“Winter’s Bone” is as serious as a snakebite, with a plot that seems tight enough to fit on the label of a package of chew. Sixteen-year-old Ree Dolly lives deep in the Ozarks, where she looks after her two younger brothers and her crazy mother, a woman who mostly sits on a chair in a kind of feline catatonia. Ree’s father is a methamphetamine cook who jumped bail after putting the family’s house up as collateral. Ree has a week to find Dad before the county repossesses the place. Woodrell’s seven previous novels, featuring a population scraped from the underbelly of Arkansas citizenry — even the children are often grotesqueries — arrive from a genre you might want to call “hillbilly noir.” In “Winter’s Bone,” he has hit upon the character of a lifetime. Young Ree Dolly allows Woodrell to glide this novel seamlessly from violence to innocence. Winter's Bone - Faced with an unresponsive mother and a criminal father, Ozark teenager Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence) does what she can to manage the.

Winter's Bone is a 2010 American drama film directed by Debra Granik, and adapted by Granik and Anne Rosellini from the 2006 novel of the same name by Daniel Woodrell. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenage girl in the rural Ozarks of Missouri who, to protect her family from eviction, must locate her missing. Winter's Bone: A Novel. Ree Dolly's father has skipped bail on charges that he ran a crystal meth lab, and the Dollys will lose their house if he doesn't show up for. WINTER'S BONE by Debra Granik Anne Rosellini Based on the novel WINTER'S BONE By Daniel Woodrell. Opening montage Wide shot. She is hard-boiled. She is harsh. She can be sweet. She knows her way around firearms. She has a clinical compassion for her crazy mother. Ree nurtures her two preadolescent brothers by teaching them how to shoot and skin squirrels. She herself can withstand a brutal beating as well as any doe-eyed heroine of a Japanese underground comic book. Here’s a bit of one of Woodrell’s fight scenes: “Ree swung a fist at those blunt teeth in a red mouth but missed. The other women closed in with boots to the shins while more heavy whacks landed and Ree felt her joints unglue, become loose, and she was draining somehow, draining to the dirt, while black wings flying angles crossed her mind, and there were the mutters of beasts uncaged from women and she was sunk to a moaning place, kicked into silence.” Photo. Daniel Woodrell Credit Bruce Carr Ree’s home is more than just the house, it is her clan, the Dollys — her uncles with names like Thump Milton and Uncle Teardrop, outlaws who cook crank as their daddies brewed moonshine before them. All the Dollys are intimate with violence: “One night when Ree was still a bantling Dad had gotten crossways with Buster Leroy Dolly and been shot in the chest. He was electric on crank, thrilled to have been shot, and instead of driving to a doctor he drove 30 miles to. The Tiny Spot Tavern to show his assembled buddies the glamorous bullet hole and the blood bubbling.” “Winter’s Bone” is structured like a Philip Marlowe story in which, for each clue the dick digs up, he returns to his office to mull things over with a shot of scotch. Ree walks or drives or is driven into the snowy rural landscape on mostly red-herring dead ends. She then returns to her house and remaining family to unwind from various sorts of traumatic violence and ponder her next move while listening to tinny New Age tapes with titles like “Alpine Dusk” and “The Sounds of Tranquil Streams.” Woodrell’s Ozarks are rendered in a kind of ramshackle, beautific realism. This novel begins, for example, with a striking image of meat hanging from trees: “Ree Dolly stood at break of day on her cold front steps and smelled coming flurries and saw meat. Meat hung from trees across the creek. The carcasses hung pale of flesh with a fatty gleam from low limbs of saplings in the side yards. Three halt haggard houses formed a kneeling rank on the far creekside and each had two or more skinned torsos dangling by rope from sagged limbs, venison left to the weather for two nights and three days so the early blossoming of decay might round the flavor, sweeten that meat to the bone.” There are also Inuit-like descriptions of snow. “Frosty wet began to fall, not as flakes nor rain but as tiny white wads that burst as drops landing and froze a sudden glaze atop the snow.” Ree herself is described as “brunette and 16, with milk skin and abrupt green eyes. She stood tall in combat boots, scarce at the waist but plenty through the arms and shoulders, a body made for loping after needs.” The whole Ozark milieu is rendered so completely and expertly that Woodrell should consider changing the settings of his future novels, just as Cormac McCarthy gave up Tennessee for Mexico. Woodrell has brilliantly played out the hillbilly landscape — its weather, its wilderness, its lack of culture and its primitive tongue: grated Parmesan is “sprinkle cheese,” given names are “front names” and sanity is described as a condition in which one’s “parts are gathered.” His Old Testament prose and blunt vision have a chilly timelessness that suggests this novel will speak to readers as long as there are readers, and as long as violence is practiced more often than hope or language.

Sebastian Mlynarski/Roadside Attractions hide caption toggle caption Sebastian Mlynarski/Roadside Attractions Set in the Ozarks, in a small community where illegal methamphetamine trade flourishes in a devastated economy, Winter's Bone follows the travails of Ree Dolly, a 17-year-old girl who spends the length of the film trudging through the bleak chill of southwestern Missouri in its darkest season, with the trees black spikes and hills bleached silver and rust. Ree's father, a meth cooker, has gone missing while out on bail, but not before putting the house his three children live in up as collateral against his bond. To save her family from homelessness, Ree must find her father, and to do that, she navigates a harrowing underground where blood ties offer no protection from the drug trade's brutality. As part of our 'On Location' series, which looks at movies in which a sense of place is so strong as to almost be a character, we wondered how the filmmakers managed to capture the cold desperation of the Ozarks well enough that the film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture. Their success, as it turns out, was largely due to one local man. Jennifer Lawrence (center) plays the 17-year-old big sister who teaches her siblings, including Ashlee Thompson (left), how to shoot guns in Winter's Bone. Director Debra Granik says this was a difficult day on the set because she grew up in an urban setting and has a different relationship with firearms than people in the Ozarks. 'The idea that people can imbue children with a very great respect for something was something that moved me,' the director says. Sebastian Mlynarski hide caption toggle caption Sebastian Mlynarski.

Sebastian Mlynarski 'The fate of this film was tied to a local fixer, if you will, or guide,' Debra Granik, the director of Winter's Bone, told All Things Considered last year. 'His name is Richard Michael, and he sort of paved the way for us to make it happen.' Michael lives in Taneyville, Mo., near where the movie was shot. 'I'm a bus driver, boat captain and a pretty good liar,' he says, though all that happens to be true. Michael's sister works for the Missouri film commission, and she called him to see if he could help some New Yorkers who were trying to adapt the novel Winter's Bone, by Daniel Woodrell. 'I did feel like I was sometimes the translator between hillbilly and New York,' Michael says. Credit: By permission, Roadside Attractions He helped the filmmakers interpret a world where people split wood to keep warm, hunt for food rather than sport, and where meth-related arrests are regular news. But Michael says the filmmakers were quick to understand the area's beauty. 'The landscape here in the Ozarks, there's something special about it. It just becomes part of who you are,' he says. When Michael started working on Winter's Bone, the movie was still two years away from filming. He began by finding locations — ponds, caves, burned-out buildings that really were former meth labs. He also found the home Ree Dolly fights so hard to keep. In real life, the hand-built house belongs to a man named Frank Layson, and it's rich in visual details. 'Frank is a recycler, you might say,' Michael says. 'He wouldn't let anything go to waste, and so there were a lot of things there that he had used or would use down the road. Anything from old school buses for storage to old mobile homes that were gonna be recycled for metal.' Layson's 6-year-old granddaughter was always around during shooting, and the filmmakers ended up casting her as one of Ree's two younger siblings. Little Ashlee Thompson was a natural; Michaels says she's the most realistic part of a scene that's still embarrassing to him, where the kids shoot and skin a squirrel. 'I always said they butchered the butchering scene,' he says. Actress Jennifer Lawrence, playing Ree, almost lost her nerve when she had to teach her on-screen brother how to disembowel the poor squirrel. You can tell by watching Ashlee, the local girl playing their sister. 'You look at her face, and she's actually in disbelief at their inability to skin a squirrel.' Michael went from finding places to shoot to finding props: chain saws, rusty old trucks, Christmas lights, even the coarse burlap bag covering Ree's head in one climactic scene where she learns her father's fate. 'The prop department came up to me and said, 'We gotta have a burlap sack. Where in the world can we find a burlap sack?' I said, 'Oh, over at the mall in Branson they have a store, Bags 'R' Us.' Can you give us the phone number?' I'm pulling their leg — that's what we do,' Michael says with a chuckle. 'Anyway, they were swallowing that hook, line and sinker. I said, 'I've got a burlap sack for you. ' The Ozarks landscape mapped in Winter's Bone is cultural too, with lots of banjo playing. 'Everybody said, 'You can't have a banjo in a movie about the Ozarks. Not since Deliverance. You know you just can't,' ' Michael recalls. But local musicians who appeared in the film and on the soundtrack disagreed. One of them,, spent this past summer touring as part of Blackberry Winter, the Winter's Bone band. Sisco says seeing her part of the world come alive on film was deeply meaningful, 'because I know that the Ozarks Highlands are underlain by the St. Francis Range, which is one of the oldest on Earth, so what you have is a very thin skin of soil and trees and stuff on top of this mass of granite and limestone.' Hardscrabble country, she says, that shapes the bodies and lines of the faces of the people who live there. People wary of outsiders until they get to know them. Outsiders are probably rare in the shabby roughneck bar where Richard Michael makes his single appearance in Winter's Bone. He's an extra in a scene where Ree and her uncle try to gather information. She comes in cautious and waits, right next to Michael. 'There's me standing there in black stocking cap and brown coveralls, and props comes over and sticks a cigarette behind my ear,' Michael says. 'I got a big bushy black beard.' That's how you'll know him if you ever visit Taney County. Michaels says you're invited: He runs a boat for tourists on Lake Taneycomo, near Branson, Mo. That's a good place to visit, he says, best in spring or autumn. As for winter in the poorest part of the country? The movie might be as close as you'd want to get.

An adventure quest, the book had serious themes: about cultural clashes, attitudes towards religion, and cross-cultural friendships; the nature of loyalty and courage. Then it was turned into a simple-minded gore-fest B-film appealing to 16-25 year old males.

But my husband had not seen “The 13th Warrior”, so we sat down to watch it the other day and I realized I had a copy of “Eaters of the Dead” somewhere, that was patiently waiting for me to get around to it No time like the present! This book is a fictionalized account of (actual historical figure) Ibn Fadlan, an emissary of the Calif of Baghdad, sent on a diplomatic mission in northern Europe, and enlisted more or less against his will in an adventure to rid a Viking village of a mysterious an terrifying enemy. He travels with Buliwyf and eleven other seasoned Viking warriors to the kingdom of King Hrothgar, where they are told that the Wendol have been attacking the village and eating the flesh of their victims. The style of this book is not exactly breezy, but what Crichton did was to try and imitate the style of the 10th century travelogues. Ibn Fadlan is an absolute outsider: he doesn’t speak the Northmen’s language (he communicates with them in Latin, with the help of Herger, one of the warriors who speaks that language fluently), he can’t really get over their women’s behavior, or the culture’s rather particular views on cleanliness. But the record of his observations and adventures give the world an early version of the legend of Beowulf except, historically plausible. Crichton took off with the idea that all myth have a core of veracity somewhere, and that centuries of embellishments by bards, troubadour and so on have left us with only fanciful stories that don’t seem all that believable. The tone might turn some readers off: it is written in a very old-fashioned style, so it’s often repetitive, but it’s filled with great descriptions and interesting footnotes meant to help the reader interpret this translation of an ancient text. I personally found it fascinating, just like discovering an ancient manuscript that gives you a glimpse of a world long gone. If Chrichton had tried to stretch this out any longer, it would have been ponderous and annoying, but at about 200 pages, its perfectly constructed to be a diverting and surprisingly informative read! Let me preface this review by saying Eaters of the Dead is not fantasy. It seems often shelved by people as fantasy, but it is not. There are some fantasy 'themes' eg the story is based on Beowulf, and that is all. A whiff of potential fantasy that is no more than a whiff. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, although I think it should nearly be classed as a novella. That is what I regard it as.

The movie The Thirteenth Warrior is a favourite of mine and I was pleased to see it did not drift too far from the book. There are some differences, but for the most part, they run very close to each other. Ibn Fadlan is a fun head to be in and it was his narration that made this book unique for me. I have to give the book 5 stars. There was really nothing I didn't like. I'd been wanting to read this book ever since I found out the movie The 13th Warrior was based on it. I'm a fan of historical fiction and thought this would be right up my alley. It was a decent read, shorter than I expected and better than the movie.

The full name of this 1976 novel was Eaters of the Dead: The Manuscript of Ibn Fadlan Relating His Experiences with the Northmen in AD 922. After being made into a movie under the title, The 13th Warrior, the book was republished for a time under that name. The book is basically told as a edited translation of the account written by Ibn Fadlan, a Persian ambassador conscripted by a group of Vikings (probably from Sweden) as the 13th warrior in a hero's quest to save a northern kingdom from a group of 'mist monsters' called 'wendol,' a group of vicious savages, perhaps surviving Neanderthals, who wear bear skins in battle. After battling with the wendol (probably based, in part, on Grendel), they must fight Grendel's mother: I was somewhat disappointed by the lethargic lulls and the story's underdevelopment. On the other hand, the action sequences were quite thrilling. As usual, Crichton's research was impeccable and provided an education on the Vikings and a more modernized account of Beowulf. If you enjoyed Beowulf or you're a Viking connoisseur, you should like this. Very well done if you understand Crichton's purpose., I think that the confusion with this book arises from the fact that people don't understand what Crichton accomplished.

This is a retelling of Beowulf, in a first person, narrative, entertaining form. The narrator, Ibn Fadlan, is an actual Muslim writer from the 10th century. The first 3 chapters of this book are actually from his original narrative. Crichton then moves from there in to the fictional portion, using Fadlan as a first hand observer of the events surrounding the Beowulf story. Considering how dreadful Beowulf was (admittedly mainly due to barriers of time, language and perception of what is entertaining), Crichton has accomplished a very difficult task. He has rewritten a very long, very boring epic and made it concise, easy to digest and entertaining. I hated Beowulf; I found it to be dreadful, boring and longwinded. This is a wonderful retelling of the story. I highly recommend that any lover of historical fiction read this book. If you are a fan of Crichton's more mainstream work (i.e. Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, etc.) you may want to read a few more reviews and see if you can find a snippet of this story online as it is completely different from his other works. The closest novel of Crichton's that I could compare this to would be Timeline and even that is a stretch because Timeline involved Sci-Fi type elements where this is strictly a narrative from the 10th century. I heartily enjoyed this and was only put off by the ending which just ended. Seriously, be prepared because there is no ending. The book just stops and moves on with an appendix, a historical note and a bibliography. That was a bit annoying. I don't remember if Beowulf did the same. Still, very well done, very entertaining and very good historical fiction.

() Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Genus: Species: M. apiaster Merops apiaster, Distribution of the Merops apiaster The European bee-eater ( Merops apiaster) is a in the. The genus name Merops is for 'bee-eater', and apiaster is, also meaning 'bee-eater', from apis, 'bee'. It breeds in southern Europe and in parts of north Africa and western Asia. It is strongly, wintering in tropical Africa. This species occurs as a spring overshoot north of its range, with occasional breeding in northwest Europe. Contents • • • • • • • • Description [ ] This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly coloured, slender bird. It has brown and yellow upper parts, whilst the wings are green and the beak is black. It can reach a length of 27–29 cm (10.6–11.4 in), including the two elongated central tail feathers. Sexes are alike. Female tends to have greener rather than gold feathers on shoulders. Non-breeding plumage is much duller and with a blue-green back and no elongated central tail feathers. Juvenile resembles a non-breeding adult, but with less variation in the feather colours. Adults begin to moult in June or July and complete the process by August or September. There is a further moult into breeding plumage in winter in Africa. Feeding bee-eater—the female (in front) waits for the male's offering This bird breeds in open country in warmer climates. As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat, especially,, and. They catch insects in flight, in sorties from an open perch. Before eating a bee, the European bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface. It can eat around 250 bees a day. [ ] The most important prey item in their diet is, mostly. A study in Spain found that these comprise 69.4% to 82% of the European bee-eaters' diet. Their impact on bee populations, however, is small. They eat less than 1% of the worker bees in areas where they live. A study found that European bee-eaters 'convert food to body weight more efficiently if they are fed a mixture of bees and than if they eat only bees or only dragonflies.' Behaviour [ ] These bee-eaters are gregarious—nesting in sandy banks, preferably near river shores, usually at the beginning of May. They make a relatively long tunnel, in which they lay five to eight spherical white eggs around the beginning of June. Both male and female care for the eggs, which they brood for about three weeks. They also feed and roost communally. During courtship, the male feeds large items to the female while eating the small ones himself. Most males are monogamous, but occasional bigamy has been encountered. Their typical call is a distinctive, mellow, liquid and burry prreee or prruup. Reported UK breeding attempts [ ]. Eggs of Merops apiaster European bee-eaters have attempted to nest in Britain on at least 5 occasions: [ ] • In 1920, a pair tried to nest in a sand bank of the at,. A local gardener captured the female and kept her in a. She died two days later, after laying a single. • In 1955, three pairs of bee-eaters nested in near. The birds were first found on 12 June, though the birds' presence only became widely known at the start of August. One nest was accidentally destroyed by machinery in July, but seven young fledged from the two remaining nests towards the end of August. The instigated a wardening operation, and over 1,000 people visited the site. The birds remained until 24 September. • A pair nested at, in 2002. The birds were first found on 2 June, and within a few days started to undertake and copulation. Five chicks hatched, but one died in the nest, one died before fledging, and a third disappeared and probably died. (with RSPB assistance) set up a wardening post when the birds were nesting. They released news to, and the national news media also reported on the birds' presence. Around 15,000 people visited the site during their stay. The adults and both fledged young left on 28 August, flying off high to the south. • A pair took up residence on farmland adjacent to the, near, in summer 2005. By mid-July, the adults began bringing insect food to the riverbank nest-hole, confirming that eggs had hatched. The RSPB began a wardening operation with public access. Around 2,000 people came to see the birds. However, on the evening of 29 July, predated the nest, and the birds soon left. • A pair excavated a nest hole at a coastal site in in 2006, but failed. • in 2014, two pairs nested in the, one nest fledged 3 chicks, the other 5.

Then, in James May at the Edge of Space, he flies in a U-2 spy plane at 70,000 feet above Earth: “Without blagging a ride on the space shuttle, that’s as high as anyone can go,” he says. “You get a sense of the smallness of the world, and the fact that it is very obviously round from up there.” The programmes will, he hopes, put an end to every pub bore’s favourite conspiracy: that the Moon landing was faked, the footage of Armstrong shot in the Nevada desert. “It would have been more difficult to fake it than do it,” he says. “Because as one astronaut says [in an interview with May], you can’t tell a secret to your neighbour without the whole word knowing – so the idea that 400,000 people [the number involved, in one way or another, in the Apollo XI launch] could have taken part in a conspiracy of silence is preposterous.” The above statement is an almost definitively May-ish sentence.

Stream James May at the Edge of Space online free. James May at the Edge of Space is a British documentary in which television presenter James May came close to. How can the answer be improved? Although May is talking at 9.30pm after a long day’s filming, he sounds as placid as if he were sipping mango juice in a hammock. Indeed, it is hard to imagine him flying into a fury about anything. “Jeremy called me an emotional stone once,” he says. “Which I thought was funny, although I’m not quite sure what he meant.” He lives in London with his girlfriend; he “couldn’t say” whether they’ll marry or have children (“Sorry to be vague”). May was born in Bristol; after studying music at university he became a motoring journalist (in 1992 he was fired from the magazine Autocar after hiding a mildly rude message in the body of its text). He started co-hosting Top Gear in 1999, and has been writing for the Telegraph’s Motoring section for six years. Top Gear, which coincidentally returns this Sunday, has had its budget “trimmed quite a bit” because of the credit crunch, May says, although in typically equable fashion he suggests that the tighter constraints “may stimulate us better. “The downside is, though,” he adds, “we have never wasted money on anything glamorous – we don’t have clothes budgets. Well, you can tell that by watching us. So if the money’s cut, it’s cut from the programme – it’s not being cut from my ice-cream demand.” It was recently reported that all BBC presenters earning £100,000 or more faced severe pay cuts. I ask May if that would affect him. No,” he says, after what sounds like a rare uncomfortable pause. “Despite some of the stories that have gone around, I’ve never had a big flouncey strop about how much I’m paid. Considering I have a pretty interesting life out of making telly, I’m really paid quite well for it. So I’m not complaining.” James May on the Moon is on Sunday on BBC Two at 9.00pm; James May at the Edge of Space follows on BBC Four at 10.00pm. Top Gear is on Sunday on BBC Two at 8.00pm.

The crew are under obligation to investigate and the spaceship descends on the moon afterwards. After a rough landing, three crew members leave the spaceship to explore the area on the moon. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a distress call. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew realizes that they are not alone on the spaceship and they must deal with the consequences.

Her mate is killed by a rival pride looking to expand its territory, leaving Ma di Tau to protect her three cubs and find a new home. 'Till today she had only time to focus on escape and survival, but now she must find a way to get her cubs safely through their first critical year until they can fend for themselves. As a single mother, this will take every ounce of her energy and intelligence.' 'The Last Lions' Documentary Traces Botswana Lioness, Her Cubs Defying long-held beliefs about lions, Ma di Tau takes her brood across the water to an island in the Okavango Delta as she searches for safety and food. The married filmmaking team of Beverly and Dereck Joubert follows the lioness to chronicle her struggle. 'It is interesting as a film because it is not all fun and laughter all the way through,' explains Joubert. 'So we felt as though everybody enjoyed the journey of the lioness: the pain and the happiness as well, all in one.' Film maker Dereck Joubert Director, writer and cinematographer Dereck Joubert says they spent more than four years and used skills honed over three decades of wildlife filmmaking in Africa to capture these breathtaking close-up scenes of life and death in the delta. 'We tried very, very hard to show an intimacy, not just between ourselves and the subject, but within the subject and whoever she interacts with,' he explains. 'So we have to do the time. We just have to be there.' 'As Dereck said, time is important and an immense amount of patience and, of course, we have to be living the life of those lions in many ways,' adds co-producer and photographer Beverly Joubert. Filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert She says the 18-hour daily filming schedule was determined by the lions, which were not the only challenges to recording the story. 'Because these lions are wading through water, crossing channels and swimming, following the buffalo, we actually have to do the same to get the unusual footage,' explains Beverly.

Ma di Tau, star of The Last Lions movie, is built to kill, but she faces a gauntlet of enemies — buffalo, hyenas. 'And at times our hearts are in our throats, I can tell you, because it is the unknown. Once or twice we did have tragic moments. The one that comes to mind and was not so long ago was that we drowned the vehicle. 'We literally submerged our vehicle with all the camera gear, $2 million worth of camera gear,' she recalls, 'and it was a very tense time. Once we managed to dive and get the cameras and throw them on top of the roof of the car, Dereck had to swim the river. This is a river we had been filming crocodiles. So at times it is tense and at times we know we're are in a dangerous situation, but that's what it takes to be able to capture the footage.' The dramatic story of this lioness in Botswana represents the plight of all Africa's big cats. In the 1960's, the continent's lion population was estimated at almost half-a-million. Today they are only 20,000 in the wild due to hunting, poaching and humans swallowing up their habitat. Dereck and Beverly Joubert worry that the film's title, 'The Last Lions,' could be prophetic. Scene from 'The Last Lions' 'The problem that lions have is that they are these great, iconic animals and everybody thinks somebody is taking care of them,' notes Dereck. 'In our lifetime, having seen them go from 450,000 down to 20,000, we know that these things will be extinct within 10 or 15 years. So this is not just a local problem, not just a South African or Botswana problem. This is a global issue. I also think that as filmmakers the time has come and gone where we can just document these things and say our job is done. What we are doing is using whatever skills we have to become a voice and we are hoping that people see our film and celebrate these lions and then get involved with lion conservation.' 'This film is saying we cherish and we respect and let's be responsible to try and preserve what we do have, because if we lose them we are actually damaging our own world and I think we do have to inspire people through moving them emotionally to care before we can take the action,' Joubert says. 'Her cubs' survival is a hard taskmaster for her and despite the searing heat and humidity she forces herself up again back onto the path of the buffalo. She seems to understand that the herd will provide if she can just crack that code.' The Last Lions is part of the 'Big Cats Initiative' launched by Beverly and Dereck Joubert and National Geographic to raise public awareness about the threats to these remarkable creatures.

A scene from “The Last Lions.” Credit Beverly Joubert/National Geographic Entertainment One of the most urgent and certainly among the most beautifully shot documentaries to hit the big screen in recent memory, “The Last Lions” isn’t just another cute and fuzzy encounter session with a different species. It’s a pulse-quickening, tear-duct milking and outrageously dramatized story about the threats — wildfires, chomping teeth, stampeding hooves and, worst of all, unseen humans — that face a female lion trying to protect her cubs. Here, single motherhood doesn’t mean juggling family, work and PTA meetings: it means parking the tots in the bushes and then trying to take down a water buffalo the size of a jeep. Alas, the movie’s title is horrifyingly accurate. Conservation groups tend to put the current population of African lions at roughly between 20,000 and 50,000, a staggering decline from the estimated 400,000 that were born and roamed free a half-century ago. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, a global network of environmental groups, has classified lions as vulnerable and indicates that their numbers are only declining. Their future looks grim, even hopeless. (In Kenya, home to Elsa of the popular 1966 movie wild lions might be wiped out within one to two decades.) All this makes a well-intentioned movie like “The Last Lions,” from the husband and wife filmmaking team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, necessary viewing. It’s perhaps because the stakes are so high for lions — and also maybe because, Al Gore notwithstanding, environmental bad news is as hard a sell at the movies as it is off screen — that the Jouberts decided to personalize this story of survival. Steering clear of the customary talking heads and dire statistics, which might chance audience indifference, they have instead created an empathetic, heart-heavy story about the burdens of parenthood, and hired Jeremy Irons — the voice of the in the Disney animation — to narrate. In other words, they went the route of the improbable hit about emperor penguins toughing it out in Antarctica that was reassuringly narrated by Morgan Freeman. It soon becomes eyeball-poppingly obvious, though, that the fairly peaceable kingdom of emperor penguins is worlds apart from the tooth-and-claw lives of lions. Forget the ice capades of those tuxedoed, natural-born comedians. Here, in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, just north of South Africa, carnivores battle one another in a drama far wilder and bloodier than any that Marlin Perkins delivered on television on Within the first 20 minutes of “The Last Lions” one adult lion dies in a ferocious on-screen fight, a battle capped with a shot of flies buzzing on a destroyed eye, and another becomes an off-screen snack for a crocodile. As television fodder like “When Animals Attack!” proves, death piques human interest in animals as much as “aww” images of do. Dereck and Beverly Joubert’s film focuses on one mother and her cubs to show the grim state of African lions. Credit Beverly Joubert/National Geographic Entertainment The central lion in the movie, called Ma di Tau (“mother of lions” in Setswana, a language of Botswana), certainly has an arresting, hard-luck story. First, her old man splits, and then she and her three little ones lose their home in a fire. With nowhere nearby to run to — the nasty people, I mean pride, next door limit her options — she and her cubs move into a marsh surrounded by crocodiles. Hard-wired territorial demands and fast-encroaching humans might be why the family has to move into such a bad neighborhood. But from the absurdly personalized narration purred by Mr. Irons — he describes how the story’s beleaguered heroine feels and what she knows — the relocation is just another episode in “As the Lions Turn.”. Advertisement It’s one thing to feel compassion for animals and to believe that they have emotions. At certain instances, rather entertainingly, Ma di Tau even seems to be remembering, via a series of flashbacks, moments out of her past. Yet turning animals into humanlike characters denies them their nature and, here at least, also makes for some deeply unpleasant and exploitative interludes. There’s a needlessly protracted sequence between the mother and a wounded cub that’s pure filmmaker sadism and that, in its cutting and framing, makes it seem as if the mother is consciously cruel rather than following her instincts. These techniques, along with the overwrought, heavily editorializing music, help build great narrative tension out of what often looks like separate documented moments in time. You might cry, but you also feel beaten up. “The Last Lions” is a worthy, intensive labor of love that took years to shoot and edit, and it’s also more gripping than a lot of recent Hollywood thrillers. Commendably, the Jouberts and National Geographic (its movie division is distributing the documentary) have also established the, an international conservation project to spread the word about endangered cats. Yet by sensationalizing and sentimentalizing a tale of animal life and death, by focusing on one lion family instead of the threats faced by a species, the Jouberts have risked reducing a real catastrophe into a tidy fiction. Then again, is the fault really theirs or of those who pay attention only when a tragedy looks like something they can relate to? An account for all the fans to see In Stereo's latest videos/updates!
