his companions on that journey into a naxalite - ridden conflict zone where everyone is too afraid or too skeptical to vote are senior policeman atma singh ( pankaj tripathi ) , a local booth level officer malko netam ( anjali patil ) , an official of indifferent health called loknath ( raghubir yadav ) , and a bunch of cops who are on duty to guard them .
anjali patil is a national award winning actress . she is only 4 years old in the movies , but has acted in over 10 films across languages . many have already compared her to the talent of the late smita patil , but she would rather create her own space with time . she loves reading , riding bikes and dreaming about doing things that she believes are impossible . . but there is more to this young talent that what meets the eye . here she is , talking about her journey so far in # makingthecut for long live cinema .

patil affirm to be drastically amazing for her imitation of rohini . the film premiered in asia on the mumbai movie entertain on october thirteen , 2011 and premiered in india in august 2012 .
patil was born in marathi family and raised in nashik . patil attended a local high school and by age 14 , she had decided to pursue acting as her career . she persuaded her parents to send her to center for performing arts at university of pune . in june 2007 , she earned bachelor ' s degree in arts with a gold medal for her excellence . later that year , patil was chosen to pursue masters in theater design at national school of drama in new delhi . national school of drama presented her with many opportunities to work extensively with indian and international film and theater actors and directors .
patil recieved her breakthrough with prakash jha’s 2012 film ‘chakravyuh’ in which she portrayed the character of naxalite leader juhi and received applause for her powerful performance , which led to jha signing her for a three - film deal . patil continued her brilliant performance in the sinhala language film ‘oba nathuwa obe ekk’ which became her first international film directed by acclaimed sri lankan director prasanna vithanage . she dubbed the movie on her own which made the first actress of indian origin to dub in the sinhala language . patil became the youngest actor to received a best actor female silver peacock award at the international film festival of india , goa 2012 . she then appeared in marathi language films ‘bardo and ‘the silence’ and played pivotal roles in films like ‘mirzya’ and ‘finding fanny’ . patil is set to appear in films like ‘nimmo’ , ‘sameer’ and ‘newton’ in late 2017 .
she will be seen in the title role as and in nimmo which is directorial debut of rahul shanklya produced by anand l . rai . patil also finished another hindi film newton along with rajkumar rao slated to release next year .
crucial to their effort is the casting , and the fact that a large part of the film is shot on location in the jungles of chhattisgarh . casting directors romil modi and tejas thakkar found many of their artistes in the very region the story inhabits . this explains why , thankfully , nobody is self - consciously ‘playing poor’ or ‘playing tribal’ . of the leads , rajkummar rao , anjali patil and raghubir yadav live up to their track record by delivering immersive performances , with each one lending an endearing touch to the characters they play . ( as an aside , it must be said that patil’s deliberately deglamourised styling in each of the films i have seen her in so far has failed to camouflage her great beauty . she is a stunner . )
patil made her silver screen debut with prashant nair’s 2011 independent film ‘delhi in a day’ in which she portrayed the character of rohini and shared screen space with film and theatre veterans like victor banerjee and lillete dubey . despite a stellar star cast , patil managed to own her space in the film and received rave reviews for her work . the film received critical acclaim at the mumbai film festival . around the same time , patil appeared in ‘green bangle’ , an international short film which she also produced . the movie was selected as the official entry from india to the wifti ( women in film and television international , los angeles ) and was screened in 2012 as part of the wifti international showcase across 15 countries and 44 cities .

there’s definitely some method anjali follows to get into her roles , but she says sometimes the directors make her unlearn quite a bit . for her sinhala film with you without you , that won her a best actress - award at iffi , goa , she reveals her method was crushed by the director prasanna vithanage .

a couple of years ago , anjali , while shooting for naa bangaru talli , was never a talkative person on sets . she stayed so much into the character that she was asked to switch on and off between shots . the transition to reality was a big thing for her then . it’s not the case any more .

the nominations for colors screen awards 2012 / 2013 are out . anurag basu’s barfi has received the most number of nominations , followed by english vinglish and vicky donor .
surprisingly , the very best ( and most deservingly ) films of the year have received the best film nominations . popular films like agneepath , rowdy rathore , jab tak hai jaan , dabangg 2 , talaash and ek tha tiger have not been nominated . probably the first time in a long time , a . r . rahman hasn’t been nominated in the best music category .
1 ) the best choreography should also have included “aga bai” from aiyya . it was one of the best dances seen .
2 ) wondering how there is no nomination for housefull 2 under comic section ? it was the funniest movies of 2012 .
3 ) best debut female doesn’t contain pam from hate story ? ? she acted well in it , better than other nominations .
their fans say sallu biggest award is the no . of footfalls & bo collections… then why does sallu bhai attend these awards and dance if he isnt interested in awards . . ? and why sallu fans wait / watch these awards more passionately than other fans if they know sallu’s not gonna get any of them . . ?
aamir khan doesn’t believe in award shows because he feels that award shows are biased . salman khan will attend the award show and he will perform there however , he doesn’t accept awards because he too feels award shows are unfair . and the fact that akshay , ajay and paresh rawal not nominated for best actor ( lead ) makes this award show ridiculous . i am sure best actor award will go to srk or ranbir because those awards are already bought .
@ mohammed i wonder what srk doesn’t buy , dis implies he’s d richest man in d world / universe since he buys everything because i’m sure this position & awards are damn well very expensive .
oh please , grow up . this is way too pathetic . no need 2 b jealous . just be happy 4 him or just simply ignore him . don’t kill urself over every breath dat he takes . u dont like him , why bother .
@ rj yes , eveb salman , aamir , akshay and ajay can buy those little awards but they will not lower their standards to srk’s level . your ego won’t allow you to admit that salman khan is the current king of bollywood and box office king . he has a lot of money and he will use his money for charity and not those awards . salman attends award shows only to have fun and meet his friends and he doesn’t take these shows seriously .
@ rj… . wat u said is 100 % correct… . sallu , akki fans know they will never win an award for crap masala movies…and so make crap excuses when others win…especially if srk wins one ! !
@ nakul well , i am not jealous of him but you srk fans are jealous of us salman fans . you say salman is a south indian copy cat , cheap hero who plays cheap action movies etc blah blah blah crap and you guys don’t have any valid point to back it up . you guys are jealous of his position and by the way , salman has given more blockbusters than any other heroes .
@ outlander another srk fan with same lame argument . well , srk’s movies haven’t even shattered salman’s non holiday movie ( ready ) are you serious ? srk can never do roles such as chulbul pandey , radhe , prem ( hahk ) what’s wrong with masala movies ? is it written in our constitution that making masala movies is ilegal huh ?
srk is the only superstar who chats wid fans regularly unlike others who use twitter as publicity platform , still people call him the most egoistic person .
award number 1 . he is totally ignored because he has highest number of flops ( around 50 - 51 films ) … . .
award number 2 . salu has 36 flop films with budget less than 30 cr .
award number 4 . he has zero best actor awards . waiting for award from rediff . ha ha ha… . . number 1 star… . not having single awards…big joke . . he will not retire until he gets one
for me omg was the best movie of 2012 but is not nominated at all , ranbir is sure to win the best actor award . for all salman haters , just remember this : rajni kanth , salman khan & aamir khan are way above & beyond these cheap valueless awards ( except the national awards ) and their biggest awards & rewards are their fans love & appreciation , they simply dont care about these cheap ‘fixed & buy - able’ awards . salman himself said in an interview that he is not the most perfect actor and nor does he aspires to be one , all he wants is his fans love , appreciation and acclaim and wants to entertain them as long as possible . these cheap awards are for “award - hungry” & “award - at - any - cost” type of lesser mortals like mr . srk ( the greatest actor ever because he has won more ‘awards’ than any other actor ? ? ? ? ? ? ) . even if salman wins any critics award for his outstanding performance in d2 , his fans will not take it seriously as they very well know that ranbir or hrithik are the more worthy contenders but srk fans can never acknowledge the fact that srk doesnt deserve any award this year nor some of his earlier awards .
hrithik , ranvir , priyanka , vidya sridevi dserv the best actor awrdz… . bst music should be vishal shekhar for soty…sonu nigam shld b nominated for abhi mujhme kahin… . agneepath shld be nominated in bst movies list… . .

in a tête - à - tête with pune times , the actress , better known for portraying a naxal leader in chakravyuh , explains why she chose the rajinikanth film and opens up about the time she thought she had gone crazy . excerpts :
well , it took a few trips to chennai for this to happen . my sri lankan film ' oba nathuwa oba ekka ' ( with you without you ) had a limited release in chennai and some people managed to watch it before it got banned there . so i got called for a meeting with
( director of ' kaala ' and ' kabali ' ) . we hit it off and bonded big time . also , it’s a rajinikanth film . why say no when you have the opportunity to experience something grand like this ?
“larger than life” is an understatement while describing a rajinikanth film . was there a feeling of being overshadowed in this film ?
not at all ! in fact , if you see the director’s earlier films , each role is balanced . rajinikanth will be the focus of the film but that doesn’t mean other actors won’t get their due .
after mirziya , you are teaming up with rakeysh omprakash mehra again . tell us more .
rakeysh sir and i wanted to collaborate on something else , and we are doing so on mere pyare prime minister , which is about a boy who wants to build a toilet for his mother . i play a single mother in the film .
' , was released online recently . do you think the opening up of online spaces for film releases has come as a boon for many filmmakers ?
i have come to believe that as long as a film is reaching viewers , the purpose of making it is achieved . mrs scooter was stuck due to some reasons but now it will be there for people to see . even delhi in a day got people’s attention when it released online . so it’s a good thing , irrespective of the fact that only a certain number of people watch films online . anyway , i have never cared about mass audiences as much as i have about a film reaching people .
besides hindi and tamil films , you have two marathi projects lined up too . it’s a busy year for you .
will hopefully release too . in ' bardo ' , i share the screen with
while ' silence ' has me paired opposite nagraj manjule . both are exciting projects .
you’ve said before that you are at peace in the mountains and big gatherings with lots of people scare you . with so much work this year , how are you going to make up for the lost time in the mountains ?
( laughs ) i had started having hallucinations about being in the mountains . one day i woke up and thought there was snow in my room . at one point i thought i would go crazy due to my longing for the mountains . i am in a happy space now but the yearning for the hills remains . the moment i have time , i will escape .

his point is pretty straightforward , as he continues : don’t get so hung up on how clean you are , just do your work one step at a time , one day at a time , and in time the country will take care of itself . read : do not let your ego cause you to obsess to such an extent about your giant role in the big picture , that you forget the old dictum about little drops making the ocean .
the elderly character played by sanjay mishra does not appear in the film beyond this conversation he has with the protagonist , but his words put in a nutshell the premise of newton . writer - director amit v . masurkar’s sophomore venture is the story of a rookie sarkari afsar determined to conduct a free and fair election in a remote , forested chattisgarh polling station to which he has been assigned as presiding officer . newton kumar ( rajkummar rao ) is a portrait in youthful earnestness . he is inexperienced and innocent enough – some may say naïve – to be startled at the opposition to his efforts by those within the establishment .
what you see in this mix are a conscientious soul , a corrupt cynic , a woman doing her job while being resigned to her people’s fate , an old man resigned to the harshness of a reality he does little to change and a satellite group flowing with the tide . it takes all kinds to make the world , it takes just one you , me or newton to be the change we want to see in that world .
hindi cinema has for long more or less ignored the existence of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in our society , with most films being centred around upper - caste , north indian , hindu men . stories of dalits and women have usually been told by art filmmakers , and that too in weepie form . when dalits have appeared in mainstream ventures , they have usually been supporting players and victims with no agency , uplifted by kind brahmin and kshatriya men . in the matter of caste representation , southern indian cinema – though far from perfect – is head and shoulders above the north , with dr biju’s thoughtful malayalam film kaadu pookunna neram just this year taking us deep into tribal territory . marathi cinema too scores high on this front with recent years bringing us the offbeat genius of chaitanya tamhane’s court ( 2015 ) and nagraj manjule’s commercially conventional yet thematically groundbreaking sairat ( 2016 ) .
masurkar razes multiple hindi film clichés to the ground in newton by resorting to low - key black comedy to tell a tale of adivasis being pulled in different directions by the police and naxalites on election day , by making an adivasi – that too a woman – one of the agents of change in the film , and by conceiving newton as a man of indeterminate caste , even if clearly not an adivasi himself .
newton ’s story has been credited to masurkar , the screenplay and dialogues to him and mayank tewari . together , they have managed to keep their tone light throughout , while never once making light of the unnerving situations before us .
to be a scene - stealer in an assembly of such immense talent seems impossible , yet somehow pankaj tripathi achieves that . this is an artiste who values our time and makes every second , every flicker of an eyelash count . nowhere is this more in evidence than in the scene in which atma singh is first introduced to newton kumar . by then , the latter’s name has already been a butt of many jokes . atma does not offer a wisecrack , but with an expression so fleeting that you might miss it if you blink an eye at that moment , he wordlessly lets us – and newton – know that he has noticed , he is taken aback and amused , but he does not care enough to do anything more . now that he has delivered back to back brilliance in anaarkali of aarah , gurgaon , bareilly ki barfi and newton , it can be safely said that 2017 is turning out to be the year of the tripathi .
good camerawork and editing are an inextricable part of every good performance – this fact is exemplified by a scene in which atma sits primly , wearing a floppy hat , and across a large vacant plot of land , observes newton who stands at the door of the polling station . atma’s posture , evident even in an extreme long shot where his face is a blur , atma’s tininess in newton’s eyes from that distance , and the pace of the cuts going back and forth between them had the combined effect of causing me to giggle , despite the awareness that newton is disheartened at that point . a salaam here and for the flow of the rest of the narrative to cinematographer swapnil s . sonawane and editor shweta venkat mathew .
masurkar made his directorial debut with the laugh - so - much - that - you - might - die sulemani keeda in 2014 , which sadly did not get the public attention it deserved . with his second film , it is clear that intelligently used humour is his weapon of choice , irrespective of the battle at hand . it is not often that an indian filmmaker takes to comedy in a setting this dismal – masurkar and his co - writer do , without being condescending or trivialising the almost depressing circumstances it chronicles in lands far beyond the india most of us are exposed to .
there is so much that newton alludes to – the exploitation of tribals by politicians , the ignorance of ‘mainstream’ society , the constraints faced by honest government servants , the apathy or corruption that these constraints trigger even in those not naturally inclined to evil , language politics ( i challenge anyone who claims that hindi is the language of north india as a whole , to decipher the smattering of gondi dialogues in the film without the help of a translator ) , the dubious efficacy of all violence ( including violence that claims to have noble goals ) . yet the film is not a phd thesis nor is it all bleak . with his emphasis on the almost darwinian significance of the lone soldier in human civilisation , masurkar snatches optimism from the jaws of pessimism .
this is a film designed to give us hope that might even be deemed ridiculously in the face of the challenges before india’s many newtons . one theory is that hope is a compulsion , a choice some of us make to maintain our sanity ; the other is that human history bears witness to the value of being that drop in the ocean . in the words of a song from this film ( music : naren chandavarkar and benedict taylor , lyrics : varun grover ) : “ manzil door thhi / dheemi chaal thhi / udti dhool mein / aankhen laal thhi / chalte chalte khud rasta mudh gaya / tujhko dekh ke panchhi udh gaya . ” ( the road was long , your pace slow , your eyes reddening with the flying dust . as you walked , the path turned , and at the sight of you , the bird took flight . )
newton ’s music wafts so gently in and out of the narrative , that you almost do not notice when it is not there . when it is though , it makes its presence felt without rubbing itself in our faces .
newton was premiered early this year at the berlin film festival where it won a top award . the cleverness of masurkar’s film is that it is designed to appeal to audiences beyond the already converted and beyond the artistically inclined fest circuit .
it takes us to a region rarely explored by bollywood , and to a scenario so bizarre that as viewers we are left with just three options : laugh , cry or be furious . option 4 : all the above combined .
if you do watch this film , i strongly suggest that you stay till the very last credit has rolled off the screen . you do not want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of listening to the closing song kar , in which lyricist irshad kamil writes : “… paas pados mein kya banta hai / kya hai masala kya hai tel / tune isse kya lena hai ? / raajneeti ki shop hai , mitron / sabhi emotion hote sale / border pe apni sena hai / tu twitter pe chhod missile / subah baitth aur shaam kar / dil bola / dil bola / dil bola apna kaam kar / chal tu apna kaam kar . ” ( roughly : why bother with what’s cooking in the neighbour’s house ? in the business of politics , my friend , every emotion is for sale . our army is on the border , but you launch missiles day and night on twitter . still , my heart says , focus on your job . come , play your part . )

the french political thinker alexis de toqueville travelled extensively through the united states in gathering research for his book democracy in america . in this excerpt , he described the belief that american men and women lived in “separate spheres : ” men in public , women in the home . this expectation justified the denial of rights to women . all women were denied political rights in nineteenth century america , but only a small number of wealthy families could afford to remove women from economic production , like de toqueville claimed .

the idea of separate spheres also displayed a distinct class bias . middle - and upper - classes reinforced their status by shielding “their” women from the harsh realities of wage labor . women were to be mothers and educators , not partners in production . but lower - class women continued to contribute directly to the household economy . the middle - and upper - class ideal was only feasible in households where women did not need to engage in paid labor . in poorer households , women engaged in wage labor as factory workers , piece - workers producing items for market consumption , tavern and inn keepers , and domestic servants . while many of the fundamental tasks women performed remained the same—producing clothing , cultivating vegetables , overseeing dairy production , and performing any number of other domestic labors—the key difference was whether and when they performed these tasks for cash in a market economy .

the vast majority of today’s conflicts are not fought by nation states and their armies , but rather by informal entities : gangs and warlords using small arms and improvised weapons . women , war & peace reveals how the post - cold war proliferation of small arms has changed the landscape of war , with women becoming primary targets and suffering unprecedented casualties . yet they are simultaneously emerging as necessary partners in brokering lasting peace and as leaders in forging new international laws governing conflict . with depth and complexity , women , war & peace spotlights the stories of women in conflict zones from bosnia to afghanistan and colombia to liberia , placing women at the center of an urgent dialogue about conflict and security , and reframing our understanding of modern warfare .

while the market revolution remade many women’s economic roles , their legal status remained essentially unchanged . upon marriage , women were rendered legally dead by the notion of coverture , the custom that counted married couples as a single unit represented by the husband . without special precautions or interventions , women could not earn their own money , own their own property , sue , or be sued . any money earned or spent belonged by law to their husbands . women shopped on their husbands’ credit and at any time husbands could terminate their wives’ access to their credit . although a handful of states made divorce available—divorce had before only been legal in congregationalist states such as massachusetts and connecticut , where marriage was strictly a civil contract , rather than a religious one—it remained extremely expensive , difficult , and rare . marriage was typically a permanently binding legal contract .
that´s an interesting , odd , disturbing little film which hadn´t the luck of being successful in its time but has got some appreciation in the last years . after poor reviews ,
thirteen women
was edited from its initial 74´minutes down to 59´minutes , which is the duration of the print we can watch nowadays . those missing 15 minutes explain some of the discrepancies of the script - to start with the fact that there are only 10 women and not the announced 13 . two characters were deleted completely and as rumors will have it a scene of myrna chasing irene through a train - i´d love to watch that ! considering what is packed in the surviving 60 minutes one can only imagine what happened in this missing quarter of an hour . even the fact that
pamela hogan is an executive producer of women , war & peace , producer / writer of the film about bosnia which kicks off the series – i came to testify – and co - writer of the series’ fourth film , the war we are living , about colombia . previously , she has been at the forefront of making pbs’s emmy - winning , international documentary series wide angle , a standard setter in the coverage of global women’s issues .
similar domestic expectations played out in the slave states . enslaved women labored in the fields . whites argued that african american women were less delicate and womanly than white women and therefore perfectly suited for agricultural labor . the southern ideal meanwhile established that white plantation mistresses were shielded from manual labor because of their very whiteness . throughout the slave states , however , aside from the minority of plantations with dozens of slates , the majority of white women by necessity continued to assist with planting , harvesting , and processing agricultural projects despite the cultural stigma attached to it . white southerners continued to produce large portions of their food and clothing at home . even when they were market - oriented producers of cash crops , white southerners still insisted that their adherence to plantation slavery and racial hierarchy made them morally superior to greedy northerners and their callous , cutthroat commerce . southerners and northerners increasingly saw their ways of life as incompatible .
thirteen women features the only film appearance of actress peg entwistle . entwistle became despondent over her career and jumped to her death from hollywood sign on september 16 , 1932 . the film premiered in new york on october 15 ( almost exactly a month after her suicide ) , and in los angeles in november .

which is also , of course , what also makes them almost irresistable . if you’re going to read a bad book , you don’t want one that’s half - heartedly bad , one whose author betrays any misgivings or sense of aesthetic standards . you want a full , unrepentant wallow–and that’s exactly what you get . in the case of thirteen women , you get adultery–both hetero - and homosexual–suicide , murder , rape , revenge , envy , gossip , corruption , show business , clairvoyance , yoga , blackmail , and chain letters . and i probably left something out of that list .

domestic expectations constantly changed and the market revolution transformed many women’s traditional domestic tasks . cloth production , for instance , advanced throughout the market revolution as new mechanized production increased the volume and variety of fabrics available to ordinary people . this relieved many better - off women of a traditional labor obligation . as cloth production became commercialized , women’s home - based cloth production became less important to household economies . purchasing cloth , and later , ready - made clothes , began to transform women from producers to consumers . one woman from maine , martha ballard , regularly referenced spinning , weaving , and knitting in the diary she kept from 1785 to 1812 . 41 martha , her daughters , and female neighbors spun and plied linen and woolen yarns and used them to produce a variety of fabrics to make clothing for her family . the production of cloth and clothing was a year - round , labor - intensive process , but it was for home consumption , not commercial markets .

women might also parlay their feminine skills into businesses . in addition to working as seamstresses , milliners , or laundresses , women might undertake paid work for neighbors or acquaintances or combine clothing production with management of a boarding house . even slaves with particular skill at producing clothing could be hired out for a higher price , or might even negotiate to work part - time for themselves . most slaves , however , continued to produce domestic items , including simpler cloths and clothing , for home consumption .

in 1741 , english colonists in new york city felt anxious . they worried about spanish and french plans to gain control of north america . they felt threatened by a recent influx of irish immigrants , whose catholicism might incline them to accept jobs as spanish spies . and , above all , they feared that the city ' s growing slave population , now numbering about 20 % of the 11 , 000 residents of manhattan and increasingly competing with white tradesmen for jobs , might revolt . when a series of thirteen fires broke out in march and april of 1741 , english colonists suspected a negro plot - - perhaps one involving poor whites . much as in salem a half century before , hysteria came to colonial america , and soon new york city ' s jails were filled to overflowing . in the end , despite grave questions about the contours of the suspected conspiracy , thirty - four defendants were executed . thirteen black men burned at the stake and seventeen more hanged . in addition , four alleged white ringleaders - - two men and two women - - made trips to new york city ' s gallows .
in cities , where women could buy cheap imported cloth to turn into clothing , they became skilled consumers . they stewarded money earned by their husbands by comparing values and haggling over prices . in one typical experience , mrs . peter simon , a captain’s wife , inspected twenty - six yards of holland cloth to ensure it was worth the £130 price . 42 even wealthy women shopped for high - value goods . while servants or slaves routinely made low - value purchases , the mistress of the household trusted her discriminating eye alone for expensive or specific purchases .
this understanding of the young woman kidnapped as a human being with a full , rounded life that both precedes and extends beyond her relationship with her kidnapper reveals a society with a greater awareness of both the extent of violence against women , and its impact . we know now that , for example ,
and while thirteen is fiction , part of that realness lies in the fact that , unlike a grisly headline , it moves beyond the misery . sensitivity is key but so too is suspense and – though there’s no kimmy schmidt - style screwball comedy –some humour . “there’s a lot of hope and humanity , ” dickens insists , before adding in a deadpan voice , “hopefully people don’t watch it and go , ‘that was a bit of a downer . ’”
the idea for the five - part thriller , which airs on the now web - only bbc3 , came from the londoner’s fascination with what happens once survivors are out of the public eye . “there are so many of those real - life horror stories of people who are taken , and i do think people are traditionally more interested in what happened wherever they were kept , ” dickens explains . “but i just thought : what happens to these women – and it does tend to be women – after the press is out of their face ? how do they begin to return to real life ? ”

watching thirteen women i wonder what merle oberon must have thought . she lived in real life what myrna loy ' s character was experiencing in the film . it was only after she died that it came out that merle was of mixed racial origin . she successfully passed her entire life . loy who was in fact caucasian until she became the incarnation of the perfect wife and mother played a whole lot of these exotic characters . she borrows a bit from her performance as fu manchu ' s daughter in playing a woman who is exacting terrible revenge on members of a sorority at a finishing school who discovered her background and used it to get her expelled . it was her ticket into the white world and respectability as she saw it . using c . henry gordon as a phony swami she has unpleasant horoscopes made against her thirteen enemies . loy doesn ' t want to just kill them , she wants to torment them and uses gordon as her means . loy wants maximum satisfaction . in the case of irene dunne who she sees as her chief enemy loy also has plans for dunne ' s child as well . a whole lot of women dominate this film as the sisters like kay johnson , jill esmond , florence eldridge and more . ricardo cortez plays the police sergeant who tracks down loy and edward pawley plays another of the men she uses in her fiendish schemes . as this was a before the code film , there was some frank talk about racism under the guise of snobbery . no doubt that dunne and the rest were guilty of it . it drove loy off the deep end and she enacts a terrible vengeance . a really good before the code film that should be better known .
in the first half of the nineteenth century , families in the northern united states increasingly participated in the cash economy created by the market revolution . the first stirrings of industrialization shifted work away from the home . these changes transformed americans’ notions of what constituted work , and therefore shifted what it meant to be an american woman and an american man . as americans encountered more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the ability to remove women and children from work determined a family’s class status . this ideal , of course , ignored the reality of women’s work at home and was possible for only the wealthy . the market revolution therefore not only transformed the economy , it changed the nature of the american family . as the market revolution thrust workers into new systems of production , it redefined gender roles . the market integrated families into a new cash economy . as americans purchased more goods in stores and produced fewer at home , the purity of the domestic sphere—the idealized realm of women and children—increasingly signified a family’s class status .
it’s the most contemporary project that barnard has been involved with in a while , and slightly jarring to see him using an iphone and offering up predictions on the future of tv . he reckons that true crime hits like making a murderer have had an effect on what audiences want from scripted drama . “we’ve had so many period dramas and all the rest of it . we want to watch real situations happen in the now , ” he says , citing thirteen as an example of what he sees as a larger trend .
i ' ve been a fan of the otherworld series ever since i picked up bitten and fell in love with the hot , complicated and largely dysfunctional romance between clay danvers and elena michaels . over the years , i have liked some stories more than others . some had better narrators , others had a stronger story arc , and yet others appealed more to the romance lover in me . but these last two otherworld books took the series to an entirely different level . thirteen was everything i wanted . . . everything i n

never dwells or reimagines her sexual trauma ; it is dealt early on in the single throwaway line : “yes , there was weird sex stuff in the bunker . ” in fact , all these narratives focus not on the immediate experience of victimhood , but ultimately on survival . the singular experience these women share is not that they are kidnapped , but that they escape .

, kidnapped women are a very specific staple of the patriarchal canon . when we view the girl suffering at the hands of her abuser , the male gaze functions in a specific voyeuristic way : the straight male viewer can both , on one level , distance himself from ( and condemn the actions of ) the abuser , pitying his victim whilst simultaneously enjoying the on - screen depiction of transgressive sexual fantasies .
the revolution reverberated across the country . more and more farmers grew crops for profit , not self - sufficiency . vast factories and cities arose in the north . enormous fortunes materialized . a new middle class ballooned . and as more men and women worked in the cash economy , they were freed from the bound dependence of servitude . but there were costs to this revolution . as northern textile factories boomed , the demand for southern cotton swelled , and american slavery accelerated . northern subsistence farmers became laborers bound to the whims of markets and bosses . the market revolution sparked explosive economic growth and new personal wealth , but it also created a growing lower class of property - less workers and a series of devastating depressions , called “panics . ” many americans labored for low wages and became trapped in endless cycles of poverty . some workers , often immigrant women , worked thirteen hours a day , six days a week . others labored in slavery . massive northern textile mills turned southern cotton into cheap cloth . and although northern states washed their hands of slavery , their factories fueled the demand for slave - grown southern cotton and their banks provided the financing that ensured the profitability and continued existence of the american slave system . and so , as the economy advanced , the market revolution wrenched the united states in new directions as it became a nation of free labor and slavery , of wealth and inequality , and of endless promise and untold perils .
just as children were expected to be sheltered from the adult world of work , american culture expected men and women to assume distinct gender roles as they prepared for marriage and family life . an ideology of “separate spheres” set the public realm—the world of economic production and political life—apart as a male domain , and the world of consumers and domestic life as a female one . ( even non - working women labored by shopping for the household , producing food and clothing , cleaning , educating children , and performing similar activities . but these were considered “domestic” because they did not bring money into the household , although they too were essential to the household’s economic viability . ) while reality muddied the ideal , the divide between a private , female world of home , and a public , male world of business defined american gender hierarchy .
f marnie dickens crossed paths with tina fey , she reckons they would have a laugh about their differing approaches to writing about kidnap and survival . “i’d be like , ‘your show looks more fun to write , ’” the emerging screenwriter quips . while dickens has a playful nature that extends from her frequent witticisms to her bright blue nails , her debut drama is essentially the antithesis of unbreakable kimmy schmidt , fey’s offbeat comedy about a twentysomething cult escapee . don’t expect a weepy life - affirmer like lenny abrahamson’s oscar - nominated room , neither ; thirteen also subverts traditional abduction tales , but it’s a more adrenaline - charged offering .
these images are each taken from a different film , novel , or tv show . but they’re all variations on the same story . a girl suddenly disappeared . she was just a child , or perhaps a teenager . she vanished from the face of the earth so completely that even her own family have resigned themselves to never seeing her again , and never knowing why . she’s been missing for five , thirteen , fifteen years , alive and imprisoned all the while in a suburban cellar or basement or shed . and then , as suddenly as she disappeared , she is miraculously reinserted into her old life : once lost , now found .

the story is , at best , preposterous . a group of women , all former members of a literary club at a prestigious girls’ school , receive mysterious letters from a swami yogadachi . the letters foretell some terrible event that will occur to each within the next few weeks . and sure enough , it does–at least to the first few . one commits suicide . another starves to death . a third murders her cheating husband in front of his entire office .
education equipped young women with the tools to live sophisticated , genteel lives . after sixteen - year - old elizabeth davis left home in 1816 to attend school , her father explained that the experience would “lay a foundation for your future character & respectability . ” 34 after touring the united states in the 1830s , alexis de tocqueville praised the independence granted to the young american woman , who had “the great scene of the world…open to her” and whose education prepared her to exercise both reason and moral sense . 35 middling young women also utilized their education to take positions as school teachers in the expanding common school system . bristol academy in tauten , maine , for instance , advertised “instruction…in the art of teaching” for female pupils . 36 in 1825 , nancy denison left concord academy with references indicating that she was “qualified to teach with success and profit” and “very cheerfully recommend [ ed ] ” for “that very responsible employment . ” 37
thirteen white women who all went to school together are marked for death by a half - caste woman that they were cruel to as kids . irene dunne plays the lead , an early precursor to the final girl from slasher movies made decades later . myrna loy as the killer is the principal reason to watch . she was cast as asian or half - asian a lot in early films . here , whatever they ' ve done to her makeup - wise works because she ' s stunning . ricardo cortez plays the detective investigating the case . it ' s nice to see an actual police detective be smart and not bumbling or corrupt . notable as the only film of peg entwistle , a young actress who infamously committed suicide by jumping off of the hollywood sign . one of the earliest movies with a female ensemble . the racial subject matter is also pretty frank for the time . i mentioned slasher films before . well , structurally this one is very similar so , in a sense , it ' s one of the earliest examples of what would become that subgenre . it ' s a very interesting movie with some good performances , clever direction , and bonus historical value .
