by Francis Crick and James D. Watson; - Pioneering quantum mechanics, by Paul Dirac.

Cambridge University History A standard course of study consisted of grammar, logic, rhetoric, mathematics, music, geometry, and astronomy. Rules and regulations governing behaviour and awarding of degrees were not codified until the mid 13th century. These clergy were originally under the authority of the local ecclesiastical authority, represented by the Bishop of Ely. By the mid 15th century, however, the Chancellor of the University had taken over much of this authority, and heard cases involving discipline and morals. The Chancellor also set up a secular court for scholars, to hear cases involving minor crimes. Like Oxford, Cambridge experienced a fair share of trouble between townsfolk and scholars. splitting – scissione; clergy – clero; bishop – vescovo; fair – congrua, giusta; share – porzione

Both sides were protective of their unique rights and privileges. The university had the right to enforce laws regulating the quality of bread and ale sold in the town, and to monitor rates charged for food, fuel, and candles. In 1381 tension between the town and university exploded into violence, with attacks on university property throughout Cambridge. The result was that even more civil authority was awarded to the University Chancellor. From the 13th century private teaching institutions, the forerunners of today's colleges, were established: Peterhouse (1284) was the first college, but others soon followed. Several prominent colleges were founded in the years following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, taking over former religious foundations. A royal charter in 1534 gave the university the right to print books, though this right was only infrequently exercised until the late 17th century. From the 1690s Cambridge University Press enjoyed prominent status as an academic press, encouraged by the monopoly in Bible printing it shared with Oxford. The university continued to expand, both physically and in focus of studies. The foundation of the Fitzwilliam Museum and the University Botanical Gardens, to name just two, opened the way for study of art, architecture, and botany at Cambridge. In 2009 Cambridge was the world's top university. The University's alumni include 87 Nobel Laureates as of 2010.

largest college in Cambridge. Its eclectic list of past students includes famous names like Sir Isaac Newton, Wittgenstein, Tennyson, Bertrand Russell, Nabokov and Prince Charles. QUEENS' COLLEGE Dates back to 1448, and one of its most photographed features is its Mathematical Bridge, so-called because it was allegedly constructed on mathematical grounds so that it would stand without needing bolts and nails. The one there today is a 1902 copy of the 18th-century original which unfortunately has not survived. CHRIST'S COLLEGE Founded in 1505, and with a beautiful courtyard, two of its most famous students were the poet Milton, author of Paradise Lost, and Charles Darwin, author of The Origin of Species. JESUS COLLEGE Founded in 1496, Jesus College is slightly out of the centre and Jesus Green is a popular open spot. The college itself is well worth seeing, retaining some of the atmosphere of its early days. EMMANUEL COLLEGE American visitors will want to see the chapel window with its portrait of John Harvard, who studied here before going off to America in the 1630s, later to found Harvard University. Emmanuel itself was founded in 1584 and parts were designed by Sir Christopher Wren. allegedly – presumibilmente; bolts – bulloni; nails – chiodi courtyard – cortile

Car Bomb in

Times Square

Focus On

Published: May 1, 2010 By New York Times A crude car bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks was discovered in a smoking Nissan Pathfinder in the heart of Times Square on Saturday evening, prompting the evacuation of thousands of tourists and theatergoers on a warm and busy night. Although the device had apparently started to detonate, there was no explosion, and early on Sunday the authorities were still seeking a suspect and motive. “We are very lucky,” Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said at a 2:15 a.m. press conference. “We avoided what could have been a very deadly event.” A large swath of Midtown - from 43rd Street to 48th Street, and from Sixth to Eighth Avenues - was closed for much of the evening after the Pathfinder was discovered just off Broadway on 45th Street. Several theaters and stores, as well as the South Tower of the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, were evacuated.

Mr. Bloomberg was joined by Gov. David A. Paterson, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and other officials at the early morning press conference to give a chronology of the vehicle‟s discovery, its disarming, and the investigation that has been launched. The mayor and police commissioner had returned early from the annual White House correspondents‟ dinner in Washington. At 6:28 p.m., Mr. Kelly said, a video surveillance camera recorded what was believed to be the dark green Nissan S.U.V. driving west on 45th Street. Moments later, a T-shirt vendor on the sidewalk saw smoke coming out of vents near the back seat of the S.U.V., which was now parked awkwardly at the curb with its engine running and its hazard lights on. The vendor called to a mounted police officer, the mayor said, who smelled gunpowder when he approached the S.U.V. and called for assistance. The police began evacuating Times Square, starting with businesses along Seventh Avenue, including a Foot Locker store and a McDonald‟s. Police officers from the emergency service unit and firefighters flooded the area and were troubled by the hazard lights and running engine, and by the fact that the S.U.V. was oddly angled in the street. At this point, a firefighter from Ladder 4 reported hearing several “pops” from within the vehicle. The police also learned that the Pathfinder had the wrong license plates on it. Members of the Police Department‟s bomb squad donned protective gear, broke the Pathfinder‟s back windows and sent in a “robotic device” to “observe” it, said Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne, the police department‟s chief spokesman. Inside, they discovered three canisters of propane like those used for barbecue grills, two five-gallon cans of gasoline, consumer-

grade fireworks - the apparent source of the “pops” - and two clocks with batteries, the mayor said. He said the device “looked amateurish.” Mr. Browne said: “It appeared it was in the process of detonating, but it malfunctioned.” Bomb squad officers also discovered a two-by-two-by-four-foot metal box - described as a “gun locker” - in the S.U.V. that was taken to the Police Department‟s firing range at Rodman‟s Neck in the Bronx to be destroyed, Mr. Kelly said. It was not immediately known what, if anything, was inside it. Officials said they had no reports of anyone seen running from the vehicle. Times Square on a Saturday night is one of the busiest and most populated locations in the city, and has long been seen as a likely target for some kind of attack.

Interview

Studenti e metodo Shenker promossi a pieni voti.

- Massimiliano Salogni, 36 anni, impiegato tecnico, Bergamasco.

- Rocco Aprile, 45 anni, dirigente nella Pubblica Amministrazione,

Toscano.

Abbiamo messo alla prova due persone diverse tra loro, sia per età

che per collocazione geografica. Unico punto in comune: sono

entrambi Shenkeriani. Obiettivo raggiunto: 100.

Cosa è cambiato nella sua vita grazie a Shenker?

- Salogni: Shenker mi ha permesso di viaggiare senza problemi,

migliorando la qualità di comprensione della lingua, soprattutto in

ambito lavorativo. Per questo ancora oggi frequento, per la sesta

volta, nonostante sia arrivato al livello massimo del 100, un corso

Shenker: sto „affinando‟ il mio inglese grazie alle Language

Activation.

- Aprile: Shenker mi ha aiutato moltissimo nel lavoro. Il 30% della

mia attività richiede una spiccata conoscenza della lingua inglese.

La mia esigenza è stata fin da subito quella di finalizzare ciò che

faccio in ambito nazionale all‟interno di un contesto Europeo.

Si ricorda il risultato del suo Assessment Test e di

conseguenza il livello di partenza?

- Salogni: Sono partito dal livello 0 nel 1998 a 29 anni. In quattro

anni sono riuscito a raggiungere il mio obiettivo.

- Aprile: Ho iniziato il primo corso Shenker a Roma in via Sistina

nel 1999 partendo dal livello 10. Ho sospeso poi per un anno prima

di ricominciare a Piombino. Proprio lì ho raggiunto il livello 90,

mentre nella sede di piazza di Spagna ho ultimato il metodo.

Cosa l’ha spinta ad iscriversi a una scuola di inglese:

necessità lavorative o arricchimento personale?

- Salogni: Inizialmente motivato dal desiderio di parlare inglese

per esigenze personali. Mi sono accorto solo in seguito che questo

ha apportato dei grossi cambiamenti anche nel mio lavoro.

- Aprile: Ho scelto il metodo Shenker per necessità lavorative,

dovendo tradurre lunghe documentazioni in lingua originale e

partecipare a meeting internazionali.

Una situazione limite in cui l’Inglese l’ha salvata…

- Salogni: Il mio primo viaggio in Irlanda nel 1999, un anno dopo

aver frequentato il primo corso Shenker. Il volo pianificato per

Dublino ha cambiato destinazione. Grazie all‟inglese parlato sono

riuscito, una volta sceso dall‟aereo, a trovare un mezzo di trasporto

che mi portasse alla mia meta.

- Aprile: Ha migliorato notevolmente la qualità del mio lavoro, e ho

detto tutto! Mi sono iscritto proprio per questo.

Quando si è sentito veramente padrone della lingua?

- Salogni: Non ci si sente mai veramente padroni della lingua. Il

metodo Shenker ha però il merito di farmi parlare in inglese con

naturalezza. Per questo ho deciso di rendere ancora più limpida la

mia pronuncia attraverso Language Activation.

- Aprile: Avverto ogni giorno dei miglioramenti. Avendo studiato a

scuola il francese e avendo svolto soltanto brevi corsi di inglese

all‟estero, mi sono trovato a ricorrere al metodo per apprenderlo nel

migliore dei modi. Ora riesco a esprimermi con naturalezza.

I meriti del metodo Shenker?

- Salogni: Riesce a farti esprimere in inglese in poco tempo. Se

riesco a guardare film in lingua originale, leggere i giornali di altri

paesi o comprendere i testi delle canzoni che ascolto è tutto merito

di questo metodo.

- Aprile: È impegnativo ma non „stressante‟. Si adatta

perfettamente a chi svolge una attività di lavoro piuttosto

impegnativa. Non richiede un grande sforzo mentale poiché il corso

è interamente guidato e precisamente strutturato. Bisogna solo

adeguarsi a questo tipo di impostazione. A differenza di altre scuole

non occorre, infatti, individuare da soli quali sono le parti più

importanti di altre, ma attraverso il materiale e il supporto costante

degli insegnanti il percorso risulta facile e lineare. Shenker con

l‟ascolto dei cd ti segue ovunque: nelle pause lavorative, in metro,

in auto, nei viaggi. La fonetica è poi la grande differenza.

Quante ore settimanali dedica al suo studio?

- Salogni: Tante, ma non sono mai abbastanza. Ho sempre

studiato regolarmente per un‟ora e mezza circa al giorno…

- Aprile: Sei ore settimanali in tutto. Ogni occasione è buona per

ascoltare le lezioni ed esercitarmi.

Il corso che ha amato di più (1°, 2°, 3° o 4°)?

- Salogni: Sicuramente l‟ultimo, poiché ho iniziato ad acquisire

maggiore sicurezza derivante dalla padronanza della lingua. E poi

Language Activation: un toccasana per mantenere alto il livello.

- Aprile: Il quarto. In questa fase ho acquisito più elementi,

arricchendo il mio vocabolario personale con molte più espressioni.

Ci si sente più sicuri, avvicinandosi a quello che è l‟inglese

veramente parlato.

Tornasse indietro a che età inizierebbe a ‘chiedere aiuto’ a

Shenker per il suo Inglese?

- Salogni: Il prima possibile. Ho consigliato questo metodo anche

ad altre persone. Tuttora 3 miei colleghi di lavoro seguono i vostri

corsi.

- Aprile: Inizierei da adolescente. Quello Shenker è secondo me un

metodo adatto anche a coloro che hanno 11 anni e possono

tranquillamente iniziare dal primo corso. Proprio da giovani si riesce

ad assimilarlo meglio.

Shenker in una parola…

- Salogni: È un metodo funzionale. Va sicuramente studiato ma

regala delle grandi soddisfazioni. I risultati sono certi. E si sente!

The Shenkerian

June 2010

25

- Aprile: È sinonimo di metodologia strutturata. Apprendimento

dell‟inglese in maniera scientifica che consente allo studente di non

fare alcuno sforzo. Ogni lezione è un valore aggiunto alle nozioni

che hai appreso in precedenza. Con il metodo Shenker migliori ogni

giorno la qualità dell‟inglese parlato, grazie ai docenti, all‟ascolto e

al supporto essenziale della fonetica. La lingua viene infatti

assimilata attraverso le espressioni tipiche del linguaggio parlato in

tutta la Gran Bretagna.
