U.S. officials are keeping a low profile regarding the Turkish movie The Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, even as the film continues to attract huge audiences in Turkey and Germany. Today's (Thursday) European edition of the U.S. Army newspaper Stars and Stripes quoted Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as saying, "It is a fictitious movie. ... It clearly does not have any basis in fact, and there is no reason for us to comment on fiction." In fact, however, the movie is based on an incident that occurred on July 4, 2003 when U.S. soldiers arrested 11 Turkish officers, pulled bags over their heads, and detained them for questioning. (The action was never explained; the officers were later released.) Other characters in the film, however, are clearly fictional, including a murderous U.S. officer played by Billy Zane, and a Jewish doctor, played by Gary Busey, who harvests the organs of Iraqi prisoners, which he sells to wealthy clients in Israel and the West. In the conservative National Review, writer Jim Geraghty commented, "Pardon my French, but Billy, Gary... you're whores. You will contribute to the vilest propaganda for a pile of cash." The BBC's Middle East expert, Cengiz Candar, remarked, "This film poisons the climate in a way that it enhances jingoistic nationalism among Turks." But the English-language Turkish publication Dogan Daily News said on its website today, "However hostile the film may be, it is more likely to be the product of anti-American feelings in Turkey than the cause of it. A study shows that favorable views of America declined from 52 percent of Turks in 2000 to 15 percent in 2003." And Bulent Arinc, president of the Turkish National Assembly, praised it in an interview with the Anatolia news agency. "It is an extraordinary film that will go down in history," he said.

Such contrasts serve to make the violence more abhorrent but crucially Tykwer’s camera never lingers over the more graphic nature of the deaths (unlike the novel), pausing only to allow Grenouille the chance to admire each new scent.
As a result, audiences will find themselves enthralled by the direction the story takes them in, as well as stunned by the audacious spectacle of its conclusion.
Performance-wise, Whishaw turns Grenouille into a fascinating villain, displaying an almost primal instinct when choosing his victims, yet somehow retaining a sense of humanity. He relies on looks more than words but manages to transmit a range of emotions.
Stalwart thesps Hoffman and Rickman are also typically colossal – the former giving rise to several amusing moments as he seeks to utilise Grenouille’s talent, and the latter providing a wily adversary.
Fans of the novel should therefore delight in the fact that Tykwer has had the courage to keep Suskind’s vision intact, while newcomers will watch with awe or disgust as he allows proceedings to run their course.

Syriana
Syriana has also been criticized for political reasons. Baer's book describes his attempts to assassinate Saddam Hussein, but in the movie the figure whom Clooney is to assassinate is a benevolent, liberal prince. (This may have been changed for authenticity, as the capture of Saddam Hussein took place two years before the movie's release.) Many, though not all of its critics come from the political right. Charles Krauthammer criticized the film for "anti-American" views and moral equivalence, stating that "Osama bin Laden could not have scripted this film with more conviction." Fellow Post columnist Richard Cohen (a self-described liberal) calls its portrayals of terrorists, the CIA, oil companies, and the U.S. government "crude clichés"

Nochnoy Dozor
Russian cinema is certainly not known for its science fiction or fantasy movies. Yet, it did produce two minor “classics” of the genre. Both directed by Andrej Tarkosky, Solaris (1972) and Stalker (1979) were typical of Russia’s traditional cinema: tortured characters, convoluted plot, very slow action. That was until director Timur Bekmanbetov decided to shake up the whole movie industry with a feature film that was unlike anything that had ever been done in Russia before. Night Watch (released by Fox Searchlight on Feb. 17, 2006) is the Russian answer to The Matrix, as much as Solaris had been a reaction to 2001: A Space Odyssey. The response of the Russian audience has been more than enthusiastic: boosted by a marketing campaign of unprecedented scale, Night Watch quickly became the highest grossing film ever released in post-soviet Russia. The plot echoes the classic theme of supernatural beings conducting a secret war behind the curtain of human history, as seen in films such as Highlander (1986), Blade (1998) and Underworld (2003). In Night Watch, this secret war opposes two different kinds of vampires: the Forces of Light and the Forces of the Dark. Centuries ago, a truce put an end to the open war that had been raging between the two forces. According to this truce, the Forces of Light would secretly rule the daytime, while the Forces of the Dark would be free to roam at night. Ever since, “Watchers” with special powers have been monitoring the activity of the other side, trying to interfere with its schemes to seize complete power[…]
Nói albínói
From a Dagus Kari's interview :
A: The character of NÓI has been living inside me for many years. He is even older than my interest in films, and at some point I considered making cartoons or comics with that character. Throughout the years I have collected all kinds of ideas related to him, and by the time I graduated from film school these ideas were ripe to be incorporated into a script.
Q: What about the location of the film?
A: The film was not supposed to take place in an isolated village. I was thinking more about Reykjavik. But finally I thought that the Icelandic capital was too connected to reality. I wanted to create a universe that did not really exist, but could. To me the West Fjords were most interesting because of the eerie atmosphere and beautiful, extremely visual scenery. Of course we were very dependent on snow and that was the area that was most likely to have snow. During winter it can be completely cut off from the rest of the world due to extreme weather.

Pi
The 216-letter name of God sought by the characters of the film is actually widely known and called the Shemhamphorash or the Divided Name. It comes from Exodus 14:19-21. Each of these three verses is composed of seventy-two letters in the original Hebrew. If one writes the three verses in boustrophedon form — one above the other, the first from right to left, the second from left to right, and the third from right to left — one gets seventy-two columns of three-letter names of God. The seventy-two names are divided into four columns of eighteen names each. Each of the four columns represents one of the four letters of the Tetragrammaton.
The actual name of God, according to Jewish traditions, is the Tetragrammaton (YHWH or YHVH). This is the name that was intoned in the temple once a year during Yom Kippur, as referenced in the film. What has been lost is not the spelling of the name, as in the film, but the true pronunciation, since words written in Hebrew in the Torah do not include vowels. Furthermore, in the case of the Tetragrammaton, when vowels were used, the actual vowels were replaced with the vowels of the word Adonai to avoid pronouncing the Tetragrammaton, which is a taboo in Judaism.
In addition, it would be highly unlikely that the Hebrew Schemhamphoras would translate into 216 digits in a decimal system for several reasons:
- There is no zero in Hebrew numerals.
- The Hebrew number system is non-positional.
"I belonged to a new underclass, no longer determined by social status or the color of your skin.
We now have discrimination down to a science. "

Lost Highway
The storyline is thought to be based on Ambrose Bierce's famous story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,
in which a war prisoner is hanged, during which the victim imagines escaping and traveling home .
In his book Catching The Big Fish, Lynch reveals that it was only years later when he realized what inspired the storyline: the O.J. Simpson trial.
The fact that the escape was a dying man's hallucination is however only revealed at the end of the story.
A similar construction is thought to be used in Lost Highway, where the protagonist is arguably electrocuted at the end of the movie.
Other movies based on the same idea are
Jacob's Ladder by Adrian Lyne, an episode of The Twilight Zone based on the aforementioned Bierce story and Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
Philosopher Slavoj Žižek authored a paper on Lost Highway
in which he interprets the film's bipartite structure as exploiting
"the opposition of two horrors:
the fantasmatic horror of the nightmarish noir universe of perverse sex, betrayal, and murder,
and the (perhaps much more unsettling) despair of our drab, alienated daily life of impotence and distrust"

Dead Man
There are multiple references in the film to the poetry of William Blake. Nobody recites from several Blake poems, including Auguries of Innocence, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and The Everylasting Gospel, and is surprised that none of them impress, or even seem familiar to, his oddly-named travelling companion (who at one point mistakenly retorts, "I've had it up to here with this Indian malarkey!" - Depp's Blake never seems to catch on about the existence of the poet, although on the movie soundtrack and in the promotional music video, Depp recites passages from Blake.) When bounty hunter Cole warns his companions against drinking from standing water, it references the Proverb of Hell (from the aforementioned Marriage), "Expect poison from standing water". Thel's name is also a reference to Blake's The Book of Thel.

Twelve Monkeys
Inspired from La Jetée :
[..]In the movie, the survivors of a destroyed Paris in the aftermath of World War III live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries.
They research time travel, hoping to send someone back before the devastating war to recover food, medicine, or energy for the present, "to summon the past and future to the aid of the present." The traveler is a male prisoner; his vague but obsessive childhood memory of witnessing a woman (Hélène Chatelain) during a violent incident on the boarding platform ("The Jetty") at Orly Airport is used as the key to his journey back in time.
He is thrown back to the past again and again. He repeatedly meets and speaks to the woman who was present at the terminal. After his successful passages to the past, the experimenters attempt to send him into the deep future. In a brief meeting with the technologically advanced people of the future, he is given a power unit sufficient to regenerate his own destroyed society.
On his return, he is cast aside by his jailers to die. Before he can be executed, he is contacted by the people of the future, who offer to help him escape to their time, but he asks to be returned to the time of his childhood. He is returned, only to find the violent incident he partially witnessed as a child was his own death as an adult.[...]

Rebels of the Neon God
The Taiwanese title refers to Nezha, a powerful child god in Chinese classical mythology
who was born into a human family.
Nezha is impulsive and disobedient. He tries to kill his father,
but is brought under control when a Taoist immortal (Nezha's spiritual mentor)
gives the father a miniature pagoda that enables him to control his rebellious son.
This resonates in the film a number of ways:
Lee's mother believes that he is Nezha reincarnated,
and Tze and Bing try to pawn off some stolen goods to an arcade proprieter named Nezha.
Before the pawning of the stolen goods,
Lee vandalizes Tze's motorcycle, including graffiti stating "Here is Nezha."

Conan the Barbarian
Because of their physical similarity to humans a replicant must be detected by its lack of emotional responses and empathy to questions posed in a Voight-Kampff machine test. A derogatory term for replicant is "skin-job" (in the original release, the Deckard voiceover explicitly states this--in the subsequent releases without the voiceover, the viewer must infer this).
As of 2019, the latest model of replicant, almost indistinguishable from humans. In fact, the Tyrell Corporation advertises this model as "More human than human." If replicants are given memories (and thus think that they are indeed human), the VK test almost fails--Rachel was exposed on the very last question.
In the film, the character Chew is revealed as the Tyrell Corporation employee who designed the eyes for Nexus-6 replicants Roy and Leon. They both hunt him down and demand to know how to enter Tyrell's inner sanctum.
Roy Batty, perhaps the most perfect of this series, and the one who led the rebellion of replicants back to Earth, said he had done "Questionable things." His creator, Tyrell, replied that he had done "extraodinary things."
Like all replicants, they had a limited lifespan, the Nexus-6 being genetically designed to have a very short lifespan of just a few years. Batty and the other replicants returned to Earth to seek more life, but Tyrell said he was unable to alter the genetic make-up of the series.
As he sat dying with Deckard on a rooftop, Batty said of the uniqueness of the Nexus-6 Series and their ability to go where no humans had gone, and do things no human had done.

1997 : Escape from New York
In 1981, Bantam Books published a movie tie-in novel written by Mike McQuay that adopts a lean, humorous style reminiscent of the film. The novel is significant in that it includes scenes that were cut out of the film, like the Federal Reserve Despository robbery that results in Snake's incarceration.
The novel also provides motivation and backstory to both Snake and Hauk — both disillusioned war veterans — deepening their relationship that was only hinted at it in the final film.
The novel explains how Snake lost his eye during the Battle for Leningrad in World War III and how Hauk became warden of New York and of his quest to find his crazy son who lives somewhere in the prison.
The novel also fleshes out the world that these characters exist in, at times presenting a future even bleaker than the one depicted in the movie.
The west coast is a no-man's land and the country's population is gradually being driven crazy by nerve gas as a result of World War III.
Over the next 15 years, DAS BOOT remained on many "top films of all time" lists and has been cited by many filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg, as a primary influence on the intensity, technological superiority and visceral excitement of the contemporary action-adventure film. So why try to make a classic better?
In this case, the answer is because it was clearly possible due in part to the unusual way in which the motion picture was originally shot. Back in the early 1980s, director Wolfgang Petersen wrote and filmed DAS BOOT with two aims in mind: to create a major motion picture for international release and to simultaneously create a six-hour epic for German television.[...]

The first few plotlines with their post-apocalyptic setting, with vicious motorized gangs terrorizing settler groups.
Kenshiro's garb and appearance may be modeled on Mel Gibson's character.
The fictional military force Barjack in the Battle Angel Alita manga uses vehicles armed and modified that appear to have been inspired by the vehicles used in The Road Warrior.
A weather beaten old fisherman tells an ancient tale of betrayal
and death to fascinated children as they huddle together by their campfire.
As a piece of driftwood in a child’s hands glows
with spectral light an eerie fog envelops the bay
and from it’s midst emerge dripping demonic victims of a century old shipwreck…
seeking revenge.

Shining
..
Many people involved in the film production had untimely deaths. Many attribute the long and arduous shooting schedule of the film,
and the physical conditions of the terrain where it was made. Vladimir Sharun recalls:
| “ | We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Pirita with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larissa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris. | ” |
It is suspected that the 1957 accident in the Mayak nuclear fuel reprocessing plant,
which resulted in a several thousand square kilometer deserted "zone" outside the reactor ,
may have influenced this film. Seven years after the making of the film,
the Chernobyl accident completed the circle.
In fact, those employed to take care of the abandoned nuclear power plant refer to themselves as "stalkers",
and to the area around the damaged reactor as the "Zone."

Apocalypse Now
Although inspired by Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, the film deviates extensively from its source material. The novella, based on Conrad's real experiences as a steam paddleboat captain in Africa, is set in the Belgian Congo during the 19th century. Kurtz and Marlow (who is named Willard in the movie) both work for a Belgian trading company that brutally exploits its native African workers.
When Marlow arrives at Kurtz's outpost, he discovers that Kurtz has gone insane and is lording over a small tribe as a god. The novella ends with Kurtz dying on the trip back and the narrator musing about darkness of the human psyche: "the heart of an immense darkness."

Halloween
Yablans and Akkad ceded most of the creative control to writers Carpenter and Hill (whom Carpenter wanted as producer), but Yablans did offer several suggestions. According to a Fangoria interview with Debra Hill, "Yablans wanted the script written like a radio show, with 'boos' every 10 minutes."
Hill explained that the script took only three weeks to write and much of the inspiration behind the plot came from Celtic traditions of Halloween such as the festival of Samhain. Although Samhain is not mentioned in the plot of the first film,
Hill asserts that the idea was that you couldn't kill evil, and that was how we came about the story. We went back to the old idea of Samhain, that Halloween was the night where all the souls are let out to wreak havoc on the living, and then came up with the story about the most evil kid who ever lived. And when John came up with this fable of a town with a dark secret of someone who once lived there, and now that evil has come back, that's what made Halloween work.
