Extraordinary Tales (2013)
Having watched Crimson Peak last night, I needed something
else to help me focus on my final script project for my film writing class.
After some debate with the voices in my head, I decided to venture into the
mind of Edgar Allan Poe with the 2013 animated adaption Extraordinary Tales.
Plot/ The film is an animation-accompanied narration of some
excerpts of some of the short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe. The movie
contains: The Fall of the House of Usher, The Tell Tale Heart, The
Facts In the Case Of M. Valdemar, The Pit and The Pendulum, and The Masque of
the Red Death.
If you have read this blog, you should already know how I
feel about Edgar Allen Poe. Not only was he a genius who set the stage for
modern American horror, his influence on both the cinematic and literary
community may never truly be matched. Unfortunately, some of his popularity has
waned in recent years, as the rise of technology has reduced the amount of kids
interested in the classics. While this may not be a perfect adaptation, it is
an interesting journey into the mind of the master and some of his epic tales.
Complete with a diverse animation backdrop, the segments range from great (The
Pit & The Pendulum) to the uneven (The Tell-Tale Heart). Of course, the
opinions will vary because of the different styles used. What made this even
more intriguing is the group of actors used to bring it to life. Legends such
as Roger Corman, Sir Christopher Lee, and Bela Lugosi, were joined by Julian
Sands and Guillermo del Toro to create a movie that could easily serve as an
introduction to Poe for a new generation of fans. In the end, this one will not
be for everyone, but it is an entertaining journey into the macabre visions of
a literary genius.
DR WILLIAMS CURED 7 YEARS AUTISM
ReplyDeleteI am sharing this testimony for my daughter who suffered autism for 7 years. I am doing this, because I was her mother and caregiver during her dark days and am very happy to share it so that others can be helped through DR WILLIAMS HERBAL MEDICINE. It was a tough a battle for her; I was not actually the one who hard autism, but bearing the burden makes me understand what parents whose children and love with autism go through.
Lesia now 19 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of twelve, for seven years, she fought against her diagnosis. I must admit it was never easy for us as a family; we had to constantly watch her, and answer questions that we couldn’t explain. On several occasions, she asked if she will ever stop having speech delay and get well like her school mates and be the best swimmer she dreamt of becoming. She was a very happy child; and had a ‘normal’ childhood and there was no suggestion that she would later on develop autism.
She refused to accept defeat and fought autism. She religiously kept to her medications in spite of their side effects. We all wanted a cure, so that she can chase her dream and live a normal life like every other child. But the more she takes these medications, the more her school grade drop. She couldn’t concentrate and we noticed that her memory was being severely adversely affected. Each time we went back to the hospital, her medicines were changed to a different one. Seems like, each change of drug brings about change in side effects. After about 6 years on Abilify , Geodon , and other medicines, it seemed the autism started to increase in frequency. I had to make effort to reduce her medicines with plans to eventually stop it all. We found an alternative treatment in homeopathy, which was better than her English drugs. Gradually, I reduced her drugs, and her autism were no longer as frequent as it was as when she was on conventional drugs.
With our little breakthrough with homeopathy treatment, we made further search for natural cure. Fortunately we saw testimonies about herbal medicines which cure autism. We saw a lot of claims though, contacted them and didn’t get a useful reply. Lucky for us, we finally got a reply from Doctor Williams, he directed us to his blog where we saw a lot of information about his herbal medicine . Without further delay I made a purchase for her, I switched her over to it. We had great breakthrough, that in 3 weeks, her autism reduced. After 1 months as Doctor Williams promised , all autism symptoms stopped. It was like a miracle for us. since all this days now Lesia became autism free. Her story is quite lengthy, I hope it also help someone out there.for more information you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
