Russian Song Air Force One

FRANK MILLER


Frank Miller fa parte di quel gruppo di autori che ha saputo proiettare i supereroi in un contesto più oscuro e maturo, partecipando quindi all'opera di decostruzione propria del periodo Dark Age .

Cresciuto a Montpelier, Vermont, Miller worked as a professional for many publishers, such as the Gold Key , DC Comics and Marvel Comics .

Please note by drawing a two-part story written by Chris Claremont 's Annual of Amazing Spider-Man , and then carries out the pencils for the series Daredevil, moving on to write scripts for the character. Miller writes the best stories of the Red Devil, including the wonderful miniseries Born Again (in Renaissance Italy ), paired with artist David Mazzucchelli , getting more and more consensus among fans.
work on Daredevil him to create the character of the ninja assassin Elektra .


In 1986, Miller was called upon by DC Comics to revive the myth of Batman in worrying crisis.
writes so The Dark Knight Returns, written and drawn by Frank Miller bowing to Klaus Janson and Lynn Varley colored by .
E 'undoubtedly the story that raised a man who was slowly dying. And it is curious that in the history of Miller presents us with a Bruce Wayne 50 years old, retired for the past 10 years. In a Gotham City in increasing degeneration, Bruce Wayne decides to continue his fight against crime. Miller paints a Bruce Wayne rooted in his personal relationship with the vengeance and justice. For the first time, then moves to Miller's attention to that man icon Batman Bruce Wayne. And his back and suffered and tormented.
In 2001, again with Lynn Varley , Miller takes up the story writing DK2 ( The Dark Knight Strikes Back), a choral work more DC Comics universe according to many quite controversial and unnecessary .

In 1987 he wrote then Batman: Year One again along with David Mazzucchelli .
It 's interesting to read the preface of that reported in the book edited by Miller Play Press in 1996: for me Batman was never funny, "says , and tells when, eight years, his first puff Batman comic book and remains frightened and intrigued by that creature cloaked in black.
The story tells of the origins of the Dark Knight. A large space is given to the then Lieutenant Jim Gordon , demonstrating the author's attention to the various characters and their stories. Gordon is in fact a key figure in the universe of Batman and Miller was able to make himself a hero.



Since 1991, Miller writes for Dark Horse Comics series Sin City, a noir series typically divided into small mini-series and episodes. A real comic strip, which comes from the usual serial American work already become a cult item among fans. Very special graphic style of the work, made of a black and white with no shades, a hard style and cutting edge that goes well with the character of the saga Hard Boiled.

back in 1998 in tandem with Lynn Varley to write the Novel 300, which tells, in a heavily mythologized, the battle of Thermopylae. The author takes many liberties, such as describing the Spartans in battle completely naked, covered in piercing and Xerxes a hunchback Ephialtes deformed.
However, the work is intense and beautiful, a hymn to the courage and honor.

Miller is the author of many works: Ronin always in collaboration with Lynn Varley , Give me liberty along with Dave Gibbons (Watchmen ) Hard Boiled by Geof Darrow , Robocop with Juan Jose Ryp .
The comic book version of Robocop released in response to the fact that his scripts for Robocop 2 and 3 were not met, but his name was also included in the titles. In 2003 he released the fact "his" Robocop , as would have been to the movies.

His works are still highly inspired the world of cinema. The first Batman of Tim Burton goes back to its renovated dark character of the character, and the recent Batman Begins of Christopher Nolan there are clear references to Batman: Year One .
In 2005 è uscito poi un ottimo Sin City di Robert Rodriguez e nel 2007 300 di Zack Snyder , nei quali lo stesso Miller ha collaborato attivamente al progetto, rendendo quindi i prodotti molto più fedeli alla sua idea iniziale.

Attualmente Miller sembra essere molto più interessato al cinema che hai fumetti.
Nel 2009 uscirà The Spirit , adattamento del celebre personaggio di Will Eisner .

Average Cost For Cat Cataract

Ghost in the Shell Live Action


Un anno fa girava voce che il famoso anime tratto dal manga di Masamune Shirow ( Appleseed ) sarebbe stato presto realizzato con attori in carne ed ossa, forte ormai del successo planetario di un prodotto che da tempo ormai è diventato un vero cult della fantascenza.

Pare che la Dreamworks di Steven Spielberg abbia acquisito i diritti, e sembra intenzionata a realizzare il film utilizzando la stessa tecnica 3D che vedremo nell'ultimo film di James Cameron , AVATAR . La sceneggiatura del film sarà scritta da Jamie Moss (che ha appena scritto Street Kings ), Avi Arad (ex superproduttore Marvel ), Ari Arad and Steven Paul will be among the producers.

Created in 1991, the manga talks about the Mobile Armored Riot Police .
Set in the twenty-first century Ghost in the Shell surface is a futuristic spy thriller that follows the exploits of Major Motoko Kusanagi , a member of the Ninth Section, an elite team of undercover operations of the National Commission of Public Safety Japanese specializes in fighting technology-related crimes.
Although technically is equal degree to other members, Kusanagi plays the role of team leader and is known more solitatamente a causa del suo passato rango nelle forze armate. È quasi completamente robotizzata, un cervello umano in un corpo artificiale capace di imprese sovrumane e specializzata per il suo lavoro.


L'ambientazione di Ghost in the Shell è distintivamente cyberpunk o postcyberpunk , simile a quelle della Trilogia dello Sprawl dello scrittore di fantascienza William Gibson , sebbene l'opera di Shirow sia maggiormente focalizzata sulle ramificazioni etiche e filosofiche della fusione tra l'umanità e la tecnologia.

Gran parte degli uomini sono collegati alla rete, a that can be accessed not only through physical terminal, but mainly through their own facilities within the brain. In addition, the cybercervello allows you to use your memory with the same elasticity as that of a computer, deleting events, overwrite, or even storing books with ease. Several men are now cyborg, or are in a robotic hand partially organic.

What differentiates a robot from a full cyborg is the presence of a human brain and the Ghost ( understood as "soul" ) something intrinsic and inexplicable that allows men to "feel" special feeling. The Ghost instinct is not mediated by the calculations. The development of artificial intelligence and an omnipresent computer network are the stage for the revolution of human identity and uniqueness of oneself. In particular, the manga tackles these issues directly: Kusanagi and her colleagues face external threats as well as suffering internal conflicts due to their own natures.

But what if the AI \u200b\u200b become so advanced themselves to claim the rights of a human being? This is one of the strands of Ghost in the Shell , able to propose, in addition to tales of action and investigation, although significant problems etici e religiosi.


Nel 1995 fu realizzato il primo adattamento cinematografico della serie, diretto da Mamoru Oshii . A differenza della serie a fumetti, il lungometraggio ha un ritmo molto più lento e gli stessi personaggi sono molto più seri e approfonditi. Oshii ebbe il difficile compito di condensare in 115 minuti un opera molto lunga e complessa, e per farlo si concentrò unicamente sul caso del Marionettista ( Signore dei Pupazzi nella versione italiana).
Alcuni considerano questa conversione superficiale, confondente e noiosa, secondo altri si è focalizzato sulla storia rendendola molto more mature and artistically pleasing as the original.
The film was praised as one of the first anime to blend seamlessly drawn and computer animation.

In 2002 was made an animated series directed by Kenji Kamiyama, GHOST IN THE SHELL : Stand Alone Complex oriented style of the original manga, but following a different story.

In 2004 released following the first anime, also directed by Mamoru Oshii entitled INNOCENCE. This, according to many critics, the first noir fiction. The quality of the animation, the soundtrack, the relentless search and display of quotations make it a unique book of its kind. In Italy was established at the cinema until August 2006 with the title GHOST IN THE SHELL: Attack of the Cyborg to replace the original INNOCENCE.
