8:46 am
a spiderman deserves vacation and you've seen the the avengers the last avengers movies i mean half the universe gets destroyed and gets rebuilt you know spiderman's a big part of that whole thing the guy must be exhausted so i. should choose to take some time out but this film spider-man far from home it's quite interesting the sort of scheme of the whole marvel universe because essentially what marvel's trying to do with this film it's both it takes place right after the events of. vendors and game so it continues that story but the same time it's trying to. put introduce us to the spider make errors or better yet put him in the center of the story so we saw the spider-man characters played by tom holland in this in this version in a couple movies already he had another movie spider-man homecoming which sort of introduced the character with this with this film but i was trying to do these 2 things are trying to sort of restart this new chapter in the marvel universe and put spider at the center of essentially doing what they did the very 1st movie what

2008 with iron man with robert downey jr and i tried with tom holland in the robert downey jr characters of spider-man so veyron and tom hollands that are down to the guy i know but it's cool fall from home the british actor tom holland is actually much closer to home in this film because it's it's europe that's getting destroyed . london venice and prague are in for a beating in this latest film as our friendly neighborhood spider-man swings over and tries to save europe's most picturesque landmarks anticipation was high at the film's premiere in l.a. fans are nervous to see if this spider-man can reboot the marvel cinematic universe after the epic conclusion that was a dangerous anger star tom hall and promises still get their money's worth. all new spider-man something we've never seen. the for stakes higher than they've ever been before and a film that follows them off the piece is avengers and you know this film is the conclusion to face 3 and it is the introduction of phase 4 and they won't
8:48 am
disappoint. but if you're in the room go to europe. peter parker wants to take a break from being spiderman and on a school trip to europe get back to being an awkward teenager maybe even get a little bit closer to a very special if somewhat snarky girl. you are really pretty and therefore i have value no no that's not what i meant at all i was just a messing with you. and with you you're welcome you look pretty too but romance will have to wait there are big baddies to fight in the form magic creatures called the elementals new onboard is jake gyllenhaal as the very weird looking superhero mysterio you don't want to be part of this. along with saving the world spider-man also has to learn to grow up and take on the mantle of being a hero as well as the burden of shouldering marvel's
8:49 am
a multi-billion dollar movie franchise. i read this franchise it's bigger the ball business bigger than star wars but it's actually not beguiling that long how come it's a huge yeah i mean marvel's quite quite amazing just as a business proposition but i mean they've they've they've managed to create a very strict formula with you know superheroes action in every film that they make but within that formula they have a huge variety of genres i mean. you know the the galaxy the guardian the galaxy films are some space spoofs you know you have serious dramas are war movies like captain america movies or war movies and this is the spider-man movie this version is actually a teen romantic comedy as much as it is an action film and and the best scenes i think in this movie are the ones that you almost like a john hughes. movie i mean the flirtatious scenes between them jay and peter parker is as and seems like teens just hanging out talking about t.v.
8:50 am
and so on i mean not going to get that james bond we're going to think that really broadly expands the market and the audience for these friends and these movies they get really good actors and directors don't you know that's that's also the amazing thing i mean you've had like you know robert downey jr cate blanchett at the benedict cumberbatch all been marvel superhero stars and here in this film we've got jake gyllenhaal who's who's who's a phenomenal actor who's never done this kind of movies before and he plays a kind of real figure this mysterious who wears a sort of fishbowl glowing fishbowl helmet you know on the page would be utterly ridiculous but he's such a great actor a joho is that he gives a depth to this character and creates what would actually seem to be a joke into something that is almost a commentary on on faith news that's a bit of a commentary on donald trump i want to give any spoilers but there's a lot there i mean you can say what you will about the bible films they are formulaic but they're also very very stark and if you want to you can read a lot into a very funny and very gentle save themselves seriously very much very much as always thanks very much. now if you're

a film you will know this book in a series 100 jumma must reach. the reader in 995 and stephen daldry directed the movie in 2008 was highly acclaimed even garnering 2 oscar nominations including one for best picture the story of the reader is a great example of how literature can be such a powerful meigs of communication you think your ex is a creep imagine your 1st big love has a blot on our hands. lots of it. that's what happens in band hutch links novel the reader it's 1950 s. germany and 15 year old falls head over heels for an older woman a street car conductor named hannah hannah is fascinating and she's freaky she bathes gently and she also beats him. to to develop

when the book came out in the 1990 s. bahn had schlink took a lot of criticism for portraying and nazi criminal not as a monster but as a human being. that's a great story all this week we're looking at artists who deal with light and shade in all its full we begin with dutch. and go dine who met at college in the netherlands in 2007 they started studio drift where they use technology to represent nature he is fascinated by science fiction and she by nature they combine their talents in an intriguing way. studio drafts artworks combine designing nature and technology with results that sharpen viewers perceptions and suggest feelings of freedom and greatly missed.
8:54 am
the 2 artists from amsterdam even make cement blocks levitate. studio drift is a lot of gore dying and ralph no we took. him back home was called one and we had this idea and he came back and he called on the plans of an incredible idea we have to take a closer look completely and can you imagine it just floats. in the film drifters that goes floating blocks. with tibet crondall all the scottish highlands are in a very contrast so what with which of art and they're searching for a system that they do fits here because they don't all fits in the natural system so it's actually the other way around that in our lives we are human beings and so
8:55 am
so we are the nature of natural parts in the book environments so our lives is exactly the opposite. studio drift questions the divide between nature and technology this sculpture reacts to visitors movements as if it were a living being. and the lights on this tree respond to visitors heartbeats and brainwaves it was feels like there's like a little stars in the sky to fix me up because it is a very movie like going to go dancing somewhere because it's also inspiring and it's also life for me you know. back in 2007 the artist duo gained worldwide a crane with the sculpture fragile future it's a delicate snapshot of nature with lamps made from real dandy. lion's. head was dried in the studio then glued into place using tweezers before the artists added an l.e.d. light. in 2017 studio drift unveiled their work franchise freedom
8:56 am
a formation of 300 drones which the artist lying like a flock of birds into the lights going over miami beach. he wanted to be the 1st to bring out. a swarm of drones that would actually react on each other and have these poetic mormon real birds swarm a tree house it's raising the question like what actual freedom is horrible are we living in there are losing our freedom and where where do we want to live do you want to be a shepherd liebert free or do we want to adjust ourselves to a social structure and not be so free. studio just says absolute freedom is an illusion but they don't seem to be letting that given the way of their creativity who are asking the big questions about humanity and other nations ship to nature and technology.
