NARRATOR: "Now Willie may never sing opera. But do not be too hard on Tetti-Tatti, because he was not able to understand. Willie could sing which was a miracle, and people not accustomed to miracles. And you, a small and loyal friend, do not be so sad, because miracles really never die. Somewhere in heaven reserved for the creatures, Willie continues to sing, now with a hundred voices, each more dazzling than the last, and so glad that voice will sing forever. "CURIOSITIES
is the eighth Disney animated classic, and the third film package (consisting of various short) that the company premiered at the 1940. A total of six films about packages, the study created during a time of crisis since the Second World War. This film was followed by "The Adventures of Bongo, Mickey and the Beanstalk," "Melody Time" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." After this, the study would recover thanks to the success of "Cinderella."
In "Music Master" was abandoned in the style of previous films packages "Saludos Amigos" and "The Three Caballeros." On this occasion not narrate cultural trips through stories, but tried to recreate the style of "Fantasia" combining short with music. The difference is that this time they tried to make use of modern music under the 1940 where the film premiered.
The animation of the poem "Evening Blue" had been created for the movie "Fantasia" in 1940, specifically for the short film "Moonlight." At the time the segment had to be cut, and decided to use it in this movie to a new musical composition.
In the segment of "The Bat Casey, you can see a sign on the stadium wall announcing that Mudville 9 are playing against Burbank in the decider. This is not nothing but a play on words to refer to the location of the Walt Disney Studios.
"The Andrews Sisters" helped the film in the segment "Story of a Love Affair." The group would return to work in the film package "Melody Time" in 1948, singing in the segment "Little Toot." Nelson Eddy sang in all shades, from base to soprano, in the short "La Ballena wanted to sing at the Opera."
The most popular segment of the entire movie was "Peter the Wolf", to maintain the style of a folk tale, with a use of music considered extraordinary. In fact, this segment has also been released on video and this is considered one of the Disney classic mini (Something that also occurred in the segment "Bongo" the following classic, for instance). However, the critics and the public did not welcome the film favorably. This was because it was the first release from Disney after the end of World War II. For this reason, the public expected that the study back in the style of his first five classics, something that did not occur.
When the film was released on video, short of "The Martins and the Coys" was removed from this. The reason was due to the use of firearms by the two clans who were hesitant to use them to finish against each other. This was regarded as excessive violence, although it was not shown to anyone dying at any time. Another reason was the implied violence between the surviving partner, although it was not visible, is implied by the objects and noises coming from the house. In short the segment was removed for its violence, and has never been released on video or DVD.
PERSONAL NOTE
I have always considered this film as the beginning of the recovery of Disney, but not standout as bright. I consider it the third best of the so-called six films that opened packages during the 1940's. In when making an assessment of the film is necessary to examine each segment, but if there is something we all have in common is the successful use of music, which is also representative of 1946.
In the film we see two types of segments, long and short. In general, and while you make a successful use of music, short segments are generally poor and poorly made. "Evening Blue" seems to have a coherent narrative purpose, and this is most evident when one realizes that it is a cut scene from "Fantasia." The same applies to "Three Words", which turns out to be nothing else than the attempt to introduce a song of love without any narrative. "After you left" shows a good idea, we of traro animated instruments to the beat of the music, but also ends short stay, without developing an idea that might have worked by providing a substantive argument. "A Dream in Silhouette" shows two dancers on which you draw a silhouette of color. Again we have a good idea that failed due to the chosen song and dance accompanied by a rather poor. Finally, the unique short segment that I thought was original "When cats Board" for being a brilliant allegory for the youth of the time, being is defined through the music he enjoyed. It achieves this segment inspire a sense of youth in the audience, regardless of the generation to which it belongs.
The other segments are longer and are more fun to show a story with accompanying argument very successful musical selections. It is the less funny the elimination of "The Martins & The Coys" because this I think is one of the three segments of the film better. I think too much worry about the alleged violence that shows, especially when it is developed in a comic, and turns out to be downright fun. Such violence does not seem concern to those responsible for the film in the segment of "The Bat Casey." In this case, shows an athlete with the attitude of an arrogant bully, but perhaps his inclusion is due to behavior that leads to failure, which functions as a moral right. "Story of a Love Affair" is like a story that defends the faith in love. I loved the originality of wearing hats "humanized." It shows the romance, separation suffering, seeking to find through some difficulties, and finally the triumph of love behind the tour suffered. The use of music is really exceptional. Coming to the second best segment of the film "The whale who wanted to sing at the Opera" is an extraordinary combination of comedy and drama. It shows us a character who is tender at the same time funny and original. Can not say anything of a whale that has the ability to sing opera. However, those funny moments leading to a tragic end which incidentally is the end of the film, something I'm not sure has been rather successful. Finally we arrive at the best segment of the film, and indeed the best known today, "Peter and the Wolf." For a child, the story is an adventure in which the protagonist is the hero that every child would be. The pattern of history continues the search, acquisition of partners in this, to finish facing a villain, in this case the wolf. The story also works for an adult, which evokes that sense of adventure that had to be kids, and a rare feeling of nostalgia.
Ultimately, the film as a whole does not seem bad, and even surpasses some classic post that did not work as movies package. Although the quality animation so exceeds that of the first five classic Disney has a very strong quality in their favor, and this is nothing but a great soundtrack, representative of an era.

NERON:" It ends the spring. Come the summer heat. That stench bounce then Rome. "CURIOSITIES
Originally, John Huston was going to be in charge of directing the film, but abandoned the project due to disagreements concerning the script. It was then that the direction was given to Mervyn LeRoy. The film project started in year 1 949. The original idea was to hire Elizabeth Taylor in the role of Ligia, and Gregory Peck in the role of Marco Vinicio. But in 1950, production changed hands, and the leading roles were taken over by Deborah Kerr and Robert Taylor. Anyway, Elizabeth Taylor made a brief appearance as a Christian prisoner in the arena, but received no credit for this. Sophia Loren also appears uncredited in the role of a slave in the palace of Nero.
Clark Gable turned down the role of the uniform Vinicio whereas it would take a look ridiculous. Kathleen Byron was considered for the role of Ligia. Among other actresses who auditioned for tests with the intention of getting a role, Audrey Hepburn was famous before. It is also the film debut of Bud Spencer, who plays one of the guards of the Emperor Ner ng.
Peter Ustinov had taken on the role of Nero, one year before the shooting of the film began. During that waiting time received a notice stating that although they were still interested in participating, they were worried he was too young to play Nero. Nero responded by noting that Ustinov had died at thirty and age, so if you wait too long, then it would be too old to play it. Soon received a response indicating that historical data were real, and that the paper would be yours. Mervyn LeRoy advised Peter Ustinov as Nero playing explaining that he imagined as a madman who would not stop playing with himself at night. Ustinov used this depravity as the basis for interpretation.
The model of the new city of Rome that Nero taught his advisers during the film, was originally built by the government or Mussolini as part of an exhibition of Roman architecture, 1937. The producers took it borrowed from the Italian government after the war.
The film was shot in Rome, Cinecittà Studios. Among his achievements were made with a record of use of costumes and disguises that included thirty in total. Teeth are also ten actors with a say in the film, and made use of more than thirty thousand extras. One of the problems that were found in the shoot was that the Lions returned to their cages after being released, because the arena were too hot. Director Mervyn LeRoy overcame this problem by having several uniforms were filled by fresh meat.
The film received eight Oscar nominations for the Academy. Two of them were for Best Supporting Actor Leo Genn fall on (On the role of Petronius) and Peter Ustinov (For the role of Nero). The other nominations were awarded to Best Art Direction, Best Color Cinematography, Best Design color Costume, Best Editing, Best Score and Best Picture. However, the film was the big loser of the delivery of that year, failing to clinch a single Oscar. The big winner this year was "An American in Paris."
PERSONAL NOTE This is probably one of the Christian-themed blockbusters, and the Roman Empire produced. Undoubtedly, there are numerous historical inconsistencies include the actual way in which the Emperor Nero and Empress Poppea, for instance, died. Anyway, remember that the film is not based on historical facts but merely on the novel of the same title written by Henryk Sienkiewicz.
Despite this, it is clear how well the film shows the corruption of the Roman Empire, and its weakness lie with insane Emperors times incapable of leading the people. In that sense, I think Peter Ustinov makes a magistrates work playing l Nero, making the audience starts laughing at his quirky eccentricity, so that this happens to cause real fear and revulsion at his dementia. It is without doubt one of the best performances of Ustinov, who had well deserved an Oscar. The film shows a consistent manner the rise and fall of Christianity during the reign of Nero, that did not stop these fans make religious martyrs. The circus scenes are breathtaking, and without graphics getting her shiver.
The film is a display of power that can be seen in scenes like Vinicio entry into Rome, the city fire, or those that take place in the circus. It's one of those blockbusters that we remembered for posterity, they are not needed computer-generated effects to create something great.
The first time I saw the movie was just a kid, and was one of those perpetual Easter emissions along with other films like " Ben-Hur," which always visit us on TV during that time. In the eyes of a child seemed like a wonderful film that contained it all: action, romance, intrigue, and some degree of terror. Undoubtedly it was a movie that did not enjoy his deserved reward, after failing to be done with one of its eight Oscar nominations. Despite this, the time has put in place as a classic of cinema, must for any viewer to consider cinephile.
HISTORY (This section contains details of the plot and story)
the film's action takes place between 64 AD and 68 AD. After the reign of Emperor Claudius, the Emperor Nero has again proven to be destructive and corrupt, and power threatens to destroy the Roman peace established, while Christianity begins to increase within the pagan empire, but always hidden in the underground . Marco Vinicio
Legacy is back after taking part in battles against the barbarians, but point entering the city is ordered to wait. Vinicio is directed to the presence of Nero that explains the wait is due to the need to give a grand entrance for the benefit of the people. Vinicio's uncle, Petronius, is the favorite counselor of Nero and sends Vinicio to rest at the residence of Aulus Placio. There Vinicius falls in love with Lygia, converted hostage Placio adopted daughter, and presence of Paul's visit, unaware that one of the apostles of Jesus Christ and Placio's family has converted to Christianity. Ligia is attracted to Vinicius, but disapproves of their attachment to the Roman Empire and its violence. After
Vinicio triumphal entry, it gets that Nero Ligia hands over as a reward for their services, which unleashes jealousy of the Empress Poppaea. Petronio sharply criticizes the verses of the Emperor on fire and it consumes, but does so cleverly won the gratitude of this. However, Nero starts to believe that his verses are not worthy because he has never seen a city burn. Lygia escapes with the help of a Christian palace called Acte, which the m ism time in love with Nero and is expelled by this, promising to return when the Emperor needed. Vinicius, Lygia is a Christian view and the location of a meeting led by the apostle Peter. Trying to take it by force, Vinicio is wounded, but served by Lygia and Ursus protector. Vinicius is about to surrender to the love professed by Ligia, and met Paul who visits the home at the time. However, Vinicio is unable to adapt to a Christian life, which includes submission peace and liberation of their slaves. Therefore decided to release its control Ligia, after smashing the wooden cross that hangs on one wall, succumbing to anger again.
Meanwhile, the madness of Nero is in progress, and decides to burn the city of Rome to build a new and compose an epic about the destruction. Vinicio comes to the rescue of Lygia noticing the decline of the Empire due to the Emperor. The Village unleashes his wrath on Nero, and to escape this, the Emperor blamed Christians l fire and makes capturing, including Lygia and her family. For its part, Petronio shown against the impending murder of Christians, and sensing his own decides to commit suicide, an act in which his slave and mistress accompanying Eunice. He leaves behind a letter to Nero express their true opinion on this. After warning of the situation at General Galva to go take control of the Empire, Vinicio attempts to rescue the family and is arrested Ligia also due to the jealousy of Poppea.
Leaving Rome in the company of a boy named Nazario, Pedro receives a message from the Lord on the Appian Way back urging you to support Christians. The slaughter of Christians begins in the circus, where Peter Nero breaks accusing of being the real man behind the burning of Rome. Peter is taken to prison while the first group of Christians is thrown to the lions. In prison, Pedro Vinicio home Ligia and has understood the real value of Christianity peaceful. Another group of Christian s is crucified, among which Aulus is pleased, that again accusing Nero of the fire. The attitude of Christians, singing to his death with joy, begins to doubt the people who come to the massacres of the circus. For his part Peter was crucified upside down, saying die like Jesus Christ is more than he deserves. Poppaea
plans his revenge on the next slaughter circus. Ligia is tied to a pole in the sand where a bull is released, while Vinicius is forced to watch from the pleasure of Nero. Ursus is given the opportunity to save face the animal, and succeeds. Despite that Nero ordered the death of Ursus and Ligia, a fact that puts the people and their advisers against him. Vinicio jumps to the sand and Nero blamed the fire by getting people to believe him. It also announces the imminent arrival of Galba to take command of the Empire. The people are outraged by the truth, and the unnecessary slaughter of Christians, turned against Nero that escapes to the palace. Besieged
there, Nero strangles Poppaea culp andola of all the disasters that have happened. At that time Actea reappears to help as promised, the now lone Emperor. Asking him to commit suicide to end with some honor. Incapable due to his cowardice, Nero asks for help, and pushed the dagger Acte to the chest of Nero who finally dies.
At dawn, the General Galba enters Rome to take command of the Empire, but many Romans suspect that this was not simply the beginning of the end of the Empire. Vinicius, Lygia and Ursus leave Rome in the company of Nazario. Passing the Appian Way are the staff of Peter miraculously covered with flowers. The group realizes that the place is now sacred. After leaving the place, this is covered by a miraculous light that proclaims "I am the way, the truth and the life." SCENE
No doubt most epic scene of this great production. Rome burns while Nero mad notes for his composition.
