Blue Oranges is a 2009 Bollywood film produced by S M Ferozeuddin Alameer under the Khussro Films banner and directed by Rajesh Ganguly. The film features Rajit Kapur, Rati Agnihotri, Harsh Chhaya, and Aham Sharma in key roles.
Since 2001, David MacFadyen has achieved an enviable publishing record with McGill-Queens University Press. Yellow Crocodiles and Blue Oranges is the fifth title in a series of scholarly monographs exploring "emotion" as an analytical construct for Russian and Soviet popular culture, following Red Stars: Personality and the Soviet Popular Song, 1955-1991(2001), Songs for Fat People: Affect, Emotion, and Celebrity in the Russian Popular Song, 1900-1955 (2002), Estrada?!: Grand Narratives and the Philosophy of the Russian Popular Song since Perestroika (2002), and The Sad Comedy of El'dar Riazanov (2004). In this volume, he turns his attention to Soviet and post-Soviet animation, traditionally viewed as the weakest aspect of the storied Soviet film industry. (Soviet animation's most famous icon is the big-headed, big-eared furry Cheburashka, now world-famous since it was adopted by the Russian Olympic team in Athens as their mascot.) Given that this is the first book in English devoted to any aspect of Soviet animation, it bears the weight of high expectations.
MacFadyen's approach to the material is theoretical and philosophical, rather than historical or critical. Although the subtitle suggests that the book might be a survey of Russian animation over the past sixty years, it is not, nor is it, as a jacket blurb claims, "a key reference text for university courses in Russian film studies and animation courses in general." On the contrary, Yellow Crocodiles is an extremely difficult text that requires a highly specialized reader, one who is not only well acquainted with the vast literature on Soviet culture, the Soviet film industry, and Soviet cultural politics, but is also well versed in phenomenology and other "-ologies" and "-isms." The author seeks to apply phenomenological principles to Soviet animation to demonstrate that it was an emotional art that operated largely outside political constraints.
The chief strength of this book is MacFadyen's effort to bring new theoretical and analytical paradigms to bear on the study of Soviet cinema, which has heretofore been dominated by historical, socio-political, and literary approaches. In this sense it is pathbreaking. As an "old school" socio-cultural historian, I must admit that I found much of Yellow Crocodiles to be close to incomprehensible. To a certain extent, this reflects a wholly natural generational shift, as a new cohort of intellectual revolutionaries moves to the forefront of film scholarship. My confusion also, however, results from the stream-of-consciousness abstraction that characterizes the book's organization and prose style, apart from occasional forays into alliterative whimsy. This passage, referring to the disarray in the film industries as the USSR came to an end, is comparatively clear:
"This state of liberation, of dissolving or dissipation, it was felt, had begun many years ago, thus making the supposedly monumental, wholly political changes of perestroika less eventful, if not meaningless. Changes of equal consequence had taken place long ago in the field, within its 'emotional stimulators' and prompted the development of films that were now based upon investigations of post-dogmatic social 'experience or sympathy.' The 'No' of politics had become the socializing 'Yes' of a centrifugal non-judgmental art form" (p. 96).
Tintin and the Blue Oranges (Tintin et les oranges bleues in French) is a 1964 Live-Action Adaptation film of the famous Tintin series of comics, and the sequel to 1961's Tintin and the Golden Fleece. Like the aforementioned film, it boasts an original story, rather than being based on any album. Jean-Pierre Talbot reprises his role as Tintin, though Captain Haddock is now played by Jean Bouise and Professor Calculus by Félix Fernandez.
Calculus receives a strange parcel in the mail from the famous Professor Zalamea, containing a blue orange that glows in the dark and which can be grown in the desert, making it a potential solution to world hunger. When the orange is stolen, Calculus, Tintin, and Haddock all travel to Valencia to meet Zalamea and explain the situation to him. However, Zalamea has been kidnapped, and so is Calculus, with their abductors seeking to use the blue oranges for their own benefits. Tintin is helped by a gang of local children in his search for the missing professors.This film provides examples of the following tropes:
- Big Bad Ensemble: There turns out to be two competing villains who seek to use the blue oranges for their own benefit: Oranges Inc., who initially kidnap the professors, and the Emir of Sakali, who comes into play later in the movie and has them re-kidnapped just before Tintin and Haddock arrive to rescue them.
- Brutish Bulls: While investigating the kidnapped professors, Thompson and Thomson mistakenly bump into a belligerent bovine who chases them around.
- Distinguishing Mark: Fernando has a tattoo of a blue dragon biting its own tail on his wrist. The kids manage to track him down by asking every similar-looking man they meet for the time, allowing them to take a closer look at their wrists.
- "Everybody Laughs" Ending: In the end, Thompson and Thomson arrive, crash their car, and land in the fountain, making everyone else laugh as a photo is taken.
- Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables: The titular blue oranges are genetically-modified oranges which are blue, glow in the dark, and most importantly, can be grown even in the harsh desert environment. They're highly sought-after by villains due to the economic implications such a crop carries, but in their current state, they have an awful bitter and salty taste, making them inedible.
- Improvised Weapon: During the film's climactic fight scene, Captain Haddock uses a ventilation pipe from the yacht he's on as an improvised armguard during a swordfight, before using it to send his opponent into the water.
- Kidnapped Scientist: Professor Zalamea and Calculus both get kidnapped by Oranges Inc., and later by the Emir of Sakali, and are forced to work on the blue oranges.
- Kid Sidekick: Pablito is a young boy who is a friend of Zalamea. He and his gang of friends help Tintin in their investigation of the professors' kidnappings, such as by helping track down Fernando.
- Tap on the Head: Tintin and Haddock are knocked out by men who bash them over the head with billy clubs. Both of them wake up later, complaining of a headache but otherwise unharmed.
A follow up to 1961's "Tintin and Mystery of the Golden Fleece", this is the second film to be based on the Tintin stories. Jean-Pierre Talbot reprised the role of 'Tintin' with Jean Bouise taking over as Capitaine Haddock.
The movie centres on a mysterious 'blue orange' with the ability to grow in arid desert conditions and to glow in the dark. After it's theft, Tintin, Haddock and Snowy set off to Spain to solve the crime and world hunger.
Tintin and the Blue Oranges (French: Tintin et les Oranges bleues) is a 1964 French film set in France and Spain. It was the second live-action Tintin movie, with an original story based on characters created for the comic book series The Adventures of Tintin, written and drawn by the Belgian artist Hergé. It was less successful than its predecessor, Tintin and the Golden Fleece. The movie itself is available on video cassette and DVDs, in 2018 the movie was released with restoration in 4K. The same DVD has Tintin and the Mystery of the Golden Fleece as well.
Professor Calculus on (B&W) TV broadcasts an appeal to help end world hunger. He receives many letters and parcels and among them a blue orange which can grow in desert conditions (and glows in the dark) from Professor Zalamea, but no letter of explanation. That night, two thieves break into Marlinspike Hall and steal the blue orange. With no other choice, Calculus with Tintin, the Captain and Snowy go to Valencia (filmed in Burjassot, in Simat de la Valldigna at the Monastery of Santa María de la Valldigna, Gandia and Xàtiva).
Arriving, they find he is not present at his hacienda and are met by his cousin. Professor Calculus is kidnapped to help Zalamea perfect the blue oranges which with neutron bombardment can mature in just five days. Unfortunately they taste bitter and salty so are presently no good.
Tintin befriends a local boy who takes him to his gang hideout and he finds out that a boy who was to take the parcel to the Post Office for Zalamea was attacked by a man with a blue dragon tattoo on his hand. Thomson and Thompson turn up from Interpol, investigating Zalamea's disappearance and have an unfortunate incident with a bull.
All turns out well and they are back at Marlinspike Hall for a celebration and photos. It is said that they hope to perfect the oranges within ten years and also to learn to grow wheat, potatoes, eggplants etc. in the desert. Just then, Thomson and Thompson turn up in their car, crash and end up in the fountain, to the amusement of all.
Professor Calculus's friend develops a blue-skinned orange that can grow on any kind of land and survive harsh weather (in the manner of Lue Gim Gong) and therefore solve world hunger. The Professor and his friends, however, run afoul of gangsters who also covet the fruit. The adventure takes them from their home in Marlinspike Hall (Moulinsart), a fictional mansion that is presumably in Belgium, to Spain, where Calculus and another scientist are kidnapped.
It is a light-travelogue, this time Spain, that is high on adventure. The film may have a slightly confused plot, but it remains a lot of fun. Talbot is an impressive lead, his physical dynamism is well-captured. While, this film has more of a comic book feel than the first film, including some cool scene-introduction panels throughout the film.
