Podcasts about years a slave

Are you able to balance being resilient with being vulnerable? Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor has spent time figuring out when to keep moving forward, and when to let painful emotions wash over him. In this chat with Fearne, Chiwetel reflects on how a childhood trauma has shaped his character – everything from his fierce ambition to his optimistic outlook. He also reveals the moments self-doubt has almost proved insurmountable (including when he first got the script for 12 Years A Slave...!) Plus, is ‘acceptance' of your past ever truly possible, or is the simple realisation that life WILL go on regardless good enough? And, do you worry you've let your own life pass in a blur? Chiwetel explains how he's learnt to live in the present.Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy is out in UK cinemas now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Lenny HenryDavid TennantNorah Jones Hosted on Acast.

Show Notes No, it's not about being a food service worker. 12 Years A Slave is about an actual slave. And, spoiler alert, being a slave is really, really bad. But is the film?

"A Quiet Place: Day One" is the third film in the "A Quiet Place" franchise and finds "Pig" filmmaker Michael Sarnoski picking up directorial duties from franchise helmer John Krasinski.

In this week's chaotic symphony of opinions first impressions matter as we break down the Top 5 Opening Scenes in movie history. Whether the rest of the movie is a masterpiece or not, these scenes captured our attention from the outset. From Kevin Costner peeing into a cup and drinking it in the opening moments of WATERWORLD to the librarian from GHOSTBUSTERS to Michael's first kill in HALLOWEEN, literally none of these movies are mentioned.Five years after Steve McQueen's 12 YEARS A SLAVE won best picture at the Oscars, the director returned with WIDOWS (2018) which tells the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their spouses' criminal activities. Hoping to forge a future on their own terms, they join forces to pull off a heist. Seeing well established genre tropes handled by a great cast and a serious director is a delight and I think it's interesting that this feels closest to artful crime movies like HEAT and THIEF, because those are movies obsessed with masculinity whereas this one is obviously about femininity. One thing that's noticeable is there's no macho competition between them like there would be if men were involved. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that shot with the camera mounted on the exterior of the car as Jack Mulligan rants and raves since I saw it. We finish things up with a look at DreamWorks TV's DINOTRUX. The series premiere introduces the basic premise of the show: in a prehistoric world, dinosaurs and trucks evolved into intelligent hybrid creatures called Dinotrux, who live in different regions and have differing abilities. Ty Rux, a friendly and heroic Tyrannosaurus Trux, sets out with the noble aim of creating a more egalitarian society by uniting the various species of Dinotrux to work in harmony, foiling the plans of the villainous D-Structs along the way. While it's tempting to decry the concept (construction vehicles that are also dinosaurs - a fact which somehow almost bypassed Cris) as derivative, gimmicky and purposefully ripe for merchandising opportunities, there are attempts to provide more substance as the show teaches viewers to explore the world around them, think creatively, and use their brains to engineer solutions to problems. The designs are imaginative, and the animation gives the characters a real weight. The vocal work is mostly excellent though I hate the ubiquity of the surfer dude voice. As ever it's the existential questions about these worlds which make the most fun to discuss, for example what is the life-cycle of a Trux? Are they functionally immortal in a Theseus's Ship type way if they have enough spare parts to repair themselves with? And if they're made of complex robotic parts and sophisticated gears and whatnot which they can understand and use to repair themselves and each other when needed, then why does it take them so long to figure out how to build something as simple as a bridge? Probably best not to ask.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Odo and Garak square off in the second half of this famous DS9 two-parter, the first part of which Ryan and Brady happened to cover almost exactly a year ago! But how does 12 Years A Slave inform the conversation we have about this episode? Is there anything better in the episode itself than the famous behind-the-scenes picture we've used as the episode image? Was frequent director David Livingston up to some new tricks, or were some of these techniques being used to shoot around stand-ins? We cover all of these topics and more this week!

"Occupied City" had its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its striking vision from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen ("12 Years A Slave") as he and his producing partner (and real-life partner) Bianca Stigter ("Three Minutes: A Lengthening") adapted her picture book "Atlas of an Occupied City, Amsterdam 1940-1945" during COIVD and shot on location in Amsterdam. The 262-minute long film was further screened at the Telluride Film Festival and the New York Film Festival (which is where this interview took place) and will be released by A24 theatrically this Christmas. McQueen and Stigter were kind enough to spend some time talking with me about the film, which has now been nominated for three Critics Choice Documentary Awards, including Best Historical Documentary, Best Director, and Best Cinematography. Please be sure to take a listen and check out the film, which will be playing in limited release on December 25th from A24. Thank you, and enjoy!

My guests today, Ryan Horrigan and Armando Kirwin, bonded over their mutual fascination with the future of entertainment and their desire to do something innovative, which led to the creation of their current company, Artie. We talk about pivots and micro pivots and staying sane through the million tiny conversations Cofounders need to navigate. Ryan, the CEO, and Armando, President and co-founder of Artie have a pretty radical vision for the future of social media— namely, to make TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and other social media apps the gaming consoles of the future. Before co-founding Artie, Ryan served as Chief Content Officer of the Comcast-backed VR & AR startup Felix & Paul Studios. He oversaw the development and production of feature films, including Academy Award Best Picture Winner “12 Years A Slave.” at Fox/New Regency, and is a two-time Emmy Award winner for immersive entertainment projects he produced with President Barack Obama and NASA, as well as a Peabody Award winner. Armando has been in the VFX world for over fifteen years, working with numerous award-winning directors, including two-time Academy Award nominee Lucy Walker,  Sundance Grand Jury prize nominee Sandy Smolan on The Click Effect, which was nominated for an Emmy; and Imraan Ismail on The Displaced, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes. He also produced Take Flight, starring Benicio del Toro, Michael Fassbender, and Charlize Theron. His most recent VR film, Nothing is Safe (2022), was an official selection of the Cannes Marché du Film. While movies are a wonderful industry, they both saw the power and potential of gaming as a storytelling platform - and a financial juggernaut. If you didn't know: According to a report by SuperData Research, the global gaming market was valued at $159.3 billion in 2020. This includes revenue from console games, PC games, mobile games, and esports. Let's put that into perspective: the music industry was valued at $19.1 billion in 2020, and the movie industry at $41.7 billion. That means the gaming industry is more than three times the size of the music industry and almost four times the size of the movie industry. TikTok used to be where people just watched videos (as of this writing, TikTok and Netflix are nearly tied for eyeball-hours). Now, hundreds of thousands of people are playing games on TikTok thanks to Artie and the technology breakthroughs that make streaming app-quality games from within social media apps possible. But how did they get here? Through a million micro conversations about data, signals, stakeholders and what it all means. Artie is where are are today not because of one big pivot, but many, many micro-pivots over the course of years. Pivots impact the team - who you needed on staff  when you were focused on one path isn't always who you need when you've decided to shift directions. Communication between departments and involving the team more is important - which means being intentional about regular check-ins and interdepartmental communication, but eventually, it comes down to the co-founder conversation - owning the choices that need to be made and moving forward, all while making sure you stay healthy and sane. Pivots vs Shaping Clay I loved this metaphor from Ryan, where he suggested that, from the outside, to investors, bloggers and customers, a company may have pivoted once, or a few times. From the inside, there are daily conversations, where the product is being shaped like clay, remade, refocused, almost constantly. “Listen to your body, have a Coach and a Therapist” This was one of my favorite insights from this conversation. It's not often that men talk openly about mental health and needing support. Ryan and Armando both have a coach (although they meet with that coach separately) and Armando advocated for having a therapist, while Ryan discussed how they got much much more intentional about listening to their bodies and taking down time. Armando suggests that therapy focuses on self-awareness, learning about yourself and your patterns, while his coaching focuses on future outcomes and goals. “You have to care deeply about your people, but at the same time, you can't care about what they think of you” Ryan quotes what he describes as a harsh-sounding notion from  Dick Costello when he was at Twitter: In Ryan's experience, when you make a tough decision, you can't worry about everyone's collective feelings (even though you DO care about them as people and teammates). You have to make the decision that you, as the leader, believe needs to be made. As a founder, you have to make and own tough decisions. Ryan points out that, at the end of the day, you can't ignore tough decisions. You can't have someone else do it for you. He suggests that while these moments are hard, it's helpful to focus on the people who are still with you and the ultimate goals you're trying to achieve. Links https://www.artie.com/

Does the Bible condone slavery? Dr. Josh Kline joins to discuss the background and historical nuance in the Bible and other cultures around the world. And spoiler alert, everyone agrees that slavery is wrong. 

We did a brief review of 12 Years A Slave when the film came out nearly 10 years ago. Here in Oscar Month 2023, we delve a lot deeper with the benefit of perspective. This tough-but-necessary film is the pinnacle of slavery movies, partly because it was written and directed by black men (John Ridley and Steve McQueen). Prestige Movies have had far more inclusion in the above-the-line jobs in the decade since, so there's clearly been progress in the film business. As for the story, Solomon Northup was a free man who was forced into this terrible life. It seems even more tragic that it happened to this exceptional man, although the moral question is why did ANYONE ever have to go through this? Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o are tremendous at showing us what it probably really was like to be a person held under the boot of vicious racists like Michael Fassbender. So as you cue up our 502nd edition of Have You Ever Seen, we ask you to understand that we're two white Canadians trying to sort through the horrors of slavery and the intricacies of the landmark achievement that is 12 Years A Slave.

When Brad Pitt arrived on screen 30+ years ago, he was a pretty face with a surprising sinister side. That brief turn in Ridley Scott's "Thelma and Louise" proved to be a template for the actor's diverse and increasingly accomplished film career. For proof of Pitt's growth as an actor, look no further than the very existence of this week's TOP 5 PITT PERFORMANCES, featuring long-time Pitt skeptic Adam's mea culpa. And for proof of the high quality of the Pitt filmography, consider that Adam and Josh share only one title between them.

That was until a chance meeting discovered his true identity, which eventually lead to his freedom and the involvement of the President of the United States.  Learn more about Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori, the prince who became a slave, who became an issue in a presidential election, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. -------------------------------- Associate Producers: Peter Bennett & Thor Thomsen   Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingeverywhere Update your podcast app at newpodcastapps.com Discord Server: https://discord.gg/UkRUJFh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingeverywhere/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/everywheretrip Website: https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/ Learn more about your ad choices.
