I am very surprised at the number of negative comments about this film. My wife and I both loved it. We found the action scenes and cinematography to both be exceptional. I agree with the criticism that the retreat of the British troops to “effect a square” seemed a bit out of kilter in that they seemed almost hopelessly surrounded but somehow escaped. To us, however, this was a cramped blemish on very believeable action sequences and a very provocative legend. I have seen the 1939 version several times and enjoyed it, but this was great better to me.
Those who seem to have a scrape with this movie seem to have standards few historical action films would meet. Perhaps they objective don’t savor the genre. I happen to bask in films such as the Daniel Day-Lewis version of The Last of the Mohicans, The Patriot, etc. If you be pleased those type films, you will almost certainly appreciate this one. If you don’t, you won’t. This film is not totally suitable to the book. So what? It’s a darn fine movie! Unprejudiced relax, be transported abet to the heyday of the British Empire and delight in a estimable historical action film with a esteem myth and glorious action scenes and suspense.
As a unique, the Four Feathers is an extremely introspective and psychological work, which obviously poses vital problems for whoever intends to adapt it. In reality there is very minute action in the book, apart from a very lickety-split knife fight, which again poses problems. I would hazard a guess that the Four Feathers’ reputation as a “Victorian yarn” is based more in the earlier renditions of the film, rather than in the modern. This current version departs from the recent in a number of ways, but I would argue that this is its’ strength, rather than weakness. The filmmakers obviously saw potential in the setting and basic situation of the yarn, but decided to buy it in their hold direction. Some would call that blasphemy, but a film is not a book. Maybe the filmmakers looked at the Four Feathers, and didn’t WANT to create a movie that was as finish to the book as humanly possible. It’s their prerogative- because they aren’t rewriting the novel-they’re making the movie.

Adapting a recent into a film is always tricky, especially when the unique was written a century ago. A lot can change in a hundred years. Calm, enough can remain the same, that many fans of the new will nail you to the wall for every inaccuracy and alteration. In the case of “the Four Feathers” there are so many ways you can criticize the recent film, that it’s almost comic. Read one or two of the negative reviews below, and you’ll peer complaints about state holes, deflated characters, anti-imperialism, and failing to pay homage to the modern 4 or 3 or 11 other versions that exist(I’ve lost count, because I obviously don’t care) . I’m not going to talk about what “the Four Feathers” isn’t, but rather what it IS.
It is a film with breathtaking cinematography, which displays the haunting and forbidding landscape of the Sudan, from the rolling dunes of sand, to the blasted wastes. The film offers a peer at a inappropriate part of Imperialism, through the eyes of those affected- from the soldiers enforcing the rule to the people under it. I would disagree with those reviewers who leer it as a dig against British tradition alone, but more against the traditions and beliefs that fuelled and supported Imperialism as a whole.
In closing, I’d objective like to mention one of the many departures from the book that I felt strengthened the film, was the portrayal of Harry’s reasons for refusing to fight. In the book, Harry has already done a tour of duty in India, and it is certain his reasons for refusing, is the idea of leaving Ethne. In the film, he makes some comment about “What does the Queen have to do with Africa” but in reality, that is a ploy, I feel. I contemplate that Harry really is a coward, at least in the Victorian sense. He does not want to fight in war, because he is shy. But when it comes down to protecting and proving himself to his friends, Harry is able to overcome his fears. Not unpleasant. Not terrible at all.

‘Wal Mart, The High Cost Of Rude Price’ is filled with first hand testimonials and some hard-fact figures that will befriend in validating your hatred of this greedy giant, and visually exposes those in other countries who are ruthlessly weak as slaves to construct the cheap products you catch when you patronize this monolith.

These “jobs” provided to the labor forces of India, China, Bangladesh, and Mexico are not ‘good wage’ jobs even for third world standards. The people are overworked, underpaid, and forced to work in sub-human conditions. These human beings earn 13 to 17 cents and hour, and work 10 to 18 hour days without breaks, all so you can have that $1.49 blouse.
Exposed in this film are the squalid, rent controlled apartments in China, provided by the company, that keep to shame the most rancid ghetto house in your hometown. And if the employee chooses not to live in these rat-infested housing developments, the rent is calm deducted from their wages. Wal-Mart has managed to lower the work standards place for these hard-pressed, obscene wage, third-world countries that other companies are going to follow, sucking down the standards of working all across the world.

The manager of the Mexico factories went on a tour to fabricate clear that working conditions were humane. He was fired when he reported that the conditions were intolerably inhumane. In his maintain words, he didn’t deem retaliation would be brought against him for doing his job.
If you contemplate it was a well-behaved thing that America abolished slavery, then assume again before you go into a Wal-Mart. Fair because the US is no longer “importing” slaves, doesn’t obtain it fair to continue to exhaust slavery in other countries to create high profits for personal win. Wal-Mart’s practices are no different than bringing slaves over from Africa to take our cotton, it’s calm a cheap procedure for the rich to pick up richer at the expense of human blood and sweat.
Intermittently inserted in the film is a speech made by Lee Scott to the high-end employees and stockholders of Wal-Mart, which sounds very considerable like an Amway pep-talk. Lee Scott’s earnings for 2005 were $27,207,799.00. The average Wal-Mart hourly employee’s was $13,861.00.
Interesting facts: After 9/11, the Walton’s built themselves an underground bunker in case of another terrorist attack, costing millions of dollars that should have went into paying attend the Government for having to subsidize their employee’s un-affordable medical benefits.
The Walton family gave less than 1% of their wealth to charity. Bill Gates, not even a nice man himself, gave 58%.
The “Valuable Need” fund, plot up to succor Wal-Mart employees in emergencies, received five million dollars from Wal-Mart employees (making $13,861.00 annually) and only $6,000.00 from the Walton family, who made, collectively, 102 billion.
Wal-Mart actually had a commercial campaign about “buying American” while all their products approach from sweatshops overseas.
Wal-Mart has refused to address crime statistics that indicate an upswing of violent crime in their mammoth, remote, under-lit and un-protected parking lots, putting their customers in concern and taxing the local law enforcement. The Status of California alone paid out 80 Million dollars in medical benefits to poverty-level Wal-Mart employees because the 102 Billion Dollar Walton family does not want to give their “associates” glorious medical benefits.
There are many ways to detest Wal-Mart and its ilk, and many books out on the subject, but I recommend watching this DVD so you can actually stare the slave workers and conditions overseas that these selfish billionaires exploit without passing down their profit to the “microscopic people” who helped produce their empire. The presentation could have venerable a microscopic more snappiness, and the DVD starts out very dreary, but sustain watching and you will eventually contemplate the monster peeking out from gradual your curtain.
Stop shopping at Wal-Mart. Fair close. You don’t need their cheap goods that topple apart two days after you bring them home, and it feels honorable to know that you construct a incompatibility by not supporting slavery. Savor!
A mighty documentary that contrasts the public persona of Walmart with the human toll of their behind-the-scenes business practices. Deeply personal vignettes from miniature business owners, Walmart managers, workers, attorneys and environmentalists review the tragic consequences of one of the world’s largest, most venal corporations running amok on rural America – subsidized by our have tax dollars. This is a movie was Walmart does NOT want you to recognize – so sigh all your friends!

I have caught some of these episodes on History Channel and this series is the one to see if you’re at all keen in thought and experiencing the old-fashioned civilizations covered, be it Petra, Rome, Greece, the Mayans, etc.

The series, which encompasses 27 journeys to sites and cities, not only presents novel filming, but also, in many cases re-creates the sites using phenonemal computer graphics that let you sort of peep what these places looked like when they were built.
This is so comprehensive, I can’t wait to accumulate it.
I agree with others that this is one of the best historical documentaries available, especially on Classical Mediterranean civilizations (Greece, Rome, and others) . There are six discs in the series, each disc containing five episodes of 20 minutes, except the last disc which has only two. Although 20 minutes may not sound like powerful, so distinguished is packed into each episode that they do not disapoint.

Each episode shows historical ruins related to its subject, beginning with maps to let you know when and where you are, and frequently using animation to reconstruct the ruins as they appeared in their prime. The narration uses the pictures as a starting point to discuss the culture and history represented by the ruins. The series frequently provides a fairly in depth discussion of the culture, ordinary life, religion, etc. of the peoples who lived in these locations, not impartial stories of battles and rulers.
The other outstanding aspect of this series is that it covers a wide variety of cultures, time periods, and geography. It works best where history can be told as the history of individual cities, which is the case in the Mediterranean world (the tremendous majority of the episodes) and also for the Mayans in America.
A sterling example of the recent near of this series is episode two. From the title “Fair Rome”, I was expecting a tour of classical Rome using models and virtual recreations, since generous examples of these are now available. Instead, the episode showed only brief shots of the unreconstructed Roman forum, and centered instead on the ruins of outlying Roman cities to display the favorite culture which existed over the extent of the empire.
