Re: 1972 Poll 2.0

Post by rischka »

'Boxcar’ Bertha Thompson, a transient woman in Arkansas during the violence-filled Depression of the early ‘30s, meets up with rabble-rousing union man ’Big’ Bill Shelly and the two team up to fight the corrupt railroad establishment. Based on “Sister of the Road,” the 1937 pseudo-autobiography of fictional character Bertha Thompson, written by anarchist physician Dr. Ben L. Reitman.
k i have to watch this now. Edit: think its really bad but it might be David Carradine creeping me out. Edit edit: no. It's really bad

the most breathtaking/miraculous story of 1972 was not yet told in this thread!

while aimlessly browsing the films that i watched in the past, coincidentally, i stumbled upon a film called WHERE DID THE STEWARDESS FALL FROM? (Adéla Babanová, 2014) → https://www.kinometer.com/?id=211393&menu=film

it (in a purposefully twisted way — as Adéla Babanová usually does related to the weird/odd stories of the Czechoslovak past — this is her charming oeuvre → https://www.kinometer.com/?director=225 ... ear-latest ) retold the incident of January 26th 1972 when a lady fell on earth (on Czechoslovakia specifically) from heaven (from about 33330 ft/10160 meters)!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesna_Vulovi%C4%87
Vesna Vulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Вуловић, pronounced [ʋêsna ʋûːloʋitɕ]; 3 January 1950 – 23 December 2016) was a Serbian flight attendant who holds the Guinness world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 m (33,330 ft; 6.31 mi).
https://youtu.be/e6gvaqL-SOg
An Air Stewardess Fell 33,000 Feet And Lived To Tell The Tale 50 Years Ago Today
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/4 ... -ago-today
Vesna Vulovic, stewardess who survived 33,000ft fall, dies
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38427411
How A Stewardess Survived a 10,000-Metre Fall
https://historyofyesterday.com/how-a-st ... 4c96bbffdd
etc., etc., etc.

i must admit that a detail that i least understand about this whole story is why recovering Vesna was posing in a Prague hospital with the puppet of Schweik?!? truly weird/odd (beyond the grasp)!!!

seduction 1972 style...
Two little doggies wanted to cross the little river.
They didn't know how so.
They made a little footbridge.
But it was bad.
So two little doggies had a bath!
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.

Two little doggies went to a shop.
They didn't know they don't like pate.
And the shopkeeper gave them two pates!
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.

Two little doggies went to a meadow.
And found there a red ladybird.
And she has a lot of black dots!
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.
Si-bom, si-bom, la-la, la-la-la-la.

felt like a soviet war picture so i'm watching 'the dawns here are quiet' -- don't know that it will make my ballot but i'm enjoying the b&w vs stylized color segments

Finished it last night. Much yippee. Thanks, green. I have to wonder, though, if "familienserie" is an identifiable genre with its own conventions...

Does anybody know what that video Karl posted is? Google translate says "video of the barrage" and I can't find any Arabic or Persian movie called The Barrage.
