Dr Mabuse
Dr. Mabuse is a fictional character created by Norbert Jacques in his 1921 novel ('Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler'), and his 1932 follow-up novel ''Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse'' (1932). The character was made famous by three films about the character directed in Germany by Fritz Lang: '' Dr. Mabuse the Gambler'' (silent, 1922) ''The Testament of Dr. Mabuse'' (1933) and the much later ''The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse'' (1960). Five other films featuring Dr. Mabuse were made by other directors in Germany in the early 1960s, followed by Jess Franco's interpretation ''The Vengeance of Dr. Mabuse'' in 1971. Although the character was deliberately written to mimic villains such as Dr. Fu Manchu, Guy Boothby's Doctor Nikola, Fantômas, or Svengali, the last of which was a direct inspiration, Jacques' goals were commercial success and to make political comments, in much the same way that the film '' The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'' (1920) had done just a few years previously.

Ukrainian Jews
The history of the Jews in Ukraine dates back over a thousand years; Jewish communities have existed in the territory of Ukraine from the time of the Kievan Rus' (late 9th to mid-13th century).

Found Footage (appropriation)
In filmmaking, found footage is the use of footage as a found object, appropriated for use in collage films, documentary films, mockumentary films and other works. Use in commercial film Historical found footage is often used in documentary films as a source of primary information, giving the viewer a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. Director and cinematographer Ken Burns used archival footage in his films. ''Baseball'' (1994), his documentary television series for PBS, incorporates historical footage accompanied by original music or actors reading relevant written documents. Often fictional films imitate this style in order to increase their authenticity, especially the mockumentary genre. In the dramatized and embellished pseudo-documentary film ''F For Fake'' (1973), director Orson Welles borrows all shots of main subject Elmyr de Hory from a BBC documentary, rather than fabricating the footage himself. Stuart Cooper's ''Overlord'' uses stock footage o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
