Podcasts about 1917

La battaglia di Caporetto del 1917 fu una grave disfatta per l'Italia nella Prima Guerra Mondiale, causando una ritirata drammatica e pesanti conseguenze.

Candidato a 10 Premi Oscar e vincitore di 3 – tra cui Migliore Fotografia, Migliori effetti speciali e Miglior Sonoro – parliamo di 1917. Un film di Sam Mendes (regista di American Beauty), che insieme al direttore della fotografia Roger Deakins (Academy Award, per Blade Runner 2049), ha dato vita a un war movie davvero sorprendente: un complesso virtuosismo tecnico, che in due ore racconta l'impresa impossibile di un soldato nei campi di battaglia della Prima Guerra mondiale. Un'odissea senza tregua che si svolge nell'arco di sole 24 ore e che – tra centinaia di comparse, esplosioni e macerie – viene raccontata e ripresa in un unico e ipnotico piano sequenza. 

We visit the Hindenburg Line battlefields of 1917 where the Battle of Cambrai was fought. We see the battlefield around Metz-en-Couture, visit the cemetery here and grave of Patrick Shaw-Stewart, and then walk down in Gouzeaucourt seeing a rare British bunker from WW1 and a memorial to the 11th Engineers of the US Army, ending on the high ground where the Welsh Guards counter-attacked in December 1917.The book mentioned was Children of the Souls by Jeanne MacKenzie. Got a question about this episode or any others?

We return to the Arras Battlefields of April 1917 and walk from Athies to the high ground at Point du Jour, seeing where men of the 9th (Scottish) Division, including troops from the South African Brigade fought.

By listener request, the story of Casey Stengel and the sparrow, but first, a pitcher is mercilessly mocked for his pickoff move and a second baseman is disabled by a piece of chewing gum. The Infinite Inning is not only about baseball but a state of mind. Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect stats, anecdotes, digressions, explorations of writing and fandom, and more Casey Stengel quotations than you thought possible. Along the way, they'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Op 8 juli 1917 gaat de Canadese landschapsschilder Tom Thomson op pad zoals hij dat het liefste doet: in zijn vertrouwde kano, op een meer, met zijn vishengel en zijn schilderspullen. Thomson peddelt al jaren precies zo door het Algonquin national park in Ontario, Canada. Soms blijft hij maanden weg en komt hij terug met wilde verhalen over beren en wolven. Meestal komt hij ook terug met een hele stapel nieuwe schilderijen.  Dus als hij die 8 juli niet meteen terugkomt in het pension waar hij logeert, is niemand meteen erg bezorgd. Maar na een paar dagen beginnen de mensen uit de buurt te zoeken. Tevergeefs. Tot een toevallige visser een gruwelijke ontdekking doet op het meer: daar drijft het stoffelijk overschot van Tom Thomson.  Ongelukje, hij zal wel verdronken zijn, zegt de dokter die de autopsie doet. Maar al snel zijn er allemaal dingen die niet kloppen. Hoe verdronk Thomson op het meer waar hij al jaren kwam? Waarom werd hij zo snel begraven? Waarom werd hij midden in de nacht weer opgegraven?  Waar is zijn lichaam gebleven? En was het wel een ongelukje? De lijst van verdachten is lang, van het meisje dat zei dat hij met haar zou gaan trouwen tot…. een wraakzuchtige forel. Luisteren dus! Podcasts maken kost geld!! Dus: Wil je deze podcast steunen? Nou, dat kan! Laat een vijf sterren recensie achter op bijvoorbeeld Apple Podcasts, Youtube Music of Spotify. Of een duimpje op Podimo.  Of koop mijn boek, De moord op mr. Jacques Wijsman! In dat boek raakt Joop ter Heul betrokken bij een onderzoek als haar broer verdacht wordt van de moord op de jonge advocaat Wijsman. Joop en haar vriendinnen moeten alles uit de kast trekken om de echte dader op te sporen, zelfs als dat steeds gevaarlijker lijkt te worden. Bestel een exemplaar voor jezelf en vertel het aan al je vrienden. Het is al "briljant", "krankzinnig" en "Agatha Christie meets Cissy van Marxveldt" genoemd. Inmiddels zijn we al aan de tweede druk en het vervolg ligt in januari in de winkel!

When most people think of World War I on the Western Front, they probably think of trenches. Trench systems were present along most of the 475 miles from the English Channel to the Swiss Alps. It wasn't just one straight continuous line, however. The system had many layers that supported the daily life and movement of millions of soldiers. If laid end to end, the trench systems would have stretched an estimated 35,000 miles. Trenches play a prominent role in most WWI movies. They are often depicted as sites of suffering, terror, and boredom. But what was day to day life really like in the trenches? How do the movies get this right or wrong? To explore this topic, the World War I Podcast welcomed Andrew Robertshaw, a historian, archaeologist, and a film advisor, to the podcast.  Follow us: Twitter: @MacArthur1880 Amanda Williams on Twitter: @AEWilliamsClark Facebook/Instagram: @MacArthurMemorial www.macarthurmemorial.org

This week, we are watching a classic from over 80 years ago. This may be the most modern feeling pre-1960's film we have watch so far in our hundreds of episodes. While it might be a staple in film school classes, it doesn't need any explanation from a stuffy teacher to see how well made and entertaining this classic remains. Casablanca (1942), directed by Michael Curtiz.

On a hill above the village of Hénin, close to Arras, stood a wooden cross remembering soldiers of the 64th Brigade who fell there in 1917.

Als je het hebt over de Nederlandse abstracte kunst, dan denk je misschien aan Gerrit Rietveld of Piet Mondriaan, maar eigenlijk moet dat Jan van Deene zijn. Samen met vrienden ontwikkelde hij aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw een absolute schilderstijl. En dat nog voor de kunstbeweging van De Stijl zijn intrede had gedaan. Janine Abbring spreekt erover met conservator beeldende kunst 20ste eeuw, Ludo van Halem.Wil je weten hoe dit schilderij eruitziet?

This week on BEFORE THE BREAK, the boys sit down with actor, Josef Davies. On the big screen he's appeared in such films as 1917, Dumbo, and The King. On the small screen he's been on such shows as The Crown, Chernobyl, Young Wallander, and Andor. We discuss growing up in a single parent household in London, how casting can see certain things in you, how friends and family pushed him to pursue acting, coming out of his shell in theatre school, jumping straight into work after school, his bad-ass agent, that monologue in Andor, letting the text do the work, and the secrecy of working on a Star Wars project.

So when we left off we we're in Buffalo on October 12th… We we're at Sue's house and we just had met with Frank - the day before the 10 year anniversary of Father Joe's passing on October 13th, 2012 - which happens to be quite a cosmic anniversary in the Catholic world; 105 years earlier in Portugal, the Miracle of Fatima took place - and as we are leaving Sue's after interviewing Frank for hours, the clock strikes midnight and he mentions Fatima.A miracle that Pope Pius XII himself said he witnessed in 1950 and ruled it a true miracle. It is a pretty epic modern miracle that occurred in the 20th century and is recognized by the church and we find it very peculiar the dates coincide with Father Joe's passing. The Miracle of Fatima… started in the beginning of spring 1916, three Catholic shepherd children living near Fátima, Portugal reported apparitions of an angel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are just doing our damnedest trying to get a message across a war-torn battlefield and save thousands of souls. We're talking about the 2019 film from Sam Mendes, 1917.Everybody's always talking about how terrible World War II was, and it indeed was godawful. There's a great fixation on one of the worst collective moments in all of human history. It deserves the attention it receives.But World War I was no slouch in the how-could-we-do-this-to-ourselves moments. All it takes is consideration of the merciless reality of trench warfare, tank battles, deadly gasses, and unimaginable loss to understand that the “Great War” was a blight on humanity.This is all depicted in this relentless film. These two men, boys nearly, are faced with the daunting task endlessly risking their lives in the dim hope that they'll be able to rescue others from certain doom.And yet, it's still a profound and personal film. We're with them every step of the way, sharing in their triumphs and tragedies. It's a story that'll stick with you for a long time.(Recorded on October 07, 2022)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:1917 - The Movie Database (TMDB)1917 trailer - YouTubeSam Mendes — The Movie Database (TMDB)Colin Firth — The Movie Database (TMDB)Penicillin - WikipediaArcher (TV Series 2009- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Saving Private Ryan (1998) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Mark Strong — The Movie Database (TMDB)Metal Gear - WikipediaFrogger - WikipediaBenedict Cumberbatch — The Movie Database (TMDB)Richard Madden — The Movie Database (TMDB)Game of Thrones (TV Series 2011–2019) — The Movie Database (TMDB)True Detective (TV Series 2014- ) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Rope (1948) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Russian Ark (2002) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Roger Deakins — The Movie Database (TMDB)Skyfall (2012) — The Movie Database (TMDB)Follow Us:Give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Our Buzzsprout site!Our Instagram profile!Our Twitter profile!

Kenny and Mike open the 5th season of Faithspotting by discussing the film and faith issues spotted in the latest film version of Erich Maria Remarque's 1928 novel All Quiet on the Western Front. The 1930 film won the Best Picture and Best Director Oscar for Lewis Milestone.  the 2022 film, directed by Edward Berger and staring Felix Kammerer as Paul Baumer and Albrecht Schuch as veteran Stanislaus Katczinsky. All Quiet on the Western Front follows the 17 year old German student Paul, and his classmates who, whipped into a war frenzy by their school master, volunteer to serve in the German army in the last year of the war. Told they would be marching into Paris in a matter of weeks, the boys are driven to the stalemate that is the trench warfare of the first world war. The film also depicts the contrasts between those who fight in the trenches and the Generals who make decisions with little to no regard for the lives and welfare of the soldiers in the trenches. Kenny and Mike compare the film favorably with some of the great films depicting war, Saving Private Ryan, 1917, and Paths of Glory. All Quiet on the Western Front is German submission for the Best International Film Oscar for the 2023 Academy Awards. Faith Issues Spotted: The purpose and need for the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount and Plain in Matthew and Luke 6, and Paul's teaching in Romans 12. Disciples of Jesus are called to love enemies and return hate and persecution with love and forgiveness.  Followers of Christ are called to seek and live for the Kingdom of God by living by Righteousness rather than the ways and expectations of the ways of the world.  The film also echoes the need for the teaching of Galatians 3:28, that disciples of Jesus are all one, united in Christ, and no longer Jew or Gentile, male or female, slave or gree. Christians, as the Israelites are residents and aliens of the worldly nations and citizens of the Kingdom of God. All Quiet on the Western Front is rated R for Violence.

Jen and her guests talk about Historical Epics this week!

This week, we had the privilege of talking with the Westmore family historian and great grandaughter of Ern Westmore: Christiana Benson! The Westmores were some of the most prominent makeup artists of Old Hollywood; they created looks for films such as Gone With the Wind (1939), Casablanca (1942), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Creature from the Black Lagoon (1957), and soooooooo much more. Christiana tells us about how patriarch George Westmore established the first Hollywood hair and makeup department in 1917, the talent of his descendants (amounting to four generations of family artists!), and the impact this family had on not just the world of special effects, but how the general public could embrace their own beauty. We are so honored to share the story of their legacy with you!To learn more about Christiana's family, please visit https://www.westmoresofhollywood.com/ or follow Christiana on Instagram @cbenson015 Please Comment, Rate, and Share our episodes and tell us what you like and what you want to hear more of!— Be sure to check us out onOur website: https://the-old-soul-movie-podcast.simplecast.com/FacebookTwitter: @oldsoulpodInstagram: @oldsoulmoviepodcast

In April of 1917 the US Government had a problem. It had just declared war on Imperial Germany, less than six months after re-electing President Wilson who's entire campaign theme was "He Kept Us Out of the War..." The problem wasn't the political flip-flop, but rather the fact that roughly a third of all American Citizens were either immigrants from or descended from immigrants from... you guessed it... Imperial Germany. Those American Citizens, including one who lived in Hollywood, were not convinced that this "War to Save Democracy" was anything other than a war to destroy their homelands and cultures. The President pondered what to do about the fact that support among the citizenry for this war was tepid, at best. He needed to whip up a war fighting spirit and furor that would carry Americans across the sea, to stand in Paris, and say those words, "Lafayette, nous sommes là!" (Lafayette, we are here!) Wilson's good friend and confidant, George Creel, had an idea. It was an idea to "propagate the faith" in the American version of the truth and get Americans fired up to take on the Germans. What was that idea? It would become known as... The Committee on Public Information. George Creel would go on to lead the effort to inform and coerce millions of American Citizens to support the Great War.
