Paulette Goddard wird in den 1930er-Jahren als Filmpartnerin Charlie Chaplins weltberühmt. Zeitlebens versteht sie es, Glamour und Geist zu verbinden. Von Melahat Simsek.

"Bist du glücklich?" Das fragt in einem Roman von Erich Maria Remarque ein Mann einen anderen. Der antwortet mit einer Gegenfrage: "Wie lange kann man auf einer Nadelspitze sitzen?" Entnommen aus: Ralf-Uwe Beck "Augenblick noch mal. Neue Zwei-Minuten-Texte, die den Alltag durchkreuzen", Wartburg Verlag, Weimar 2022

The stupendous publication of Edna Ferber's Giant in 1952 set off a storm of protest over the novel's portrayal of Texas manners, money and mores with oil-rich Texans threatening to shoot, lynch or ban Ferber from ever entering the state again.In Giant Love, Julie Gilbert writes of the internationally best-selling Ferber, one of the most widely read writers in the first half of the 20th Century – her evolution from mid-west maverick girl-reporter to Pulitzer Prize winning, beloved American novelist, from her want-to-be actress days to becoming Broadway's acclaimed prize-winning playwright whose collaborators – George S. Kauffman and Moss Hart, among them, were, along with Ferber, herself, the most successful playwrights of their time.bout the AuthorJULIE GILBERT was born in New York City and was educated at Boston University. She is the author of four books, among them a biography of her great aunt, Edna Ferber, Edna Ferber and Her Circle and Opposite Attraction: The Lives of Erich Maria Remarque and Paulette Goddard, Gilbert is a member of The Dramatists Guild, The Writers Guild of America, East, The Authors Guild, Actors' Equity, and League of Professional Theater Women. She has taught Creative Writing at New York University's School of Continuing Education and currently heads The Writers Academy at The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida where she lives part time, as well as in New York City.For more info on the book click HERE

Bei den Deutschen liegt der Pazifismus nicht nur im Blut, sondern sogar in den Genen, erfährt man im ARD-Programm — verbunden mit der Hoffnung, dass man diesen Gen-Code überschreiben kann.Ein Standpunkt von Roberto de Lapuente.Man muss krank sein, um den Krieg nicht zu lieben. Zumindest muss man an einer Art Lebensschwäche, einer Lähmung der Willenskraft leiden, die einen daran hindert, im Überlebenskampf der Völker seinen Mann oder seine Frau zu stehen. Wir kennen die Pathologisierung des Pazifismus aus besonders kriegstüchtigen Zeiten der deutschen Geschichte. Neu ist, dass dieses Argumentationsmuster in zeitgenössischen Talkshows wieder auftaucht. Bei Caren Miosga etwa, die im Gespräch mit dem Polit-Veteranen Joschka Fischer herausarbeitete, dass die Deutschen an einer Art Gendefekt leiden müssen — genannt „Kriegsmüdigkeit“ oder Friedensliebe. Gewiss hat das alles noch mit den Nachwirkungen des Zweiten Weltkriegs zu tun. Aber einmal muss doch Schluss damit sein, dass wir Hitler als Ausrede für die eigentliche defätistische Weichlichkeit missbrauchen. Die alten Traumata müssten nach 80 Jahren überwunden sein — mit frischer Kraft wird unsere Generation neue erschaffen.Danke, Hitler! Das möchte heute mancher laut ausrufen. Denn jener Mann, der der Führer des Deutschen Reichs war, hat nicht nur einen bestialischen Krieg und Massenmord verbrochen, sondern die Deutschen, die nach seiner Zeit kamen, zu einem zahmen Volk guter Nachbarn gemacht. Er hat sie — unfreiwillig — zu eher dem Frieden zugeneigten Zeitgenossen transformiert, die immer dann skeptisch wurden, wenn das Wort „Krieg“ fiel.Der Pazifismus hatte im Nachkriegsdeutschland einen starken Rückhalt. 1951 konnten zum Beispiel sechs Millionen Unterschriften gegen die Wiederbewaffnung gesammelt werden. Damals lebten in Westdeutschland knapp 51 Millionen Menschen — die Zahl von sechs Millionen Unterschriften war also mehr als beachtlich.Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte scheute man Kriege; von deutschem Boden sollte kein Krieg mehr ausgehen. Diese Kriegsmüdigkeit zog sich über viele Jahrzehnte. Kühn glaubte mancher, dass die Deutschen für alle Zeit vom Kriegselan geheilt sein könnten. Ganz falsch ist das nicht, denn trotz der seit Jahren stärker werdenden Kriegsertüchtigungsrhetorik gaben vor drei Jahren noch immerhin fast 87 Prozent gegenüber der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung bekannt, dass sie eher für Verhandlungen denn für einen Waffengang im Falle der russisch-ukrainischen Auseinandersetzung seien. Für Caren Miosga, Gefälligkeitstalkerin bei der ARD, ist diese Friedensliebe sogar in den Genen der Deutschen verankert.Sonntags um 21:45 Uhr wird zurrrückgeschossen!So lehnte sie sich an einem dieser verfluchten Talksonntage zu Altaußenminister Joschka Fischer rüber und stellte ihre genetische Einordnung zur Disposition. Dann fragte sie die grüne Doppelstandard-Ikone gleich noch, wie man diesen Code überschreiben könne. Da schwang latent mit, dass eine solche genetische Veranlagung als Schaden zu begreifen sein sollte — als Gendefekt quasi. Ja, als Erbkrankheit!Und das alles nur wegen damals, wegen der Nazis, die den Deutschen die Kriegsbereitschaft austrieben — jene hielten den Pazifismus übrigens auch für den Ausdruck einer schwächlichen Konstitution. Wer den Krieg diskreditierte — und sei es lediglich die Schilderung der Fronterfahrungen des Ersten Weltkrieges, wie Erich Maria Remarque es getan hat —, der konnte in den Augen der Nationalsozialisten nichts anderes sein als ein degenerierter Lump.So degeneriert, wie es bei Miosga in ihrer gleichnamigen Talkshow anklang, als sie von einem Gen-Code sprach, der nun besser überschrieben werden soll. Als genetische Fehlfunktion, die man nun besser behebe...hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/schadhafter-volkskorper-von-roberto-de-lapuente/ Hosted on Acast.

Lists of canonical works of fiction should inspire skepticism—we all bring our own notions of quality to the books we read. But every so often, we encounter an acknowledged classic that so captures our imagination as to make us wonder why we didn't come to it earlier. Smarty Pants host Stephanie Bastek, for example, recently read Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front, originally published in 1929, for the first time. And she's glad she waited: Kurt Beals's new translation faithfully mirrors the original German. Beals brings an immediacy to what has been called the greatest war novel of all time, refreshing the text for a new generation of readers who might have only seen the Netflix version of Paul Bäumer and his comrades navigating the trenches of the First World War. Reworking a classic is challenging, but, as Beals writes in his introduction, the greater ordeal was “to spend months with these young soldiers, in the trenches and in their heads, to know them intimately enough to give them new voices in a new language, and then to watch them die.”Go beyond the episode:Kurt Beals's new translation of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria RemarqueWatch the original 1930 American adaptation of the novelWar poets who wrote in the trenches: August Stramm, Wilfred Owen, Rupert BrookeTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Ce livre est sans doute l'équivalent alsacien du célèbre "À l'Ouest rien de nouveau" de Erich Maria Remarque. Plongez au cœur de l'enfer de la retraite de l'Allemagne nazie avec "SS malgré moi" d'Elimar Schneider. Nous explorons avec son traducteur Ludwig A. les complexités de l'identité alsacienne à travers le témoignage poignant d'Élimar Schneider dans son livre "SS malgré moi". Il fut un des rares incorporés de force dans le corps militaire de SS (qui n'est pas la SS politique) et non l'armée allemande. On vous raconte le récit absolument fascinant d'Élimar Schneider. Suivez son parcours, de son adolescence en Alsace annexée et en Isère, jusqu'à la terrible retraite de l'armée allemande face à supériorité numérique et au rouleau compresseur logistique américain. Les questionnements identitaires. Comment concilier un héritage culturel alsacien avec l'horreur de la guerre et la culpabilité d'avoir été proche des allemands ? Un livre qui bouleverse tous les a priori et les esprits binaires comme bien la bien-pensance en produit tant et qui vous permettra de mieux comprendre l'histoire et l'identité alsaciennes. Retrouvez "SS malgré-moi" d'Elimar Schneider : https://www.amazon.fr/SS-malgr%C3%A9-moi-Tribulations-dun-Alsacien/dp/B0DF6LXYS5

Para ello, ha seleccionado los libros 'Sin novedad en el frente' de Erich Maria Remarque, 'Adiós a las armas' de Ernest Hemingway, 'Sonámbulos' de Christopher Clark y 'Los desertores' de Joaquín Berges.

Kritiker entdeckten in seinen Werken eine fein verästelte Intertextualität und ein sorgsam austariertes System von Nähe und Ferne zu deutschen Autoren wie Ernst Jünger und Erich Maria Remarque. Rembeks Texte seien allerdings „viel wertvoller“, meint Maciej Urbanowski von der Jagiellonen-Universität.

Book Vs. Movie: All Quiet On the Western FrontThe 1928 German Classic Novel Vs. the 2024 Netflix AdaptationThe Margos conclude "Banned Books Month" with Erich Maria Remarque's 1928 novel "All Quiet on the Western Front," a profound anti-war masterpiece that captures the emotional and psychological devastation of World War I from the perspective of young German soldiers. The 2022 film adaptation, directed by Edward Berger, reimagines the story for modern audiences, using intense visuals and dramatic storytelling to convey the horrors of war.While the novel and the film share a common anti-war message, they approach it differently. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, they viewed Remarque's novel as an insult to the German military and the nation. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi leadership condemned the book for promoting defeatism and portraying German soldiers as victims rather than heroic figures.It didn't align with the Nazi ideology of military pride and national superiority. The English translation of the book faced censorship in specific areas like Boston, where it was banned for obscenity, and customs officials in Chicago also seized some copies due to concerns about content. Which version did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out.

Bo-Katan and Ahsoka lament the Mandalorian Civil war's casualties. Mandalore needs a new type of leader, in the mold of Bo's sister Satine. I'm sure everyone who lost loved ones in the conflict are glad that Bo learned a lesson.Ahsoka has a SpaceTime(™) with the Jedi council. We're in act 3 of Revenge of the Sith and Ahsoka joins the council meeting in time to say smell you later to Mace, Ki-Adi and Aayla Secura. Yoda fails to guilt trip Ahsoka about the whole ex-Jedi thing. Ahsoka and Rex reckon with the cost of war, and interestingly enough Erich Maria Remarque got a writing credit for this episode.Ahsoka and a Republic Cruiser's worth of clones prepare to extradite the imprisoned Maul to Coruscant. Ahsoka has force visions of Anakin merking Mace, just as Rex receives Order 66. Rex fights the control chip, while other members of the 250.5th immediately draw down. Ahsoka escapes to free Maul, and suggests he cause a distraction. Ahsoka then recruits some astromech droids; if they're half as violent and chaotic as R2 she's got a real shot at getting out of this.Ahsoka uses tries to reason with Rex. When that fails she informs him the astromech droids came here to hack elevators and taze clones and they're all out of elevators. She takes the unconscious Rex to the med bay for some Force assisted trepanning. Rex comes through the procedure in his right mind, but the frogurt is also cursed and the rest of the clones are actively trying to hunt down and kill all Jedi.Rex and Ahsoka (henceforth Rexsoka)'s cruiser hurtles through hyperspace. They are trapped in the med bay as Order 66-ed clones cut through the doors. Rexsoka set their blasters and fists to stun, incapacitate the clones, and escape to the shuttle bay. Maul wreaks havoc on the ship's systems, knocking the cruiser out of hyperspace. Ahsoka directs the droids to find an escape ship since the cruiser is falling into the moon's gravity well. They locate a shuttle, but a sea of clones blocks their way. Rex, tears in his eyes, tells Ahsoka the clones will kill them. Ahsoka knows this, but she will not kill them in return.Ahsoka hatches a plan to get to the escape ship: she pretends to be Rex's prisoner. This gambit allows the droids to get into position and pull the proverbial rug out from underneath the clones. With escape in sight, Maul shows up and ganks their shuttle! The droids then heroically lay down their lives to save Rexsoka.Rexsoka finds a Y-Wing. Ahsoka flings Rex onto the ship, then the cruiser tilts violently and begins to breaks up in atmosphere. The Y-Wing is thrown from the hangar, sans Ahsoka. She leaps off the cruiser and… sky walks? down the falling pieces of the rapidly disintegrating cruiser. She reaches Rex and they fly away.The Y-Wing lands next to the wrecked cruiser, we see Rex with shovel in hand. They've come to bury the dead. Their friends. His brothers. Ahsoka reflects on the sea of clone helmets, some still painted with her markings. We freeze on Jesse's helmet, Ahsoka looks down, and one of her lightsabers falls to the ground.We flash forward and see STORMtroopers milling about. We hear all-to-familiar mechanical breath. Darth Vader approaches, retrieves Ahsoka's lightsaber, lights it, then surveys the wreckage. Above glides a Convor (the owl-like bird that became a sort of spirit companion to Ahsoka after Mortis). We cut to the visor of an Ahsoka-painted helmet lying in the snow, where Vader's reflection retreats as we reach THE END.https://twitter.com/ClosingCrawlhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/closing-crawl/id1530133296https://www.closingcrawl.com/Merch at: https://bit.ly/spacetimetm

This month Angus, Chris and Jessica discuss Jessica's professorial inaugural lecture, 'No (Wo)man's Land: writing history at the intersection of gender and First World War studies'.   Along the way we consider the problem of masculinity as an empty analytic category, the importance of the centenary for the study of the First World War and what Jessica might have done if she hadn't gone in to academia. There is also a sneak preview of exciting forthcoming and future projects from all three of us.     References: Jessica Meyer, ‘On Being a Woman and a War Historian' Jessica Meyer, Men of War: Masculinity and the First World War in Britain (2008) Jessica Meyer, Equal Burden: The Men of the Royal Army Medical Corps in the First World War (2019) Kate Adie, Fighting on the Home Front: The Legacy of Women in World War One (2013) Kate Adie, ‘Don't write first world war women out of history', The Guardian, 23rd September, 2013 Barbara Tuchman, The Guns of August (1962) Deborah Thom, Nice Girls and Rude Girls: Women Workers in World War 1 (1998) Tammy Proctor, Female Intelligence: Women and Espionage in the First World War (2003) Margaret MacMillan, Peacemakers (2001) Adrian Gregory, The Last Great War (2008) Jeremy Paxman, Great Britain's Great War (2013) John Tosh and Michael Roper (eds), Manful Assertions: Masculinities in Britain Since 1800 (1991) Denise Riley, Am I That Name?: Feminism and the Category of ‘Women' (1988) R.W.

Before Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Penelope Cruz, there was Lupe Velez―one of the first Latin-American stars to sweep past the xenophobia of old Hollywood and pave the way for future icons from around the world. Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality. The media emphasized the "Mexican Spitfire" persona, and by many accounts, Velez's private life was as colorful as the characters she portrayed on-screen. Fan magazines mythologized her mysterious childhood in Mexico, while mainstream publications obsessed over the drama of her romances with Gary Cooper, Erich Maria Remarque, and John Gilbert, along with her stormy marriage to Johnny Weissmuller. In 1944, a pregnant and unmarried Velez died of an intentional drug overdose. Her tumultuous life and the circumstances surrounding her early death have been the subject of speculation and controversy. In Strictly Dynamite: The Sensational Life of Lupe Velez (UP of Kentucky, 2023), author Eve Golden uses extensive research to separate fact from fiction and offer a thorough and riveting examination of the real woman beneath the gossip columns' caricature. Through astute analysis of the actress's filmography and interviews, Golden illuminates the path Velez blazed through Hollywood. Her success was unexpected and extraordinary at a time when a distinctive accent was an obstacle, and yet very few books have focused entirely on Velez's life and career. Written with evenhandedness, humor, and empathy, this biography finally gives the remarkable Mexican actress the unique and nuanced portrait she deserves. Learn more about your ad choices.

Before Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria, and Penelope Cruz, there was Lupe Velez―one of the first Latin-American stars to sweep past the xenophobia of old Hollywood and pave the way for future icons from around the world. Her career began in the silent era, when her beauty was enough to make it onto the silver screen, but with the rise of talkies, Velez could no longer hope to hide her Mexican accent. Yet Velez proved to be a talented dramatic and comedic actress (and singer) and was much more versatile than Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, Gloria Swanson, and other legends of the time. Velez starred in such films as Hot Pepper (1933), Strictly Dynamite (1934), and Hollywood Party (1934), and her popularity peaked in the 1940s after she appeared as Carmelita Fuentes in eight Mexican Spitfire films, a series created to capitalize on Velez's reputed fiery personality.

Episode 45: ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930) This week, we discuss the oldest movie remaining: the Best Picture winner from the third Academy Awards (TM) ceremony covering the years 1929-1930. All Quiet on the Western Front is an early sound film based on Erich Maria Remarque's 1929 German novel. The film follows very young men who eagerly sign up for service in World War I. They soon come face to face with the horrors of war. Lewis Milestone directed this classic antiwar film. All Quiet on the Western Front ranks #25 on our countdown.* Join us next week as we jump ahead to 2003 for the fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court. *What is this list? We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.

O escritor alemão morreu há 53 anos.

"Im Westen nichts Neues": nicht nur ein Oscar-prämierter Antikriegsfilm, sondern schon beim Erscheinen des Buchs 1928 ein Weltbestseller, geschrieben von Erich Maria Remarque. Der lebte ein wechselvolles Leben... Autor: Jürgen Werth Von Jürgen Werth.

Frank Petzold is an internationally acclaimed Director and VFX Supervisor, and he's been working in film for over 25 years. Whether working in film or television, Frank creates cutting edge visuals. Before stepping into the world of directing, this award-winning VFX Supervisor enjoyed a successful career in Germany as a Director of Photography, specializing in shoots with visual effects components. In the early 90s, Frank joined the Tippett Studio in California to supervise and direct VFX work for major Hollywood films. Starting with the cult classic STARSHIP TROOPERS, he quickly moved from one blockbuster to the next, including ARMAGEDDON, THE MATRIX, HOLLOW MAN, THE RING, GOLDEN COMPASS and many others. Working closely with Directors such as Steven Spielberg, Paul Verhoven, Frank Oz, Gore Verbinsky, Ivan Reitman, Frank learned how to bring story to life. With that extensive experience, he began directing complex commercials for the international market. When ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT Director Edward Berger called Franks, with whom he worked on the AMC Series THE TERROR, the idea of working on such an iconic literary IP made Frank intimidated and inspired at the same time. Based on Erich Maria Remarque's best-selling 1929 novel of the same name, the film follows an idealistic young German soldier in WWI who soon learns the harrowing reality of war. Because of the intimate perspective and to capture the verisimilitude of life in the trenches, Petzold's goal was to ground the visual effects in photorealistic reference points. In other words, in this case, less is more. In 2023, the film won 4 Academy Awards. Frank has been a member of VES since 1999. In this Podcast, Allan McKay talks to the VFX Supervisor and Director Frank Petzold about his start in VFX at the legendary Tippett Studio; his work on STARSHIP TROOPERS, HOLLOW MAN, ARMAGEDDON, as well as the 2023 Academy Award Winning film ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

Edward Berger's modern retelling of Erich Maria Remarque's landmark novel won multiple awards but made some significant changes to the source material. In episode 266, Luke & James are joined by history teacher Tom Leonard to debate how effective the changes were, delve into the real-world history, recognize Chekov's smoking goose, and ultimately each cast their votes on what was the better version: the book or the movie.

Erich Maria Remarque's career defining novel was so influential it created a new genre, got banned by fascists, and recently got adapted again into an award-winning film by Edward Berger.

All Quiet on the Western Front is the 2022 film adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's famous anti-war novel. Told from the German perspective, it presents a gruelling depiction of life and death in the First World War, emphasising the despair and disillusionment of the soldiers who fought in it. The film has enjoyed great success, having already won seven BAFTA Awards and been nominated in nine categories at the upcoming 95th Academy Awards. But what does it take to transform a film like this from a passion project into a blockbuster hit? And how should filmmakers handle stories rooted in conflict? On today's episode, we are joined by Lesley Paterson, the film's executive producer and co-writer, and a world champion triathlete. She tells us about the trials and tribulations she faced to bring the project to fruition, and how history influenced her writing to bring the story to life.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 11, 2023 is: bombast • BAHM-bast • noun Bombast refers to speech or writing that is meant to sound important or impressive but that is not sincere or meaningful. // The other world leaders at the international conference had little interest in being subjected to the host president's bombast. See the entry > Examples: “... this sprawling German-language adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's classic WWI novel All Quiet on the Western Front is a film that feels both aesthetically dazzling and full of necessary truths: an antiwar drama that transcends the bombast of propaganda mostly just because it's so artfully and indelibly made.” — Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly, 28 Oct. 2022 Did you know? Bombast settled softly into English in the mid-late 16th century as a textile term used to refer to cotton or other soft fibrous material used as padding or stuffing (its ultimate source is likely Middle Persian pambak, meaning “cotton”), but within a decade it had extended from literal stuffing to figurative stuffing, referring to speech or writing that is padded with pretentious verbiage. The adjective bombastic, which followed bombast a century later, has been a favorite choice to describe blowhards, boasters, and cockalorums ever since.
