The Pied Piper is a 1972 British musical fantasy film directed by Jacques Demy and starring Jack Wild, Donald Pleasence and John Hurt and featuring Donovan (who also composed music for the film) and Diana Dors.[2] It is loosely based on the legend of the Pied Piper.[3]
Germany, 1349. As the Black Death looms, the little town of Hamelin hires a pied piper (Donovan) to lure the rats away with his magic instrument. When the town refuses to pay, the Piper turns his power on their children.
The Pied Piper is a 1942 American film in which an Englishman on vacation in France is caught up in the German invasion of that country, and finds himself taking an ever-growing group of children to safety. It stars Monty Woolley, Roddy McDowall and Anne Baxter. The film was adapted by Nunnally Johnson from the 1942 novel of the same name by Nevil Shute. It was directed by Irving Pichel.
In Landerneau, Nicole appeals to her uncle Aristide; he owns fishing boats. Initially suspicious, he finds a man, Focquet, willing to take them to England. However, on their way through the German-occupied town, Sheila gets into a fight with Rose and speaks English in the hearing of a German soldier. They are all captured at the boat and taken to Major Diessen.
The Pied Piper of Hamelin is an American musical film based on the famous poem of the same name by Robert Browning and using the music of Edvard Grieg, arranged by Pete King with new lyrics by Hal Stanley and Irving Taylor. It stars Van Johnson, Claude Rains (in his only singing and dancing role), Lori Nelson, Jim Backus and Kay Starr.[1] It was directed by Broadway veteran Bretaigne Windust. Nearly all of the dialogue in The Pied Piper of Hamelin is spoken in rhyme, much of it directly lifted from Browning's poem.
Initially airing on NBC on November 26, 1957, The Pied Piper of Hamelin was the first television film[2] not presented live, in contrast to the usual televised family specials of the era, but on motion picture film using three-strip Technicolor, a tactic whose previous use on television was solely for the one-hour science specials Our Mr. Sun[3] and Hemo the Magnificent. Theatrical prints erroneously bill the film as having been made in Eastmancolor.
Preempting that evening's telecasts of The Nat King Cole Show and The Eddie Fisher Show,[4] the film's success spawned a record album,[5] and it re-aired on NBC in 1958 before syndication on various local stations, where it was rerun annually in the tradition of other holiday specials. It received a brief theatrical release in 1966, though it did not fare nearly as well.[6]
The film was one of several 1950s telecasts of musical fantasy specials for children. This trend started after the great success of the first two live telecasts (in 1955 and 1956) of Peter Pan, which had gained the largest audience for a televised special to date.
In late 1955, Hallmark Hall of Fame presented a live telecast of the 1932 stage adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. This was followed in 1956 by the first telecast of MGM's 1939 film The Wizard of Oz (starring Judy Garland), and the first, live version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's only musical for television, Cinderella (1957), starring Julie Andrews. Both Oz and Cinderella also drew large audiences. Only a month prior to the telecast of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, NBC presented a live live-action musical adaptation of Pinocchio starring Mickey Rooney.
I remember it being on DVD and it had multiple stories included, one of which being a knockoff version of the little mermaid. From what I remember about the story, the pied piper plays his flute and lures rats out of the city and then later returns and lures the children out. But I specifically remember one child being left behind because he couldn't keep up with the other children since he had a broken leg and was using crutches to walk.
Just as Mike Doughty sings his second bridge with fake words, I have thrown out my actual review and will be writing this review with fake words (shout out to the fake language used in this film!). Fake Word review coming in hot.
A unique and deliciously enjoyable piece of animation with a grotesque twist. I love the story of the Pied Piper because of the relevancy of various elements of the tale- the environmental concerns and how greed affects all but the richest least. Barta removes the children from the equation here and substitutes a romantic interest for the Piper. While this may seem like a curious decision, it does allow for a remarkably satisfying ending for the film, one that places the blame on the villagers and the whole rotten system for how it dehumanises people. The film presents a remarkably bleak view of humanity and human interactions, unsurprising for near-Glasnost era Czechoslovakia.
Spine-chilling, stunningly animated, and completely immersive, Jiří Barta's Krysař is hands down one of the most remarkably accomplished and scintillating examples of stop-motion animation ever captured on film, though its narrative merits and crushingly dour tone can't match its technical splendor, leaving the viewer depleted and sullen by the end of its mercifully brief runtime.
I can barely remember the theatrical version, which is likely for the best. What I found in this updated version is that Snyder had room to explore ideas and relationships. And that made all the difference. I am not a fan of his work. By any stretch. But, perhaps because of what he has lived through the past few years, this film had something many of his previous efforts did not: heart.
Atom Egoyan states that Robert Browning's poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" (1842) serves as the controlling metaphor for his film The Sweet Hereafter. (1) The poem constitutes a significant change in his adaptation of Russell Banks's novel. Banks himself wished he had included it in his narrative (Rayns 61). Both works focus on the ramifications of a school bus accident in which children perish and the futile search for justice and meaning in a world of random violence and accidents.
An allegory of death, the Pied Piper legend with its fairy-tale trappings (the Piper's magical powers; the opening of the mountain) is based on an actual occurrence in the German town of Hamelin in 1284. (2) (There are numerous versions in Germany, including in the Grimms's Deutsche Sagen I German Sagas 18 Vol. I. [1816].) An inscription on the wall of the Rat-Catcher's house in Hamelin describes a piper dressed in many colors (pied) who "led" away 130 Hamelin children who were never found. A piper "seduces" the children of Hamelin with his melodies to follow him into a mountain. In one version, he takes the children away in order to punish the villagers for not paying him for ridding the town of its rats. In his poem, Browning includes a lame boy who arrives too late to join the others. The lame child resembles Nicole Burnell, a survivor of the bus accident and babysitter of two of the drowned children, who listened to her reading the Pied Piper poem. Nicole becomes a paraplegic and, appropriately, recites the tale in significant scenes. (Interestingly, in the Grimms's German Sagas, a "babysitter," who is carrying a child in her arms, sees the children led away and carries the news back to the town.) Thus, the poem serves as a mise-en-abyme or microcosm of the town's tragedy.
Whereas Russell's work consists of four narrators: the bus driver Dolores Driscoll; Billy Ansel, the father of two children who died in the accident; Mitchell Stephens, a New York negligence lawyer who represents the parents who plan to sue for damages; and Nicole Burnell, Egoyan's film portrays events primarily from Stephens's point of view in the first half of the film and from Nicole's in the second half. As Patricia Gruben notes, this crucial shift in perspective allows the film to conclude with Nicole's perspective (70). Nicole's reciting of the Pied Piper poem establishes her, as I will argue, as the most significant "narrator" in the film, who literally and metaphorically has the "last word" and serves as Egoyan's alter-ego. If Stephens represents human law and justice (and its inadequacies), then Nicole's perspective portrays the redeeming value of art as a source of comfort and wisdom in the midst of suffering, a perspective, I believe, Egoyan wishes to share with the viewer.
This shift in perspective from Stephens to Nicole marks a radical shift in language (from legal to poetic) and in Weltanschauung--from a narrative that focuses on (legal) retribution to one that expresses grief over profound loss, both personal (Nicole's) and collective (the town's). Both narratives constitute radically different attempts to impose meaning on a meaningless tragedy. Stephens, who describes the accident site as "the scene of the crime," attempts to place blame on a responsible party and offers a legal narrative with perpetrators and victims. As he remarks in the film to the Ottos, who have lost a child: "There is no such thing as an accident." Stephens claims that anger, not greed, motivates him. He explains to Mrs. Otto, "It should be said, that my task is to represent the Walkers only in their anger, not their grief [...]. That is why I'm here--to give your anger a voice." (His statement begs the question of who will voice the town's grief. As will be discussed below, Egoyan answers that implicit question with Nicole's recital of the poem.) Stephens's anger originates from his feelings of impotence toward Zoe, his uncontrollable daughter and a drug addict, who claims to have contracted AIDS. In the novel, he confesses that he is on a "personal vendetta" because he has "lost" a child (Banks 98). Thus, Stephens's personal tragedy, the loss of the daughter he knew, fuels his passion in helping others. If he cannot control or comprehend his daughter's risky behavior, then he can at least create a legal narrative about the accident that will enable him to claim restitution for the grieving parents with whom he identifies. As Dolores's husband Abbott observes: "Blame creates comprehension" (Banks 150). It is easier to cope with loss if one can discover (or create) a cause, place blame, and seek restitution. Finding a cause or perpetrator insinuates that tragedy can be explained, that the world has a predictable order rather than consisting of a random sequence of events that are incomprehensible and uncontrollable. His legal action provides Stephens with a purpose in life as an arbiter of morality. As he tells the Ottos in the film: "It is up to me to ensure moral responsibility in this society." Furthermore, as Egoyan notes, successful lawyers (like filmmakers) are master stroytellers. (3) Stephens controls the truth, manipulates others with his eloquence into joining the lawsuit, and restricts others' narratives.
