Madrid 1987 Movie English Subtitles 19
Ted Brathwaite
Curious question. A buddy and I are going to see Shang chi tonight at a local cinema. I knew to look for a showing that said VOSE due to some research on here but it just dawned on me that they speak mandarin in the movie as well. Will they show the original English subtitles along with the Spanish ones? Going to watch it regardless but hoping to not miss out on a big chunk of it due to that. Thanks in advance!
CINEART Spain welcomes the summer with the screening of the steamy Madrid, 1987, directed by David Trueba, at Spectacle Theater. The film was a success at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012 and has been a favorite among attendees of the Festival of New Spanish Cinema. Spectacle is a community screening space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, established and staffed entirely by volunteers. Their programming encompasses overlooked works, offbeat gems, contemporary art, radical polemics, live performance, and more.
Madrid, 1987 is a 2011 Spanish drama film written and directed by David Trueba. It stars José Sacristán as an old, bitter journalist who attempts to seduce a young journalism student played by María Valverde. It premiered at the 2011 San Sebastián International Film Festival.
In 1987, Miguel, an old and bitter journalist, agrees to meet with Ángela, an idealistic young journalism student, for an interview at a local restaurant. Ángela has missed many of her lectures and needs to write an essay; she has chosen to use Miguel as her subject. Throughout the interview, Miguel expresses his contempt for idealism and style. When he reads a sample of Ángela's writing, Miguel dismisses much of it, though he says that she is talented. He asks to keep the sample and invites Ángela to his friend Luis' house. Miguel explains that Luis will be gone until Monday, and they will have the place to themselves. She agrees, and they continue their discussions there over whiskey. Miguel walks over Luis' paintings, and, when Ángela objects, he says that Luis would prefer them to be marred by life and experience. Miguel alternates between cynical advice and derisively ridiculing romantic notions of journalism. Miguel says there are too many layers of glasses between them, he takes off Ángela's eyeglasses and kisses her. She accepts the kiss reluctantly with annoyed expression on her face. Soon, he enters the bedroom and point blank asks Ángela to strip naked. When she balks, he tells her that he has been true to his nature and never hidden his motives. When she turns to leave, Miguel stops her and says that he hopes she will one day respect him for his boldness.
Madrid, 1987 premiered 22 September 2011 at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.[1] The international premiere was at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.[4] Breaking Glass Pictures released it on home video on 26 February 2013.[5]
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 86% of seven surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 6.6/10.[6] Metacritic rated it 61/100 based on seven reviews.[7] Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald rated it 3.5/4 stars and called it "an engrossing study of generational clash inside a locked bathroom."[8] Jonathan Holland of Variety called it a "perceptive" and "ultra-wordy" film that will mostly appeal to Spanish art-house audiences.[9] Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "The actors give their characters a resonance beyond the symbolic, but the action doesn't quite transcend the stagy setup."[10] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "An engrossing two-hander combining the smart-talk microcosm of My Dinner With Andre and the sexual dynamics of a Philip Roth novel, David Trueba's Madrid, 1987 is more universal than its title suggests and holds a strong art house appeal."[11] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called it a "sweet, sometimes dull and certainly overlong film".[12] Fionnuala Halligan of Screen Daily wrote, "It is, in fact, hard to think of a movie less cinematic than Madrid, 1987" and stated that it might make a better play than film.[13] Ollie Coen of DVD Talk rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "For an artsy movie about two people stuck naked in a bathroom together, you could do much worse. [...] It has a lot to say about youth, love, idealism, sex, and life in general."[5]
In his intervention, Alexander Cutajar (representing EuroClio), first made a case for using moving images in the history classroom. To an audience composed mainly of broadcast archivists, it was pointed out how education has moved to embrace multi-modal formats (e.g., text, image, sound, speech). Then Alexander spoke about the educational gains of using moving images in terms of student engagement and the learning of historical substantive and procedural knowledge. Placing the discussion in a wider context, Alexander argued for the importance of students being critical with moving images in order to eliminate habits of passive viewing and help them become visually-literate, which is an important objective of a history education. Against this background, and keeping copyright issues in mind, Alexander discussed features of a best-case scenario: teachers using an online platform with a repository of moving images, of a short duration (5-10 min), preferable downloadable and with English subtitles. Teachers would pause the moving images to allow for classroom discussions and have students making annotations on a screenshot. Taking on board these suggestions, Historiana would present teachers with a hybrid online tool, where they can use moving images alongside printed material.
For instance, al-Zawahiri's tape contained English subtitles. And earlier this month, officials believe American-born Adam Gadahn appeared on a videotape, praising the attacks on London and Madrid, Spain, and threatening future ones in Los Angeles, California, and Melbourne, Australia.
Cine Cena evenings at Espai EGG combine cinema screenings with food inspired by the film. This edition features Pedro Almodóvar's 'Todo Sobre Mi Madre' (All About My Mother). A Greek saying states that only women who have washed their eyes with tears can see clearly. This saying does not hold true for Manuela. The night a car ran over her son Esteban, Manuela cried until her eyes ran completely dry. Far from seeing clearly, the present and the future become mixed up in darkness and she begins looking for her father who has become a woman. The film is shown in its original language with English subtitles.
Price per person includes a main dish, dessert, and your first glass of wine. Craft beer and biodynamic wine available at mates' rates. Food by Bear on Bike. Space is limited to 16 diners, so reservations are required.

ALTALENA:
1994, 54 min, 2", Color, B/W, Some Hebrew w/English subtitles H,U,G
The startling story of the ship which nearly caused a civil war in the newborn state of Israel. The Altalena sailed in June 1948 from France, carrying over 900 refugees from WWII along with a large amount of arms and ammunition. The arrival of the ship during an Israeli initiated cease-fire in the war of 1948 with neighboring Arab countries posed serious problems: its landing would be a breach of the new government's international commitment and the munitions on board that Israel needed were considered a threat by the opposition for a possible coup d'etat. Directed by Ilana Tsur.
ARABS AND THE WEST: (Part V of The Arab World):
1991, 30 min., 2", Color, U,G.
Bill Moyers hosts a post-Gulf War interview with noted scholar Charles Issawi, who is professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton and past officer of the Egyptian Ministry of Finance and the United Nations. Despite the video's title, most of Moyers' questions deal with Islam and Muslims. He asks the standard issue questions, i.e. What do fundamentalists want? Which is the stronger unifying force: being Arab or being Muslim? and so on. Issawi's answers dispel basic false assumptions about Arabs and Muslims, such as the myth that pan-Arabism or pan-Islamism are anti-Western forces sweeping across the Middle East. Overall, however, much is left undiscussed and Moyers' questions are oddly ahistorical . [AGF] Produced by Public Affairs Television.
BUDRUS
2009, 82 min., Color, Arabic, Hebrew & English w/English subtitles.
Budrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about a Palestinian community organizer, Ayed Morrar, who unites local Fatah and Hamas members along with Israeli supporters in an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women's contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring, yet little-known, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. In an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolence to confront a threat.
