Billy looks like Scott Peterson to me. Does anyone else want to punch the smile off his face. Tfw your rent is due. D ir: Michael Winterbottom. Cast: Steve Coogan, David Mitchell, Isla Fisher, Dinita Gohil, Tim Key, Shirley Henderson, Sophie Cookson, Shanina Sheik, Asa Butterfield, Sarah Solemani, Asim Chaudri. Cert: 15. Time: 104 mins The name of Steve Coogan’s narcissistic billionaire in Greed, widely believed to be broadly modelled on high-street fashion mogul Sir Philip Green, gives you that sinking feeling. It’s Sir Rich “Greedy” McCready. He sounds like a bad character Martin Amis might have devised in his early career, when he was writing books called Success or Money. McCready is very much a product of that greed-is-good epoch. In Winterbottom’s flailing satire, he’s about to celebrate his 60th birthday in ludicrous style, by dragging a host of celebrities out for a toga party on Mykonos, where he’s custom-building an amphitheatre for the occasion. And renting a lion. “The Monet of money, ” they call him – the script doesn’t let up with this stuff – and the multi-millionaire Steve Coogan, who parodies his own aura of smug wealth so deftly in Winterbottom’s TV series The Trip, merely has to push that up a notch. His McCready is all gleaming false teeth and tyrannical disgust, but he’s too feebly sketched to be worth a whole film. A group of refugees have had the bad taste to pitch up on the beach nearby, and Sir Rich wants them removed in time for the fiesta, which may feature Elton John, or Shakira, or just Tom Jones if he wants to save a few bob. Meanwhile, his chippy Irish ma (an aged-up Shirley Henderson), plasticky ex-wife ( Isla Fisher) and glum son (Asa Butterfield) hang around waiting for the film to give them any meaningful function. A useless journalist called Nick ( David Mitchell) also loiters in their midst, gathering tidbits for a forthcoming biography and getting the odd laugh. A s well as a comedy, Greed wants to be an angry exposé on the rank profiteering and sweatshop exploitation that some high-street names have built their brands on. There are detours to Sri Lanka, where Sir Rich is shown building his empire from the bottom up, by remorseless haggling with factory owners, who pay their garment workers something in the region of £4 per day. A building even collapses, in a hard-hitting flashback presumably modelled on the 2013 disaster in Bangladesh. But if this world-news messaging sounds like an unlikely tonal companion to the broad farce of a billionaire’s birthday, it truly is: the tacky extravagance and the harrowing context don’t collide to make a point, but simply belong in different films. W interbottom fails to make the jokes serve his subject, instead tossing out hit-and-miss riffs about reality TV, then a weak montage about McCready’s tax avoidance, then a funny but self-contained attack on celebrity impersonators not meeting his standards. T he film winds up torn in half – it’s both a classroom lecture on global inequities and the snickering students at the back of the class, who think strenuous irony is the right response. Without doubt, the Winterbottom-Coogan partnership had its glory days. But Greed is not good.
Movies | ‘Greed’ Review: Millionaires at Their Best. Or Worst. Steve Coogan offers familiar comedic pleasures in his role as a rag-trade millionaire micromanaging his 60th birthday celebration in this movie that parallels “The Big Short” and “The Laundromat. ” Credit... Amelia Troubridge/Sony Pictures Classics Greed Directed by Michael Winterbottom Comedy, Drama R 1h 44m Although Erich von Stroheim’s mauled 1924 masterpiece “ Greed ” is nearly 100 years old, it is sufficiently monumental that adopting its title can still seem like an attempted flex. In the case of Michael Winterbottom’s new movie, a satire starring a frequent collaborator, Steve Coogan, it’s less an allusion than a direct, blatant and bitter statement of theme. Coogan plays Sir Richard McCreadie, a coarse but not wholly dumb rag-trade millionaire micromanaging his own 60th birthday celebration. In this framework Winterbottom, who wrote the script with Sean Gray providing “additional material, ” constructs a time-traveling, format-shifting biopic with a from-humble-beginnings hook. Some of the eat-the-rich barbs here are about a decade stale. If you think you’ve heard McCreadie’s “I don’t need drugs, I am drugs” boast, you have — from Salvador Dalí. But Coogan brings his usual comic reliability to his characterization, as does Isla Fisher as the rich man’s predictably estranged wife, and they wring laughs from the material. Like “Casino, ” “The Big Short” and “The Laundromat, ” this movie has a strong pedagogic component, to lay bare the most rank excesses of contemporary capitalism. Here, as it happens, “Greed” is at its strongest. The movie effectively demonstrates that the open markets pushed by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were not constructed with the expectation, or even the hope, that a rapacious actor in the McCreadie mode would behave decently within them. “Greed” also features cogent explanations of debt restructuring: the way banks throw dumpsters full of cash to rich “entrepreneurs” while never offering so much as a rope ladder of credit to the poor who work for these characters. The final sequence detailing income inequality and sweatshop exploitation in the fashion industry is a powerful kick in the teeth. Greed Rated R; these rich people are all kinds of vulgar. Running time: 1 hour 44 minutes.

Full movie green berets. In Oliver Stone’s 1987 film “Wall Street, ” corporate raider Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas, reveled in the pronouncement that “greed … is good. ” It became a kind of mantra for those go-go years at the end of the Reagan era and immediately beyond. Now, more than three decades later, in a world that’s been reshaped by 9/11, life-altering financial crises, and a staggering rise in both income disparity and corporate influence, writer-director Michael Winterbottom’s largely effective satire, bluntly titled “Greed, ” tells us that greed is not only bad, but potentially fatal. Let’s just say the phrase “Eat the rich” takes on a whole new meaning here. At first, this story about one of the world’s more notoriously awful one-percenters — a slippery and abusive fashion magnate named Sir Richard McCreadie (frequent Winterbottom collaborator Steve Coogan) — may feel like the last thing we need to sit through at this particularly fractious moment in time. Aren’t we bombarded with enough examples of obscene wealth, egregious inequality and unchecked narcissism every day via mainstream and social media? Maybe. But after an uneasy start, Winterbottom’s kaleidoscopic script (“additional material” by Sean Gray), which revolves around an ultra-lavish 60th birthday party McCreadie throws himself on the Greek island of Mykonos in a desperate bid to repair his muddied public image, coalesces into a thoughtful, pointed, at times deceptively profound look at how the rich get richer and, well, you know what happens to the poor. The film, equal parts mockumentary, mordant biopic and tragicomedy, moves back and forth in time to show how McCreadie became “the youngest self-made billionaire in British history, ” while earning such other labels as “The King of High Street, ” “the unacceptable face of capitalism” and “Greedy McCreadie, ” the last hatched during his boarding school days as a ruthless gambler (well-played by Jamie Blackley as the younger McCreadie). In “Big Short” style, we learn how McCreadie wheedled his way into the retail business, opening one brand of failed clothing store after another, yet netting more and more money in the process due to dubious — though not necessarily illegal — realty, hiring, tax and financial practices. Via the egomaniacal McCreadie — and Coogan’s expertly hateful turn — the film vividly, unsettlingly shows how whoever holds the purse strings holds the power, and how one wields that power makes all the difference. To that end, McCreadie fails the humanity test miserably — he’s vile and cutthroat and seems proud of it. Nonetheless, he keeps himself and his savvy ex-wife, Samantha (a pitch-perfect Isla Fisher), kids (Asa Butterfield, Sophie Cookson, Matt Bentley) and crusty mom (Shirley Henderson) awash in mammoth wealth. A series of flashbacks depicting McCreadie’s cruel behavior toward the hapless manager (Charlie Cooper) of a new fashion outlet called Xcellent (not) speaks volumes. Much of the narrative, however, unfolds through the eyes of McCreadie’s “official biographer” Nick (David Mitchell), a self-effacing literature buff who has interviewed a few of the mogul’s old associates and visited a Sri Lankan sweatshop with ties to McCreadie before landing in Mykonos to observe his haughty subject and the manic swirl of excess around him. The coordination of McCreadie’s spare-no-expense birthday bash with its crazy planning glitches is lampoon-worthy stuff, though not so out of whack compared to the wildly over-the-top lifestyles of the rich and famous we’ve become near-inured to by the heavily documented exploits of the Kardashians and others. Still, McCreadie’s celebrity-centric, “Gladiator”-themed party, with its faux amphitheater (the building of which is its own loopy story thread), toga costumes and actual lion, gives Winterbottom plenty of droll visual gags to work with. But the film’s eventual heft — and perhaps raison d’etre — comes through the character of Amanda (Dinita Gohil), a young Sri Lankan-born woman now living in Britain, who works as an assistant to McCreadie. She will come to represent the real toll billionaires such as her boss cavalierly exact on the lowliest rung of society and its unsung web of consequences. Yet, despite the movie’s sobering, end-credit statistics, we have no reason to believe the greedy won’t get greedier. A host of familiar needle drops such as Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” and “London Calling” by the Clash can be a bit on-the-nose but still entertain. ‘Greed’ Rated: R, for pervasive language and brief drug use Running time: 1 hour, 44 minutes Playing: ArcLight Cinemas, Hollywood; The Landmark, West Los Angeles.
IMHO Apple takes Sony's business model and does it so well, that when Sony tried to copy them in response it falls on their face instead of generating a cult. Greed 2016 full movie. Here's to D&D. You know something is seriously wrong when this guy can't even get 5 mins on mainstream media.
Reforged? More like refucked. I'm a big defender of WoW, but this Reforged nonsense is too much bullshit. I refunded it when they pushed back the release date. And it looks like I did good. This was amazing I felt like I was in a dream or something I'm a dancer myself and I feel truly inspired Thank you so much. I'm just glad they didn't rush classic wow. I wish Activision would start giving blizzard developers more time which probably won't happen but it definitely has me concerned if a TBC server comes out. The accents.

It stars Gibson Gowland as Dr. John McTeague, ZaSu Pitts as Trina Sieppe, his wife, and Jean Hersholt as McTeague's friend and eventual enemy Marcus Schouler. The film tells the story of McTeague, a San Francisco dentist, who marries his best friend Schouler's girlfriend Trina. Greed was one of the few films of its time to be shot entirely on location, with Stroheim shooting approximately 85 hours of footage before editing. Two months alone were spent shooting in Death Valley for the film's final sequence, and many of the cast and crew became ill. Stroheim used sophisticated filming techniques such as deep-focus cinematography and montage editing. He considered Greed to be a Greek tragedy, in which environment and heredity controlled the characters' fates and reduced them to primitive bêtes humaines (human beasts), a naturalistic concept in the vein of Zola. During editing on Greed, the production company merged into Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, putting Irving Thalberg in charge of the film's post-production. Thalberg had fired Stroheim a few years earlier at Universal Pictures. Originally almost eight hours long, Greed was edited against Stroheim's wishes to about two-and-a-half hours. Only twelve people saw the full-length 42-reel version, now lost; some of them called it the greatest film ever made. Stroheim later called Greed his most fully realized work and was hurt both professionally and personally by the studio's re-editing of it. [1] The uncut version has been called the "holy grail" for film archivists, amid repeated false claims of the discovery of the missing footage. In 1999, Turner Entertainment created a four-hour version of Greed that used existing stills of cut scenes to reconstruct the film. Greed was a critical and financial failure upon its initial release, but, by the 1950s, it began to be regarded as one of the greatest films ever made; filmmakers and scholars have noted its influence on subsequent films. Plot summary [ edit] I never truckled, I never took off the hat to fashion and held it out for pennies. By God, I told them the truth. They liked it or they didn't like it. What had that to do with me? I told them the truth; I knew it for the truth then and I know it for the truth now. —Frank Norris, quoted from his essay "The True Reward of the Novelist", in a title card at the beginning of Greed. [2] John McTeague is a miner working in Placer County, California. A traveling dentist calling himself Dr. "Painless" Potter visits the town, and McTeague's mother begs Potter to take her son on as an apprentice. Potter agrees and McTeague eventually becomes a dentist, practicing on Polk Street in San Francisco. Marcus Schouler brings Trina Sieppe, his cousin and intended fiancée, into McTeague's office for dental work. Schouler and McTeague are friends and McTeague gladly agrees to examine her. As they wait for an opening, Trina buys a lottery ticket. McTeague becomes enamored with Trina and begs Schouler for permission to court Trina. After seeing McTeague's conviction, Schouler agrees. Trina eventually agrees to marry McTeague and shortly afterwards her lottery ticket wins her $5, 000. [a] Schouler bitterly claims that the money should have been his, causing a rift between McTeague and Schouler. After McTeague and Trina wed, they continue to live in their small apartment with Trina refusing to spend her $5, 000. Trina and McTeague have a relationship that moves from romance to tragedy. Schouler leaves the city to become a cattle rancher. Before he goes, he secretly, in order to ruin his former friend, reports McTeague for practicing dentistry without a license. McTeague is ordered to shut down his practice or face jail. Even though she has saved over $200 in addition to the original $5, 000 from the lottery ticket, Trina is unwilling to spend her money. Money becomes increasingly scarce, with the couple forced to sell their possessions. McTeague finally snaps and bites Trina's fingers in a fit of rage. Later, he goes fishing to earn money, taking Trina's savings (now totaling $450). Trina's bitten fingers become infected and have to be amputated. To earn money she becomes a janitor at a children's school. She withdraws the $5, 000 from the bank to keep it close to her, eventually spreading it on her bed so she can sleep on it. McTeague then returns, having spent the money he took, and asks Trina for more. The following day McTeague confronts Trina at the school. After a heated argument McTeague beats Trina to death and steals her $5, 000. Now an outlaw, McTeague returns to Placer County and teams up with a prospector named Cribbens. Headed towards Death Valley, they find a large quantity of quartz and plan to become millionaires. Before they can begin mining, McTeague senses danger and flees into Death Valley with a single horse, the remaining money and one water jug. Several marshals pursue him, joined by Schouler. Schouler wants to catch McTeague personally and rides into Death Valley alone. The oppressive heat slows McTeague's progress. Schouler's progress is also beginning to wane when he spies McTeague and moves in to arrest him. After a confrontation, McTeague's horse bolts and Schouler shoots it, puncturing the water container. The water spills onto the desert floor. The pair fight one last time, with McTeague proving the victor; however, Schouler has handcuffed himself to McTeague. The film ends with McTeague left in the desert with no horse and no water, handcuffed to a corpse and unable to reach the remaining money. Sub-plots [ edit] Von Stroheim's original edit contained two main sub-plots that were later cut. The point of these sub-plots was to contrast two possible outcomes of Trina and McTeague's life together. The first depicted the lives of the junkman Zerkow and Maria Miranda Macapa, the young Mexican woman who collects junk for Zerkow and sold Trina the lottery ticket. Maria often talks about her imaginary solid gold dining set with Zerkow, who becomes obsessed by it. Eventually, believing she has riches hidden away, Zerkow marries her. He often asks about it, but she gives a different answer each time he mentions it. Zerkow does not believe her and becomes obsessed with prying the truth from her. He murders her and after having lost his mind, leaps into San Francisco Bay. The second sub-plot depicts the lives of Charles W. Grannis and Miss Anastasia Baker. Grannis and Baker are two elderly boarders who share adjoining rooms in the apartment complex where Trina and McTeague live. Throughout their time at the apartment complex, they have not met. They both sit close to their adjoining wall and listen to the other for company, so they know almost everything about each other. They finally meet and cannot hide their long-time feelings for each other. When they reveal their love, Grannis admits he has $5, 000, making him just as rich as Trina. But this makes little difference to them. Eventually, they marry and a door connects their rooms.

I was not going to compromise. I felt that after the last war, the motion picture going public had tired of the cinematographic 'chocolate éclairs' which had been stuffed down their throats and which had in a large degree figuratively ruined their stomachs with this overdose of Saccharose in pictures. Now, I felt, they were ready for a large bowl of plebeian but honest corned beef and cabbage'. —Erich von Stroheim. [4] Background and writing [ edit] Greed is based on the American author Frank Norris 's 1899 novel McTeague: A Story of San Francisco. Stroheim's interest in McTeague can be traced back to January 1920, when he told a journalist that he wanted to film the novel. [5] He had lived in San Francisco in the early 1910s, living there in poverty like that of the story's characters. [6] He eventually moved to Los Angeles, and worked his way up in the film industry from extra to acting in villainous or aristocratic roles in films [7] By 1919, Stroheim had finally become a successful director in his own right at Universal Film Manufacturing Company, although one with a reputation of going over budget and over schedule. [8] Upon the appointment of Irving Thalberg as general manager at Universal, Stroheim's defiance of commercial and industrial norms was no longer tolerated. After Thalberg's prior shutdown of Foolish Wives in 1921 (which had been shooting nonstop for eleven months), and after six weeks of filming on Merry-Go-Round, Stroheim was finally fired from the studio on October 6, 1922. This was a step unprecedented in Hollywood, heralding a new era in which the producer and the studio would hold artistic control over actors and directors. [9] However, by this time Stroheim had received several offers of contracts with other studios, even before being fired from Universal. He had met with executives of the Goldwyn Company on September 14, 1922, less than a month before, and he formally signed with them in late November. [10] Erich von Stroheim in 1920, the year he first publicly expressed interest in adapting the novel McTeague Stroheim chose his new studio because of the level of artistic freedom he was offered, which he had been denied at Universal under Thalberg. Since March of that year, Goldwyn had been run by Abe Lehr, who publicly promised that "each director will have his own staff and will be given every facility in putting into production his own individuality and personality. " [5] Stroheim signed a one-year, three-feature deal with Goldwyn on November 20, 1922. The deal stipulated that each feature would be between 4, 500 and 8, 500 feet (1, 400 and 2, 600 m) long, [11] cost no more than $175, 000 and be completed in fourteen weeks. It also promised von Stroheim $30, 000 for each completed film. [12] Lehr initially hired Stroheim in order to film a big-budget version of the operetta The Merry Widow, which the producer saw as a guaranteed hit; Stroheim, however, convinced Lehr to let him make Greed first, promising low costs. [13] A press release of February 1923 said that although Stroheim had "run rather freely to large sets in the past, [he] seems to have reformed—or surrendered—for it is announced that he will not build any sets at all. " [13] Stroheim wrote a highly detailed 300-page script that contained camera movements, composition and tint cues. [14] Among the changes that he made to Norris's novel was giving McTeague the first name of John and omitting Norris's anti-Semitism. [15] McTeague had been filmed once before as Life's Whirlpool, a five-reel short by William A. Brady 's World Pictures, starring Broadway star Holbrook Blinn as McTeague, which had been released in 1916. [6] Film critics disliked this version and Stroheim later criticized Blinn's performance. [16] According to film historian Kevin Brownlow, Life's Whirlpool was also shot on location in Death Valley. [17] Stroheim was known for his meticulous perfectionism and attention to detail, [18] as well as his insolence towards studio executives. [19] Working on Greed, Stroheim set out to make a realistic film about everyday people and rejected the Hollywood tropes of glamor, happy endings and upper-class characters. [20] Before shooting began, Stroheim told a reporter: It is possible to tell a great story in motion pictures in such a way that the spectator forgets he is looking at beauteous Gertie Gefelta, the producer's pet and discovers himself intensely interested, just as if he were looking out of a window at life itself. He will come to believe that what he is gazing at is real—a cameraman was present in the household and nobody knew it. They went on in their daily life with their joys, fun and tragedies and the camera stole it all, holding it up afterward for all to see. [21] In early January 1923 Stroheim arrived in San Francisco, where he scouted locations and finished writing the shooting script. While researching for Greed, he attended society functions in town and met many friends of Frank Norris, including his brother Charles and his sister-in-law Kathleen. [22] To capture the authentic spirit of the story, Stroheim insisted on filming on location in San Francisco, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Big Dipper Mine in Iowa Hill, [23] and Death Valley. [24] He rented some of the actual buildings that had inspired scenes in the novel. [25] Other locations included Cliff House and San Francisco Bay. [14] Norris had similarly scouted settings for his novel and chose the upstairs of a building on the corner of Polk and California street as McTeague's dentist office, as well as many of the saloons and lunch counters in the area. [26] Stroheim discovered that many of the locations that Norris had described, such as Polk Street, had been destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but he was able to find suitable period locations on Hayes and Laguna streets. [27] For authenticity, Stroheim had no sets built in San Francisco and only redecorated existing locations, such as saloons, butcher shops, and wooden shacks, thus saving on construction costs. [14] Despite the strict conditions of Stroheim's initial contract, Goldwyn approved the lengthy shooting script before filming began. Production Manager J. J. Cohn later explained that "they thought they could control him when the time comes. " [28] Casting [ edit] Scene of the film Souls for Sale, showing Stroheim directing Jean Hersholt in a screen test for Greed. With the exception of Jean Hersholt, all of the main actors in Greed were regulars of Stroheim's earlier films, a group dubbed the "Stroheim Stock Company". [29] Gibson Gowland had previously appeared in Blind Husbands and returned to the U. from Scotland for the role of John McTeague. Cesare Gravina, who played the junkman Zerkow, and Dale Fuller, the lottery-ticket seller Maria, had both appeared in Foolish Wives and would later appear in The Merry Widow. Other actors in Stroheim's Stock Company included Sidney Bracey, Mae Busch, George Fawcett, Maude George, Hughie Mack and George Nichols. [29] Trina was the most difficult role to cast, and ZaSu Pitts was hired at the last minute, [14] after Stroheim had rejected both Claire Windsor and Colleen Moore. [30] Pitts had previously acted only in comedic roles; Greed was her first dramatic part. The actress later appeared in both The Wedding March and Hello, Sister! Stroheim said that Pitts was "the greatest psychopathological actress in the American cinema" and that "she should not be in comedy, for she is the greatest of all tragediennes. " [31] Stroheim had met casually with Jean Hersholt to discuss the role of Marcus Schouler, but he was initially reluctant to cast him. However, after Hersholt adjusted his appearance and wardrobe to more closely resemble Schouler, Stroheim changed his mind on the spot. [32] With the exception of Gowland, Stroheim shot extensive screen tests of all the other actors at Goldwyn with cinematographer Paul Ivano. [33] A scene from the Goldwyn film Souls for Sale is thought to be behind-the-scenes footage of Stroheim directing Greed, but it actually depicts him directing Hersholt during one of these screen tests. [34] Filming [ edit] Filming began in San Francisco on March 13, 1923, [27] and lasted until late June. [35] Despite the initial contract between von Stroheim and Goldwyn, Lehr agreed to double the film's budget to $347, 000 three days after shooting began. [36] Von Stroheim had already worked twenty-hour days for over two months of pre-production and collapsed on set after a few days of filming. He remained in good health for the remainder of the shoot. [27] This was not the only mishap on set; during scenes shot at San Francisco Bay, Cesare Gravina got double pneumonia, making von Stroheim bitterly ashamed that Gravina's entire performance was later cut from the film, despite the actor's dedication to the role. [37] Hersholt was knocked out by Gowland during the picnic scene (later cut) in which McTeague and Schouler fight, and Pitts was almost run over by a trolley. [38] In late May, Lehr visited von Stroheim on the set and praised the footage that he had seen, saying that "it has atmosphere, color and realism that could not possibly have been reproduced in the studio. " [35] One scene that von Stroheim re-shot at the studio's insistence depicted a younger McTeague in his apprenticeship with Potter. In the scene McTeague is too embarrassed to examine the teeth of a young woman and Potter has to take over. A thinly disguised ZaSu Pitts portrayed the woman so that the audience would see a resemblance to Trina, but the studio insisted that the scene was confusing and von Stroheim agreed to re-shoot it. [35] Von Stroheim also conceded his original vision when shooting the bar confrontation between McTeague and Schouler. The director wanted to have a knife thrower actually throw a real knife at Gibson Gowland's head. Von Stroheim was overruled by Gowland himself, who refused to allow such a dangerous stunt. A special-effect shot was used instead. [39] The Death Valley scenes, including this final sequence, were filmed over two months during midsummer, in harsh conditions. After filming in San Francisco wrapped in late June, the production traveled to Death Valley. Most Hollywood films that required desert scenes settled for the local Oxnard dunes north of Los Angeles, but von Stroheim insisted on authenticity. [21] Death Valley had no roads, hotels, gas stations or running water and was occupied by tarantulas, scorpions and venomous snakes. The nearest populated area to the shoot was 100 miles (160 km) away and insurance coverage was denied. [40] Filming in Death Valley lasted for two months during midsummer, allowing actors Gowland and Hersholt time to grow the beards necessary for the sequence. [41] Some members of the production reported temperatures between 91 and 161 °F (33 and 72 °C), but the highest temperature officially recorded in Death Valley during the period was 123 °F (51 °C). [42] Of the 43 members of the cast and crew who worked on the Death Valley sequence, 14 became ill and were sent back to Los Angeles. [43] While shooting, crew members would collapse of heat exhaustion every day. Hersholt spent a week in the hospital after shooting was completed, suffering from internal bleeding. [40] Hersholt claimed to have lost 27 pounds (12 kg), [43] and was covered in blisters by the end of filming. Despite the hardship Hersholt said that he considered it the best role of his career. [44] In order to motivate Hersholt and Gibson during the scene where they fight, von Stroheim yelled at them, "Fight, fight! Try to hate each other as you both hate me! " [44] Throughout filming, von Stroheim brought musicians on set to help create mood for the actors. He continued to use this for the Death Valley scenes with a harmonium and violin player. [45] A theme, inspired by the music of Ruggero Leoncavallo, was composed and played throughout production. Other music used included the popular songs " Nearer, My God, to Thee ", " Hearts and Flowers ", " Oh Promise Me ", and "Call Me Thine Own". [46] Filming moved to Placer County, California on September 13 and continued for less than a month. The Big Dipper Mine had been closed for ten years, so von Stroheim convinced the Goldwyn Company to lease and renovate it for filming. While first visiting Placer County during pre-production, von Stroheim had met Harold Henderson, a local resident and fan of Norris whose brother had worked in the mine in the 1890s. Von Stroheim hired Henderson to oversee the renovation of the mine and other locations in Iowa Hill. Von Stroheim also wanted to restore the local cemetery for a newly invented scene depicting McTeague's mother's funeral, but the Goldwyn Company turned down this proposal. Inside the mine, von Stroheim usually shot at night between 9 pm and 6 am. [47] Cinematographer William H. Daniels later said that von Stroheim insisted on descending 3, 000 feet (900 m) underground for realism, even though the setting would have looked exactly the same at 100 feet (30 m). [48] Filming was completed on October 6, 1923, [14] after 198 days. [49] Despite his original contract stipulating that all films be under 8, 500 feet (2, 600 m), von Stroheim shot a total of 446, 103 feet (135, 972 m) of footage for the film, running approximately 85 hours. [50] Style [ edit] The wedding scene made innovative use of deep-focus cinematography, despite challenges with the lighting. Stroheim's biographer Arthur Lennig compared the director's visual style to that of pioneering filmmaker D. W. Griffith, but felt that "unlike Griffith, who viewed scenes as though through a fourth wall, Stroheim shot from many sides and from different angles; he also used deep-focus, meaningful foregrounds and effective camera movement. " [51] Greed ' s lighting included high contrast, chiaroscuro techniques with pools or shafts of lights illuminating an otherwise dark space. Examples of this technique include the scene where McTeague begs Trina for money in a pool of moonlight and the merry-go-round scene in which characters alternate between appearing only as dark silhouettes and being fully lit. [52] Daniels was especially proud of the wedding scene, which has a funeral procession visible through the window and was difficult to light properly. [53] Greed has often been praised for its use of deep-focus cinematography, seventeen years before its more-famous application in Citizen Kane. [54] Daniels sometimes used incandescent lights instead of studio arc lights, due to the constraints of his locations. [55] He later said that Stroheim "was one of the first to insist on no make-up for men, on real paint on the walls which were shiny, real glass in the windows, pure white on sets and in costumes... everything up to then had been painted a dull brown" to mask the scratches on worn-down film prints. [56] Although not officially credited, Ernest B. Schoedsack worked on the picture as a camera operator. [57] Stroheim favored "Soviet-style" montage editing. Greed often uses dramatic close-ups and cuts instead of long takes. One exception to this is the scene in which Schouler becomes angry with McTeague and breaks his pipe, which was shot in one long, unbroken take. Stroheim also used symbolic cross-cutting for dramatic effect, such as his use of animals in the film and a shot of a train when McTeague and Trina first kiss. [58] In 1932 film theorist Andrew Buchanan called Stroheim a montage director, stating that "each observation would be captured in a 'close-up' and at leisure, he would assemble his 'shots' in just the order which would most forcibly illustrate the fact. " [59] In the 1950s film critic André Bazin praised Stroheim's use of mise en scène and noted his "one simple rule for directing. Take a close look at the world, keep on doing so and in the end it will lay bare for you all its cruelty and ugliness. " [59] Despite Stroheim's reputation as a perfectionist, Greed contains anachronisms. In the scenes on Polk Street, the main characters are clothed in 1890s fashions, but the extras wear 1920s clothing. Stroheim did his best to avoid such historical mistakes; he shot only those buildings that were from the era Greed was set in, and he kept motor vehicles out of sight while filming. Daniels stated that, despite his desire for authenticity, Stroheim sometimes had walls knocked out of real locations to achieve a desired camera position. [60] Themes [ edit] Frank Norris's novel belongs to the literary school of naturalism founded by French author Émile Zola. [61] McTeague depicts the fate of its lower-class characters in terms of heredity and their environment, [62] with the belief that "man's nature, despite free will, is determined by genetic and environmental factors" [61] and that heredity controls fate, despite efforts at upward mobility. [63] This literary style was influenced by Charles Darwin and portrayed characters whose higher states of being, the rational and compassionate, are in conflict with their lower states, the bête humaine (human beast). [63] McTeague was first published in 1899 and was inspired by an October 1893 murder case in which Patrick Collins, a poor husband with a history of beating his wife Sarah, finally stole her money and stabbed her to death at her San Francisco workplace. Sarah Collins worked at the Lest Norris kindergarten, which was financed by Norris's family. [6] [64] Von Stroheim did not see Greed as political and told a journalist that he considered it to be like a Greek tragedy. Despite the characters' struggles with poverty and class, von Stroheim followed the naturalist technique of portraying characters whose lives are driven by fate and their inner nature. Von Stroheim employed variations of this theme in his other films, which often involved a commoner falling in love with an aristocrat or royal. [38] In the wedding banquet scene, Trina's mother grotesquely devours her food. One of the cinematic techniques by which von Stroheim portrayed naturalism was animal symbolism. [65] In Greed McTeague is associated with a canary, only briefly mentioned in the novel. [66] Von Stroheim altered Norris's original ending and has McTeague release the canary in Death Valley. [67] McTeague buys Trina a female canary as a wedding gift and early in their marriage von Stroheim cuts from a shot of them kissing to birds fluttering wildly in their cage. [68] Another scene with animal imagery includes cross-cutting between a cat attempting to pounce on the canaries in the scene where Schouler bids goodbye to McTeague and Trina without telling them that he has informed on McTeague. [66] Dogs, cats and monkeys are associated with various supporting characters. [65] Von Stroheim also used the naturalist technique of giving characters specific objects, gestures or phrases that repeat throughout the film as a visual leitmotif. For example, Trina tugs on her lips and McTeague fiddles with his birdcage. [69] Throughout his career von Stroheim used grotesque imagery and characters. This is most apparent in the wedding-banquet scene, which includes a midget, a hunchback, a woman with buck teeth and a boy on crutches. [70] The wedding guests violently and crudely devour their meal like animals. This scene was unlike any other in films of that period, which treated meals with dignity and a sense of communion. [71] Other instances of grotesque imagery include Trina's fingers becoming infected and amputated. [72] Von Stroheim contrasted love scenes between McTeague and Trina with their ugly, lower-class environment, such as the sewer with the dead rat and a garbage truck driving by as they kiss. [73] As in his other films, von Stroheim used Christian imagery and symbols, such as crosses and churches. [74] Trina first shows signs of greed on Easter Sunday and is murdered by McTeague on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve was often depicted in von Stroheim's films and was close to the date of his father's death. [75] Lennig asserted that the character of McTeague's father (who was only briefly mentioned in the novel) is based on von Stroheim's own father, while McTeague's mother is a tribute to von Stroheim's mother, to whom Greed is dedicated. [76] Von Stroheim stated that he considered all of his good qualities to have come from his mother and all of his bad qualities to have come from his father. [77] Editing [ edit] Initial editing [ edit] Editing Greed took almost a year and von Stroheim's contract did not include payment for his post-production work. [78] He and his chief film cutter Frank Hull worked on the film for several months before completing a rough cut. [79] Von Stroheim was indecisive during editing. He felt restricted by his contract's limitation on the length of the film. [49] Von Stroheim colored certain scenes with gold tinting by using the Handschiegl Color Process, in which individual frames are hand colored with stencils. [80] Von Stroheim credited himself in the beginning titles with "Personally directed by Erich von Stroheim. " [81] Other than studio personnel, only twelve people saw the original 42-reel [b] version of Greed at a special screening in January 1924; [24] they included Harry Carr, Rex Ingram, Aileen Pringle, Carmel Myers, Idwal Jones, Joseph Jackson, Jack Jungmeyer, Fritz Tidden, Welford Beaton, Valentine Mandelstam, and Jean Bertin. [82] After the screening Jones, Carr and Ingram all agreed that they had just seen the greatest film ever made and that it was unlikely that a better film would ever be made. [83] Carr wrote a review of the advance screening where he raved that he "saw a wonderful picture the other day—that no one else will ever see... I can't imagine what they are going to do with it. It is like Les Miserables. Episodes come along that you think have no bearing on the story, then 12 or 14 reels later it hits you with a crash. For stark, terrible realism and marvelous artistry, it is the greatest picture I have ever seen. But I don't know what it will be like when it shrinks to 8 reels. " [84] Jonathan Rosenbaum suggested that Carr was most likely referring to a cut sequence early in the film that introduced all of the characters who lived in McTeague's building. The forty-minute scene depicted what the tenants did on a Saturday afternoon, and established cinematic atmosphere without furthering the plot. Rosenbaum compared the cut sequence to novels of the 19th century and to the first few hours of Jacques Rivette 's Out 1. [85] Jones publicly praised the advance screening and compared Greed to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Dr. Mabuse the Gambler. [84] However, Welford Beaton of The Film Spectator disliked the 42-reel version and criticized its excessive use of close-ups. [84] Some scenes, like this one, were gold tinted by Von Stroheim himself, hand coloring individual frames with stencils. Many sources claim that the 42-reel version was only ever intended to be a rough cut, [84] and that Von Stroheim chose to cut it down to 24 reels by March 18, 1924, [21] [59] with the intention of screening it with intermissions over two nights. [40] The director had difficulty cutting the film down, telling his friend Don Ryan, "I could take out sequences and thus get the job over in a day. That would be child's play. But I can't do it. It would leave gaps that could only be bridged through titles. When you do such a thing you have illustrated subtitles instead of a motion picture. " [84] Von Stroheim later claimed that at this time the Goldwyn Company wanted him to shoot a scene of McTeague waking up in his dentist chair, showing the entire film to have been a bad dream. [84] While von Stroheim was editing the 24-reel cut June Mathis, who was the head of the Goldwyn Story Department, had made her own 13-reel version of Greed by January 21, 1924. She ordered even more cuts to be made on January 29, but then left for Rome in early February to oversee the production of Ben-Hur and was uninvolved in the film's editing for several months. [86] After having completed the 24-reel [c] cut of Greed, von Stroheim told Goldwyn executives that he could not cut another frame. [40] Goldwyn producers thought that this version was still too long and told him to cut it to a more manageable length. Von Stroheim then sent the film to his friend, director Rex Ingram, who turned it over to his editor, Grant Whytock. [40] Whytock had worked with von Stroheim on The Devil's Pass Key and was familiar with the director's style and tastes. Whytock initially proposed that it be split in two, with one 8-reel film ending with the wedding and a second 7-reel film ending at Death Valley. Whytock eventually cut the film down to 18 reels. [d] His only major cut was the entire subplot of Zerkow and Maria, which he thought was "very distasteful". [87] Otherwise he simply cut down scenes and cut out 1, 200 feet (400 m) of quick "flash" shots that only lasted a few frames. However, Whytock's version of Greed retained the prologue and other subplots, as well as much of the humor that was later cut out of it. [87] Whytock and Ingram screened their version of Greed to studio executives, who responded favorably to it but worried that the tragic ending would be hard to sell to the public. [86] Ingram then sent the 18-reel version to von Stroheim and told him, "If you cut one more frame I shall never speak to you again. " [88] On April 10, 1924, the Goldwyn Company officially agreed to merge with Metro Pictures, putting von Stroheim's nemesis Thalberg directly in charge of Greed. [89] Von Stroheim and Louis B. Mayer had a lengthy confrontation over the film's editing, which according to both men ended with von Stroheim claiming that all women were whores and Mayer punching him. [e] [91] Mayer disliked the film because of its lack of glamor, optimism or morality and considered it to be a guaranteed flop. [92] Studio editing [ edit] MGM executives screened Greed at full length once to meet contractual obligations. Idwal Jones, a San Francisco critic, attended the all-day screening and wrote that while some of the scenes were compelling, Stroheim's desire that "every comma of the book [be] put in" was ultimately negative. [93] MGM then took control and re-edited it. The studio ordered June Mathis to cut it down further; [94] she assigned the job to an editor named Joseph W. Farnham. Farnham was a well-known "titles editor", who patched scenes together using title cards to keep continuity. His contributions to Greed include the notorious title cards " Such was McTeague " and " Let's go over and sit on the sewer ", which were snickered at for years. [95] Eventually Farnham reduced Greed to 10 reels, [f] [96] totaling 10, 607 feet (3, 233 m). [3] Von Stroheim said that the film "was cut by a hack with nothing on his mind but his hat. " [40] He later bitterly lamented that Greed was made before the financial success of Eugene O'Neill 's four-hour play Strange Interlude in 1928. [88] Von Stroheim angrily disowned the final version, blaming Mathis for destroying his masterpiece. [97] One week before Greed ' s release the New York State Motion Picture Committee (which censored films) demanded several more cuts on moral grounds. These cuts included the administration of ether in the dental scenes and certain instances of foul language. Although these cuts were made to prints that were screened in New York State, the footage was kept in many other prints. [95] Difference between von Stroheim's cut and MGM's cut [ edit] The main cuts to Greed were the elimination of its two sub-plots and other entire sequences, while individual scenes were often not touched. [98] [99] Commenting about the cuts made in the film to the Los Angeles Times, Thalberg stated: This whole story is about greed—a progressive greed. It is the story of the way greed grew in Trina's heart until it obsessed her. I found that the junk dealer's greed was so much greater than hers that it almost destroyed the theme. His intense greed drowned out Trina's greed just as a steam whistle drowns out a small street noise. Instead of hurting the picture, throwing out this junk dealer's story made the picture stronger. [100] Thalberg also stated that he "took no chances in cutting it. We took it around to different theaters in the suburbs, ran it at its enormous length, and then we took note of the places at which interest seemed to droop. " [100] Individual scenes or sequences that were cut include McTeague and Trina's early, happy years of marriage, the sequence showing McTeague and Trina eventually moving into their shack, [99] the family life of the Sieppe family before Trina's marriage, the prologue depicting McTeague's mother and father at the Big Dipper mine and McTeague's apprenticeship. Other cuts included the more suggestive and sexual close-up shots depicting McTeague and Trina's physical attraction to each other, the scenes after McTeague has murdered Trina and roams around San Francisco and Placer County, additional footage of Death Valley, additional footage of Trina with her money, and a more gradual version of Trina's descent into greed and miserly obsession. [101] Reception [ edit] Release and critical reviews [ edit] Greed premiered on December 4, 1924 at the Cosmopolitan Theatre in Columbus Circle, New York City, which was owned by William Randolph Hearst. [82] Frank Norris had once worked for Hearst as a foreign correspondent during the Spanish–American War and Hearst praised Greed, calling it the greatest film he had ever seen. [102] Hearst's newspapers promoted the film, [95] but MGM did very little advertising. [24] At the time of the release von Stroheim was in Los Angeles, having begun production on The Merry Widow on December 1. [21] In May 1926 Greed was released in Berlin, where its premiere famously caused a riot at the theater that may have been instigated by members of the then-fledgling Nazi party. [80] Greed received mostly negative reviews. The trade paper Harrison's Report said that "[i]f a contest were to be held to determine which has been the filthiest, vilest, most putrid picture in the history of the motion picture business, I am sure that Greed would win. " [103] Variety Weekly called it "an out-and-out box office flop" only six days after its premiere and claimed that the film had taken two years to shoot, cost $700, 000 and was originally 130 reels long. [104] The review went on to say that "nothing more morbid and senseless, from a commercial picture standpoint, has been seen on the screen for a long, long time" and that despite its "excellent acting, fine direction and the undoubted power of its story... it does not entertain. " [105] In its December 1924 – January 1925 issue, Exceptional Photoplays called it "one of the most uncompromising films ever shown on the screen. There have already been many criticisms of its brutality, its stark realism, its sordidness. But the point is that it was never intended to be a pleasant picture. " [106] In the February 1925 issue of Theatre Magazine, Aileen St. John-Brenon wrote that "the persons in the photoplay are not characters, but types—they are well selected, weighed and completely drilled. But they did not act; they do not come to life. They perform their mission like so many uncouth images of miserliness and repugnant animalism. " [105] Mordaunt Hall of the New York Times gave the film a mostly positive review in regards to the acting and directing while criticizing how it was edited, writing that MGM "clipped this production as much as they dared... and are to be congratulated on their efforts and the only pity is that they did not use the scissors more generously in the beginning. " [107] In a Life Magazine article, Robert E. Sherwood also defended MGM's cutting of the film and called von Stroheim "a genius... badly in need of a stopwatch. " [80] Iris Barry of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) disliked the tinting, saying "a not very pleasing yellow tinge is smudged in. " [80] A March 1925 review in Pictureplay magazine stated, "perhaps an American director would not have seen greed as a vice. " [108] A more favorable review came from Richard Watts, Jr. of the New York Herald Tribune, who called Greed "the most important picture yet produced in America... It is the one picture of the season that can hold its own as a work of dramatic art worthy of comparison with such stage plays as What Price Glory? and Desire Under the Elms. " [80] The April 20, 1925 edition of The Montreal Gazette claimed it "impresses as a powerful film" and described the "capacity audience" screening as "one of the few pictures which are as worthy of serious consideration... which offer a real and convincing study of life and character and that secure their ends by artistic and intellectual means rather than by writing down to the level of the groundlings. " The review went on to describe the direction as "masterly", citing "its remarkable delineation of character development and the subtle touches which convey ideas through vision rather than the written word, an all too-rare employment of the possibilities of the cinema play as a distinct branch of art capable of truthful and convincing revelation and interpretation of life's realities. " [109] A review in Exceptional Photoplays stated that "Mr. von Stroheim has always been the realist as Rex Ingram is the romanticist and Griffith the sentimentalist of the screen, and in Greed he has given us an example of realism at its starkest. Like the novel from which the plot was taken, Greed is a terrible and wonderful thing. " [110] Box office [ edit] Greed was a financial disappointment. [24] On its initial run, it earned $224, 500 in the United States, $3, 063 in Canada and $47, 264 in other markets. In total it earned $274, 827. [111] Von Stroheim's biographer Arthur Lennig stated that according to MGM's records the final cost of Greed was $546, 883. [20] Another biographer, Richard Koszarski, stated that its final cost was $665, 603: $585, 250 for the production, $30, 000 for von Stroheim's personal fee, $54, 971 for processing and editing, $53, 654 for advertising and $1, 726 for Motion Picture dues. [111] Arthur Lennig asserted that MGM's official budget for Greed was suspiciously high for a film with no stars, no built sets, a small crew and inexpensive film stock. Lennig suspects that MGM averaged the film's cost with the more expensive The Merry Widow in order to prevent von Stroheim from getting a percentage of the more profitable film. [20] The Merry Widow ended up being a hit and earned more profits than Greed had lost; [112] it cost $614, 961 but earned $996, 226 on its initial run. [111] Legacy [ edit] In his final years, von Stroheim said that "of all my films, only Greed was a fully realized work; only Greed had a total validity. " [113] In 1926 a British foundation of arts and sciences requested a copy of the original version of Greed to keep in their archive, but their request was denied by MGM. [114] Henri Langlois screened the studio version of Greed for von Stroheim in 1950. Von Stroheim said, "It was for me an exhumation. It was like opening a coffin in which there was just dust, giving off a terrible stench, a couple of vertebra and a piece of shoulder bone. " [1] He went on to say that "It was as if a man's beloved was run over by a truck, maimed beyond recognition. He goes to see her in the morgue. Of course, he still loves her but it's only the memory of her that he can love—because he doesn't recognize her anymore. " [113] In the early 1950s Greed ' s reputation began to grow and it appeared on several lists of the greatest films ever made. In 1952 at the Festival Mondial du Film et des Beaux Arts de Belgique, Greed was named the fifth greatest film ever made, with such directors as Luchino Visconti, Orson Welles, Luis Buñuel and Billy Wilder voting for it. Later in 1952 Sight and Sound magazine published its first list of the "ten greatest films ever made". Greed was tied for 7th place on that list, with such critics as Andre Bazin, Lotte Eisner, Curtis Harrington, Penelope Houston and Gavin Lambert voting for it. [115] In 1962 it was tied for 4th on the same list. Since 1972 it has failed to reach a spot on the top ten. [114] The Cinémathèque royale de Belgique released a list of "the most important and misappreciated American films of all time" in 1978. Greed was third on its list after Citizen Kane and Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. [114] In a University of Southern California list of the "50 Most Significant American Films" made by the school's Performing Arts Council, Greed was listed as number 21. [116] In 1991 Greed was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". [117] Among those who have praised Greed over the years are Sergei Eisenstein; [118] Joseph von Sternberg, who said, "We were all influenced by Greed "; [78] Jean Renoir, who called it "the film of films"; [119] and Ernst Lubitsch, who called von Stroheim "the only true 'novelist'" in films. [120] More recently Guillermo del Toro called it "a perfect reflection of the anxiety permeating the passage into the 20th century and the absolute dehumanization that was to come", [121] and Norbert Pfaffenbichler said that "the last shot of the movie is unforgettable. " [122] American writer, filmmaker, philosopher and political activist, Susan Sontag named Greed as one of her favorite films. [123] Jonathan Rosenbaum has stated that Greed was a major influence on the style and content of many films. Stroheim's shots filming the sun predated Akira Kurosawa 's better-known uses of the technique in Rashomon (1950). Rosenbaum compared specific shot set-ups in Greed to shots in King Vidor 's The Crowd, Jean Renoir's Le Crime de Monsieur Lange, Orson Welles's The Magnificent Ambersons, Howard Hawks ' To Have and Have Not and Michelangelo Antonioni 's L'Avventura. In addition, he likened certain plot elements or characters in Greed to John Huston 's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), Alfred Hitchcock 's Rear Window (1954), Claude Chabrol 's Les Bonnes Femmes (1960) and Elaine May 's Mikey and Nicky (1975). Rosenbaum singled out Stroheim's influence on May, an American director, with Mikey and Nicky centering on the disintegration of a friendship over money and sex, and including grotesque elements and characters caught between innocence and corruption. Rosenbaum also asserts that Orson Welles' use of satirical caricatures in all of his films is in "the spirit of von Stroheim". [124] The two films most commonly compared to Greed are Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. Rosenbaum believes that besides Huston's film ending with gold being lost in the desert and similarities between Trina's descent into madness with Fred C. Dobbs own obsessions, the two films have little else in common. The Magnificent Ambersons and Greed both have characters who struggle with class differences that lead to their downfall. Ambersons was famously edited down drastically by its studio and the cut footage is now lost. Rosenbaum goes on to state that Greed influenced the methods in which novels are adapted into films and filmmakers like Welles, Huston and Bill Forsyth followed von Stroheim's example by re-arranging the plot and adding new scenes to their films while still remaining faithful to the intentions of the original novels. [125] The 1994 Jonathan Lynn film Greedy pays tribute to the film by giving the main characters the last name McTeague. [126] Attempts to reconstruct the uncut version of Greed without use of the lost footage first began in 1958. At the Brussels International Exposition, the Cinémathèque royale de Belgique named Greed as one of the twelve greatest films ever made and simultaneously published von Stroheim's original, uncut script for Greed, which came directly from von Stroheim's personal copy preserved by his widow Denise Vernac. [127] This publication led to three separate books that all used von Stroheim's script in order to reconstruct the original version of the film and compare it to the released version: a French book edited by Jacques-G. Perret in 1968 and two versions edited by Joel Finler and Herman G. Weinberg, both in 1972. Weinberg's book utilized 400 individual stills and production photos to reconstruct the uncut version of Greed, the first time that images from the uncut version were publicly available. [128] In 1999, Turner Entertainment (the film's current rights holder) decided to recreate, as closely as possible, the original version by combining the existing footage with over 650 still photographs of the lost scenes (many of which had been used in Weinberg's book), [129] in accordance with an original continuity outline written by von Stroheim. All materials were provided by the Margaret Herrick Library. [129] This restoration runs almost four hours. It was produced by film preservationist Rick Schmidlin and edited by Glenn Morgan. [130] [131] Schmidlin restored many characters and sub-plots from the original version. A new musical score was composed by Robert Israel. The reconstruction cost $100, 000 to produce. Schmidlin called the finished product "a reconstruction of Von Stroheim's lost narrative. " [132] It premiered at the 1999 Telluride Film Festival and was later screened at the Venice Film Festival and the Pordenone Silent Film Festival before being aired on Turner Classic Movies on December 5, 1999. [133] Film critic Todd McCarthy called the restored version of Greed a triumph. [130] Roger Ebert called Greed a masterpiece and said that the restored Schmidlin cut illustrates the "prudish sensibilities [that] went into MGM's chop job. " [93] Rosenbaum praised the project, but claimed it could only be considered a "study version". [134] The reconstruction won a special citation from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards. [135] Myths and misconceptions [ edit] Stroheim was known to exaggerate events from his life and create myths about himself, such as his fictitious aristocratic origins and military record in Austria. [136] He claimed that shortly after having moved to the US in the early 1910s, he had found a copy of McTeague in a motel in New York and had read it in one sitting. He also said that wanting to adapt the book inspired him to make a career in filmmaking. [83] Georges Sadoul later stated that Stroheim had first read the novel in 1914, while living in poverty in Los Angeles. [17] Claims that Stroheim's original cut was a completely unabridged version of McTeague are not accurate. Stroheim's 300-page script was almost as long as the original novel, but he rethought the entire story and invented new scenes, as well as extensively elaborating existing ones. [137] In the Norris novel, McTeague's back story in Placer County and relationships with his father, mother and Potter were remembered as a flashback and took two paragraphs. In Stroheim's original Greed, this sequence took up the first hour of the film and was not a flashback. [138] Stroheim also modernized the novel's time span to between 1908 and 1923, a quarter-century later than the novel. [137] Greed has sometimes been said to be over 100 reels long. Stroheim said that his initial edit was 42 reels, although several of the people who saw this cut remembered it as being anywhere from 42 to 47 reels. [139] Grant Whytock remembered the edited version that Stroheim initially sent to him as between 26 and 28 reels. [87] MGM's official studio files list the original cut of the film at 22 reels. [140] As recently as 1992, former MGM Story Editor Samuel Marx erroneously claimed that the original version of Greed was 70 reels. [141] June Mathis is credited with co-writing the script due to her work on the 10-reel version. Mathis was the head of the Story Department at MGM and her contract stipulated that she would receive writing credit for all MGM films. She did not actually write any part of the screenplay. [25] She is said to have changed its title from McTeague to Greed during post-production; [142] however, a publicity still of the cast and crew taken during production clearly indicates that it was titled Greed before the MGM merger even took place. [143] The film's working title was " Greedy Wives ", a nod towards Stroheim's previous film Foolish Wives; this working title never was considered as the film's actual title. [12] The original version of Greed has been called the "holy grail" for film archivists. [21] Various reports of the original version being uncovered have proved to be unfounded. Among these "sightings" are a claim that a copy existed in a vault in South America that only was screened once a year for invited guests on New Year's Eve. Another claim was that a copy in the possession of a Texan millionaire was sold to Henri Langlois of Cinémathèque Française. Other claims include that a film society in Boston held a private screening of a print found by a World War II veteran in Berlin from a tip by Emil Jannings, that David Shepherd of the American Film Institute had found a copy at a garage sale, and that the head of a film society in Redwood City, California owned "the longest existing version of Greed (purchased in Europe). " Stroheim himself once stated that Benito Mussolini owned a personal copy of the film. [144] Stroheim's son Joseph von Stroheim once claimed that when he was in the Army during World War II, he saw a version of the film that took two nights to fully screen, although he could not remember exactly how long it was. [145] There were also reports that MGM had retained a copy of the original version. Iris Barry of the Museum of Modern Art claimed that a copy was locked in the MGM vaults, although Thalberg denied it. It was also reported that John Houseman had a private screening at MGM and that MGM owned two copies stored in a vault in a Utah salt mine. [144] Lotte Eisner once claimed that in the 1950s and 1960s, several cans of films labeled "McTeague" were found in MGM's vaults and destroyed by executives who did not know that it was footage from Greed. [146] MGM executive Al Lewin said that several years after the film's release Stroheim asked him for the cut footage. Lewin and editor Margaret Booth searched MGM's vault but could not find any missing footage.

Panga freedom. Some antivirus companies put all their best technology into their free antivirus products. By doing so, they gain mindshare and a good reputation, which helps them sell their commercial antivirus and suite products. It seems that Panda doesn't buy into this plan. The company does offer Panda Free Antivirus, but the free edition lacks some significant layers of protection. Most surprisingly it no longer includes the Safe Browsing component that protects you against malicious and fraudulent websites. If you need a free antivirus, you can do a lot better. With most antivirus tools, the main window is either white or dark gray, with buttons and panels for things like launching scans or checking updates. Panda stands out from the rest, with a nature scene as its background. Five icons at the bottom offer access to things like launching scans, managing the antivirus, and setting up VPN protection. Scrolling down a bit reveals five more icons for other useful features. It's an unusual look, and quite attractive. So-So Lab Results More important that its looks, however, are its lab results. Whenever I review an antivirus product, I check results from four independent antivirus testing labs. Just the fact that a product appears in reported results means that the lab believed the product merited attention, and the company budgeted for the cost of participation. Panda appears in the latest results from two of the four labs, with scores that are just OK. The experts at AV-Test Institute rate antivirus utilities on three criteria. Protection against malware attacks is essential, of course. A low impact on Performance means users won't trade security for convenience. And products that avoid flagging valid sites or programs as malicious earn a good score for Usability. A product can receive six points in each area, for a maximum of 18 points. In the latest reported results, Panda received the full six points for protection, which is good. A few false positives brought its Usability score down to 5. 5 points, though, and it earned just 5 points in the Performance test. With a total of 16. 5 of 18 possible points, Panda trails Avira Antivirus, Bitdefender, Norton, and several other products that earned a perfect 18 points. More than half of the products in the latest test report earned at least 17. 5 points, enough to get them designated a Top Product by the lab. At AV-Comparatives, testers don't assign numeric scores. Every product that passes a test earns Standard certification. Those that perform significantly better than the minimum can receive Advanced or Advanced+ certification. I closely follow four of this lab's tests; Panda participates in three of them. With one Advanced+ and two Advanced ratings, it's doing well. However, other products seriously outperformed Panda with this lab. In particular, Avast Free Antivirus and Bitdefender took Advanced+ in all four tests. Lab Test Results Chart The four labs each use a different scoring system. For example, SE Labs certifies products at five levels: AAA, AA, A, B, and C. I've developed an algorithm that maps all the scores onto a 10-point scale and reports a lab-results aggregate. Panda's aggregate lab score of 8. 9 points is decent, better than when I last put it to the test. Tested by all four labs, Avira, Kaspersky Free, and Avast came out to 9. 9, 9. 6, and 9. 3 points respectively. With excellent scores from three of the four, Bitdefender owns a perfect 10 points. Scanning and Scheduling Any time you install antivirus protection on a previously unprotected computer, you should run a full malware scan right away. There's no telling just what kind of malicious software might have made its home in the unprotected device. A full scan on my standard clean test system took an hour and 22 minutes. That's about the same as Sophos, and roughly twice the current average. Avast and Avira took even longer, at more than two hours. It's true that some antivirus products use the initial scan to optimize future scans. For example, the first scan with Total Defense Essential Anti-Virus ran about as long as Panda, but a repeat scan finished in about seven minutes. Panda did run faster the second time, but it still took 50 minutes. Of course, you can still use your computer while Panda is scanning, but you might want to run your scans at low-use times. The scheduler lets you set up one or more scans to run daily, weekly, or monthly. For each scheduled scan, you can have it check the whole computer, critical areas only, or a custom set of files and folders. Diminished Malware Protection Lab results are important, of course, but I also put every antivirus through my hands-on malware protection tests. One simple test uses antivirus samples that I collected and analyzed myself. The real-time protection in some antivirus utilities starts checking on these the moment Windows Explorer displays their details, wiping out any known nasties. With other products, including Avast, AVG, and McAfee AntiVirus Plus ($19. 99 at McAfee Australia), real-time protection doesn't kick until the malware tries to launch. Panda doesn't scan files just because they've appeared in Windows Explorer, but moving or copying files to a new location is enough to get the interest of its real-time scanner. When I moved my samples to a new folder, it started gradually nibbling away at the collection, stacking up popups in the bottom right corner, with an indicator for the number of notifications. Unlike some, it didn't wait for me to view and dismiss the popups. The whole stack vanished shortly after the last new popup appeared. Continuing the test, I launched the handful of samples that remained after the initial culling. Considering both types of protection, Panda detected 90 percent of the samples and scored 9. 0 of 10 possible points, edging out the 8. 9 points earned by Avast and AVG AntiVirus Free. Challenged with precisely the same collection of samples, Sophos Home Free scored 9. 3 points. Webroot SecureAnywhere AntiVirus ($18. 99 at Webroot) outshone the rest with a perfect 10 points. Malware Blocking Results Chart I maintain a second set of samples, hand-modified versions of the found-in-the-wild originals. For each sample, I change the filename, append zeroes to give it a different file size, and overwrite some non-executable bytes. As with the unmodified samples, I moved these to a new folder, to trigger Panda's real-time protection. Panda missed fully 60 percent of the samples whose originals it detected, which isn't good. This figure suggests a signature-based detection system that's overly rigid. I noticed that a couple of my real-world ransomware samples were among the modified samples Panda missed. Just to see what would happen, I launched those. The results were dismal. A Cerber sample encrypted all my documents and posted its ransom warning, without a peep from Panda. And the pernicious Petya rendered the virtual machine test system unusable by encrypting its entire hard drive. My next step was to challenge Panda with a collection of the newest malware-hosting URLs, ones recently discovered by MRG-Effitas. In this test, products get the opportunity to fend off malware by keeping the browser away from the nasty URL, or wipe out the malware sample at the download stage. Since my last review, Panda has removed the Safe Browsing feature from the free edition, so its only defense is to identify and eliminate malware on download. In this test, Panda missed almost twice as many verified malware downloads as it detected. For quite a few of the samples it did detect, its cleanup process crashed Internet Explorer. With just 35 percent protection, its score is one of the lowest I've recorded. At the other end of the spectrum, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, Norton, and Trend Micro defended against 99 percent of malware downloads. Sophos managed 97 percent, and Avira 96 percent. Panda's performance is just dismal by comparison. In addition, the absence of Safe Browsing in Panda's free edition means that you get no help with identifying phishing scams. You'll just have to rely on the phishing protection built into your browser, and stay alert for those the browser misses. See How We Test Security Software Limited VPN An antivirus protects your data when it's on your device, but can't do a thing for that data as it roams the wilds of the internet. For that kind of protection, you need a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. With a VPN, your network connections travel in encrypted form to the VPN company's server. Nobody, not even the owner of the Wi-Fi network you're using, can peek at or tweak your data. As a bonus, your traffic seems to be coming from the VPN server's IP address, so sites that try to track you using your personal IP address simply fail. All of Panda's security products, even the lowly free antivirus, include a VPN component. However, all of them except Panda Dome Premium, the very top product, put some serious limits on your VPN usage. In particular, you can only use 150MB of VPN bandwidth per day. AnchorFree Hotspot Shield Elite offers 500MB per day in its free version, while the free version of TunnelBear restricts you to 500MB per month—not very useful. In fact, Panda licenses VPN technology and server network from AnchorFree, as do quite a few other security companies. At first glance, it looks like you can choose a server in any of about two dozen countries, but if you try, you'll find that country selection is a premium feature. All you can do is let the VPN automatically connect to the server it thinks is best. The VPN's display page keeps you apprised of how much bandwidth you've used, which is important given that 150MB daily limit. For a little hands-on experience, I visited a couple media-heavy sites and watched a video on YouTube. Strangely, the reported data usage didn't change from zero bytes until it reached one whole megabyte. If you reach 149MB on a given day, be prepared for the VPN to kick you off at any time. Panda doesn't offer all the configuration options found in Hotspot Shield itself. For example, with Hotspot Shield you can arrange to automatically use a VPN connection on unsafe Wi-Fi networks. Hotspot Shield also includes a component that warns users away from dangerous websites. With Panda, you can configure the VPN to kick in when the PC reboots, but that's about it for settings. During installation, you can optionally install Panda Smart Shopping, a price checker much like Avast's SafePrice. When you visit a shopping site, you can check whether Panda supports it by pointing to the toolbar icon. If it does, you just shop as usual. In the background, Panda searches for your selected items on other sites, and also looks for special deals on the current site. If it finds anything useful, it slides in a banner at the top of the page to report. For example, when I searched for an adult Chewbacca costume at Walmart, it found several shipping deals on the site, and proposed some deals on other sites. I didn't actually find the suggested deals very useful. If I'm looking for a Chewbacca costume, a discount on Star Wars toys or tie fighter cufflinks just doesn't seem relevant. But there's no harm in letting Panda try to save you money. Bonus Features You'd think that a company giving away antivirus protection would reserve bonus security features for the paid version. You'd be wrong, in many cases. For example, with Avast you get a network security inspector, a simple password manager, a secure browser, the shopping price-checker I mentioned, and more. AVG blocks online trackers, marks up dangerous links in search results, and shreds your sensitive files to prevent forensic recovery. Like Panda, Avira offers limited VPN protection, along with a secure browser and a tool to check for missing security patches. Panda's bonus features show up in the second row of main-window icons. You'll notice one facet of USB Protection as soon as you insert a USB drive—Panda offers to scan it for malware. The other side is more proactive, guarding against malware that tries to infect your computer using USB autoplay. Panda calls what it does "vaccination. " Basically, it preemptively takes over the resources that USB malware would need and locks them down. It's helpful, and it's harmless. I recommend flipping the switch that automatically vaccinates every USB drive. Some extra-nasty Trojans prevent Windows from even booting, or interfere with installation of antivirus software. To deal with these challenging problems, you start by using the Rescue Kit on a clean computer to create a bootable USB drive or DVD. Reboot the problem computer using the Rescue Kit and you've got a fully capable antivirus running in an alternate operating system. Windows-based malware doesn't even launch, so it can't interfere with the cleanup process. Once the Rescue Kit has wiped out your existing troubles, you can proceed with installing Panda. The Process Monitor tool isn't for most users. It lists all processes that Panda has seen running on your PC, and lets you show just those that access the internet, those that have a medium to high threat level, or those that Panda blocked. You can dig in for details, including a list of every web address visited by the program. I can see this being useful to a tech support agent who's attempting to diagnose a problem by remote control, but for the average user it's too much information. Not an Improvement Panda Free Antivirus has an unusual and attractive user interface, and it feels speedy and lightweight. The USB vaccination feature is unusual and clever. But since our last review it has totally dropped Safe Browsing protection against dangerous and fraudulent websites. As a result, it tanked our malicious URL test and did nothing to warn about phishing sites. It gets mixed scores from the independent labs, and its protection failed against two modified ransomware samples. You can do a lot better in the free antivirus realm. All four of the labs I follow include Avast Free Antivirus and Kaspersky Free in their testing, and both earned scores from good to excellent. Both offer the protection against dangerous and fraudulent URLs that Panda lacks. Avast offers a surprising range of bonus features for a free product. Either of these Editors' Choice free antivirus tools will serve you better than Panda Free Antivirus. Pros Slick, attractive user interface. Vaccinates USB drives against malware. Bonus features include limited VPN. Free. View More Cons Mixed scores in independent lab tests. Dismal score in our malware download test. No protection against dangerous or fraudulent URLs. Failed against modified ransomware samples. The Bottom Line Panda Free Antivirus boasts an attractive user interface and an unusual USB vaccination feature, but it no longer includes protection against dangerous or fraudulent websites and it fares poorly in our hands-on tests.

It was time for this to get a remaster. Hei, jeg er 24 år gammel mann som trenger litt rådgivning da jeg føler meg litt lost i livet akkurat nå. Litt bakgrunnshistorie: Jeg er utdannet elektriker og jobbet som det i 2 år etter jeg hadde fått fagbrev. Da jobbet jeg primært med serviceoppdrag kombinert med fiber skjøting. Jeg kjente jeg fikk en "knekk" etter jeg følte jeg ikke trivdes veldig som service elektriker og da bestemte jeg meg for at jeg ikke skulle jobbe med dette i resten av livet så jeg søkte Elkraft Teknisk fagskole heltid (2år). Grunn til jeg mistrives var noe med at jeg er ganske introvert person og føltes ikke ut som jeg 100% mestret det med å sjonglere mange kunder med 2 forskjellige type jobber (elektro og ekom) Situasjonen er nå er at jeg er på andre året og skal være ferdig utdannet etter eksamener i starten av juni. Jeg har stor trivdes på skolen og det hele opplegget rundt dette. Men jeg nå sitter igjen med en følelse at man ikke har god nok kunnskap for å ta en jobb pågrunn av at man lærer veldig bredt rundt alle fagene og ikke er noen spesialt på noe som helst. Når jeg sitter å ser etter jobber jeg kan søke på i Finn som jeg hadde tenkt meg har jeg enten ikke nok erfaring (kun 2 år etter fagbrev) eller jobber jeg ikke er sikker på jeg kan takle. Noe jeg har ønsket meg hvis jeg fortsatt skal være i elektro bransjen var enten å jobbe offshore, maritime sektoren eller saksbehandler hos en elektrikerbedrift hvor jeg samtidig kunne lære fra andre. Dette bekymrer meg veldig mye hvor det går utover nattesøvn. Min største frykt er at jeg ikke har noe å gjøre/planer til sommeren kommer. Det økonomiske er ikke det største bekymringen da jeg har spart helt siden jeg startet å jobbe, og kan fint leve på disse pengene noen år hvis nødvendig. Det jeg er ut etter er noen andres synspunkter(tips) hva jeg kan gjøre? Hvilken vei kan jeg ta videre hvor? Eventuelt hva kan jeg søke på videre i forhold til skole eller jobb (Må ikke være noe med elektro å gjøre) Jeg er takknemlig for alle tips og råd så jeg kan se litt mer lyst på framtiden. Mulig det kan virke som jeg tar noen sorger på forskudd og dette er bagateller men jeg opplever det ikke slik. Er det noe jeg ikke ønsker er å gå tilbake til å jobbe som bolig service elektriker. Edit: Kan tilføye at jeg er opp for tips til annen utdanning men vil gjerne vite hvilket løp jeg må ta hvis det skal være mulig. Generell studiekomp? osv. Mine interesser er i dataspill, teknologi, økonomi, fornybar energi. Kan også si at jeg er villig til å flytte omtrent hvor som helst for jobb/studier.
Boys Don't Cry starring Hillary Swank. I'll never want to watch this again. COME AND SEE is the most powerful war film I have ever seen. The 'aktion' scene is overwhelming, a wild circus of horror.
