Salut, Capitaine, ô Capitaine ...
Hier, je n'avais pas les mots, j' étais bouche bée, plongé dans une crèche vivante et lumineuse ...
Antoine est un phare; ses yeux nous parlent; le moindre de ses rots nous console des discours creux ...
Zunie est épatée, Zia Mimi est enchantée ...
Ce petit bonhomme nous rend toutes et tous plus grands, plus forts, plus beaux !
1. Privilégiez les fruits et les légumes
Selon une étude scientifique à lire ici, une alimentation végétarienne serait moins coûteuse qu'une cuisine à base de viande. La viande est souvent ce qui pèse lourd dans votre addition au supermarché. Il vous suffira dés lors de la remplacer dans votre assiette par des légumes, féculents et/ou œufs riches en protéines. Par exemple, les lentilles et haricots noirs ont de nombreuses vertus et en plus ont une faible teneur en matières grasses.Pour qui aime les chats, il est un moment étrange tant de fois entraperçu :et toujours" inqualifiable" : le chat ( debout, assis, peu importe) remue légèrement la queue, l'air "de rien"... On peut deviner alors qu' il s'apprête à entrer, "en douce", dans un monde pour nous inconnu : celui du "chat paisible', couché, les yeux ouverts sur le monde, mais déjà dans le sien... Comme un humain qui dort, mort dirait-on mais sans peur, sans reproches, toujours et densément vivant. Le chat paisible, les yeux ouverts mais déjà "ailleurs" pourrait nous inviter à le suivre, mais à quoi bon... Il sait depuis longtemps que, sans agitation, l' humain cogite tout ce qu'il pourrait/devrait "faire"... Alors, de son monde, le chat peut poser sur nous un regard fugace, chargé d'une commisération tendre, et qui dit : " Si tu savais ...".
The book was published in England in 1898 but not published in the US until 1951.[4] Reviews were excellent.[5]
MGM bought the film rights and announced Stewart Granger as the star immediately. William Wright was originally going to produce.[6]
Then the job of producing went to John Houseman.[7] Houseman later recalled, "the novel was written back about 1890, was as successful as Treasure Island had been, and then was totally forgotten. The man [J. Meade Falkner] never wrote anything else. It was a grim story, a realistic adventure story about pirates and a little boy who accidentally got himself involved with them. There was no sex. But then we began to have fun with it, and embroider it."[8]
At one stage Merle Oberon was going to be the female lead.[9] Eventually Joan Greenwood was brought over from England.
In October 1953 the film was officially put on MGM's schedule.[10]
Filming took place in September 1954. "We are trying to make it one of the best of its type", said Houseman.[11]
Director Fritz Lang said the story "calls for mood, for atmosphere. The smugglers work in the dark, on hazy days. I plan to light my principals just as you would in a play, dropping shadows on the sides of the stage to concentrate on the main action and the players involved in it."[12]
The movie was shot almost entirely on the MGM backlot, augmented by a few shots of the California coast. During filming, James Dean visited the set; Stewart Granger said his manner was rude and dismissive.[13]
Houseman said, "I got along fine with Fritz Lang, even though we screamed and yelled at each other. But he was very anxious to make a picture at Metro, and he rather wanted to make a picture with me. On the whole, we managed to turn out something very much off the beaten track-and... we had a good time."[8]
Granger later said : "I hated working with Fritz Lang – he was a Kraut and it was a bloody awful film. I wanted to produce and act it in Cornwall and made them buy the book. MGM turned it into a big colour film. Moonfleet was not Lang's type of film – it is a romantic child's film. It wasn't a bad part."[14]
Houseman says one time during filming his associate producer, Jud Kinberg, "came down to the stage and heard this awful caterwauling. As he got near he heard: [German accent] "You are not a professional! We pay you a lot of money to be a professional actor, and it seems to me you are stupid, you are lazy, you are nothing at all...!" Jud came around the corner, and saw that the recipient of this was a little boy of eleven!"[8] The little boy being referred to was obviously Jon Whiteley, as he was the only boy actor in the film. But Jon was only nine years old during the filming and not eleven.
Houseman later said, "It ended up being rather a crazy type of picture – still much admired by European filmmakers – but, commercially, it was a disaster."[8]
The film was a critical and financial failure on release. According to MGM records the movie earned $567,000 in the US and Canada and $1,007,000 overseas. It made a loss of $1,203,000.[1]
