Book Synopsis Running the Race by : Brian Steel Wills
Download or read book Running the Race written by Brian Steel Wills and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thundering across the screen, Judah Ben-Hur’s iconic chariot race against his former friend turned bitter foe remains an indelible part of cinematic history and established Charlton Heston as an international superstar. In many ways the race was a metaphor for the actor’s dynamic life, symbolizing his struggle to establish himself in his profession. Brian Steel Wills’ captures for the first time a comprehensive view of the actor’s climb to fame, his search for the perfect performance, and the meaningful roles he played in support of the causes he embraced in Running the Race: The “Public Face” of Charlton Heston. The actor was born and raised in the Michigan woodlands and suburbs of Chicago, where he found his love of acting in the books he read and the movies he saw. “Chuck” Heston’s introduction to the craft that would become his life’s work began at New Trier High School and spilled over into Northwestern University. The Second World War interrupted his journey when he served his country, after which he and his wife Lydia headed to Asheville, North Carolina, where they both acted and directed in theater. The lights of New York City and Broadway beckoned, and live television offered an important platform, but Hollywood and feature films were his destiny. His roles were as varied as they were powerful, and included stints as Moses, Ben-Hur, El Cid, Michelangelo, Mike Vargas, and Charles “Chinese” Gordon under legendary directors like Cecil B. DeMille, William Wyler, Franklin Schaffner, and Orson Welles. He shifted to science fiction in Planet of the Apes and Soylent Green, a wide range of action and disaster films, and more nuanced roles such as Will Penny. Over his decades of performance Heston defined and redefined his “public face” in a constant quest for an audience for his work. He undertook wide-ranging public service roles for the government, the arts, and other causes. His leadership in the Screen Actors Guild and American Film Institute carried him from Hollywood to the halls of Congress. He became an outspoken advocate of the arts and other public and charitable causes, marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Washington, and supported Second Amendment rights with the National Rifle Association. He did so even when his positions often clashed with other actors on issues ranging from nuclear arms, national security, and gun rights. The proud independent shifted decidedly to the Republican Party and appeared at political rallies and conventions, but rebuffed calls to run for office in favor of assuming similar roles on the big screen. Award-winning historian Brian Steel Wills dug deep to paint a rich portrait of Heston’s extraordinary life—a mix of complications and complexities that touched film, television, theater, politics, and society. His carefully crafted “public face” was impactful in more ways than the ordinarily shy and private family man could have ever imagined.

Book excerpt: Lorsque Judah Ben-Hur retrouve son ami d'enfance Messala, celui-ci est devenu commandant des légions romaines en Judée. Une promotion que le jeune homme, héritier d'une ancienne famille de Jérusalem, ne peut approuver. De là à se douter que, bientôt, ils se haïront...Car, à la suite d'un accident qu'on l'accuse d'avoir provoqué, Ben-Hur est condamné à devenir esclave, tandis que sa mère et sa soeur sont jetées en prison. Cette sentence, Messala est chargé de l'exécuter. Et c'est ainsi que Ben-Hur se retrouve enchaîné, au fond d'une galère...L'amitié d'un riche protecteur, les confidences de Messala aux portes de la mort lui rendront pourtant la liverté. A la recherche des siens, Ben-Hur fait alors une rencontre qui ébranle sa foi et bouleverse sa vie: celle du Christ...Ce roman messianique devenu film culte - nul n'a oublié l'incroyable prestation de Charlton Heston dans le film de William Wyler (1959) - a été traduit dans toutes les langues et vendu à quatre millions d'exemplaires dans le monde._________________________________________Les chevaux approchaient au trot. Aux acclamations et à la beauté de l'attelage, on aurait pu croire à quelque grand personnage ou à un prince célèbre.Ben Hur se leva donc et se força un passage jusqu'à la barrière devant la première rangée de sièges de la tribune. Son visage était sévère, son allure ardente.Et soudain, toute la personne du conducteur fut en vue. Un compagnon le suivait représentant l'exacte description de Myrtilius. Ben Hur ne vit que le conducteur, droit sur son char, les rênes passées plusieurs fois autour du corps.Une silhouette élégante, à peine couverte par une tunique de tissu rouge clair; dans la main droite, un fouet; dans l'autre, le bras levé et légèrement étendu, les quatre guides.La pose était gracieuse à l'excès tandis que les acclamations et les battements de mains étaient accueillis avec une indifférence de statue. Ben Hur resta médusé - son instinct et sa mémoire l'avaient fidèlement servi -, le conducteur était Messala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ is considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century." It became a best-selling American novel, surpassing Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) in sales. The book also inspired other novels with biblical settings and was adapted for the stage and motion picture productions. The story recounts in descriptive detail the adventures of Judah Ben-Hur, a fictional Jewish prince from Jerusalem, who is enslaved by the Romans at the beginning of the 1st century and becomes a charioteer and a Christian. Running in parallel with Judah's narrative is the unfolding story of Jesus, who comes from the same region and is a similar age. The novel reflects themes of betrayal, conviction, and redemption, with a revenge plot that leads to a story of love and compassion. Lewis Wallace (April 10, 1827 - February 15, 1905) was an American lawyer, Union general in the American Civil War, governor of the New Mexico Territory, politician, diplomat, and author from Indiana. Among his novels and biographies, Wallace is best known for his historical adventure story, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880), a bestselling novel that has been called "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century."

Book Synopsis Hollywood Biblical Epics by : Richard Lindsay
Download or read book Hollywood Biblical Epics written by Richard Lindsay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only book of its kind to explore biblical epics from an LGBT perspective, studying films from the silent era, to the postwar major studio era, to the present day. In spite of restrictive Hollywood censorship regulations, filmmakers throughout history have pushed the boundaries of sex and violence when making religious films. In this unrivaled text, author and educator Richard Lindsay analyzes the relationship between bible-based epics and "camp"—films with overwrought acting, casts of thousands, and exotic sexuality. Lindsay presents the ways in which camp style identifies films as "biblical" in the mainstream imagination, while undermining their traditional religious messages through the inclusion of sexually diverse subtexts. Viewed through this lens, this provocative book explores topics like the Jazz Age excesses of The King of Kings, the pre-code decadence of The Sign of the Cross, the horror movie tropes of The Passion of the Christ, and comparisons between Ben-Hur and the gay male fantasies of 1960s beefcake magazines. Additional content features the history of biblical epics and a comparison of the pious expectations of filmgoers against the real content of the films.
