视频简介
在美国，警察被赋予了控制人们个人生活的非凡权力。警察决定谁是可疑的，谁“符合描述”。他们定义威胁，并决定如何应对。他们要求人们服从，并附带不断的暴力威胁。真实的和可感知的犯罪行为以及对社会秩序的威胁均由警方制定，成千上万这样的互动每天在大城小镇中上演。警察使国家的抽象权力变得具体。 《权力背后》追溯了金钱的积累，政治权力的巩固，以及几乎不受限制的两党支持，正是这些支持创建了我们所知的警察制度。从18世纪的奴隶巡逻，到19世纪第一个公共资助的警察部门，再到20世纪60年代和20世纪20年代的起义，这部电影提供了一段直击内心的沉浸式旅程，展示了历史的演进历程。 部分文章，部分采访，部分档案拼贴，《权力背后》用历史材料来阐述我们当下的现实，并探讨与不断增长而且在很大程度上未受到限制的权威有关的紧迫问题：谁被监管，谁被保护，谁来决定，...。Disarmingly realistic in its depiction of the realities of frontier life, Heartland is a strong antidote to the cliches of traditional Westerns. This semi-documentary slice of life is based on the diaries of Elmore Randall Stewart about her days on the Wyoming frontier in the early 20th century. It's a strongly feminist statement about a woman raising her small daughter alone and scrapping for a living by working for a shy Scottish rancher. Director Richard Pearce brings an endearing touch to a film that is helped greatly by the dazzling cinematography of Fred Murphy. Conchata Ferrell and Rip Torn star in this small film that substitutes veracity for a high-powered plot. Pearce worked as a cinematographer on Woodstock and other documentaries before making his directorial debut. Winner of the 1980 Berlin Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival。
