Documentaire > Super-héros : l'éternel combat (1/3)

Vérité, justice et modèle américain

Réalisation: Michael Kantor - 53mn

En juin 1938,

Superman fait sa première apparition

dans la revue Action comics.

D'abord cantonné

aux pages des journaux généralistes,

le héros imaginé par les dessinateurs

Jerry Siegel et Joe Shuster

connaît d'emblée un immense succès

et définit les codes

d'un nouveau genre de la bande dessinée :

les comics, qui s'imposent bientôt

comme le mètre étalon

de l'industrie de la BD aux États-Unis.

Une aubaine,

dans l'Amérique de la Grande Dépression,

pour une nouvelle génération de dessinateurs,

fils d'immigrés juifs

des ghettos de New York pour la plupart,

qui imaginent ces nouveaux personnages

dotés de superpouvoirs.

En 1939,

Bob Kane crée Batman

avant que Joe Simon et Jack Kirby

ne donnent vie au très patriotique

Captain America en 1941,

au moment où les États-Unis

entrent en guerre avec le Japon.

Les super-héros deviennent alors

un instrument de propagande

au service de l'effort de guerre:

Captain America étend Hitler

d'un direct du droit en couverture

et Wonderwoman exalte

le rôle des femmes américaines

à l'arrière du front.

À la sortie du second conflit mondial,

l'Amérique et ses super-héros

sont au zénith de leur puissance.

Mais en dépit de cette aura,

justiciers et vengeurs masqués s'attirent bientôt

les foudres des parlementaires mccarthystes

et des puritains les plus fervents.

Leurs aventures jugées trop violentes

font l'objet d'une censure

de la Comics code authority,

à laquelle l'industrie se pliera

jusque dans les années 1980,

et qui conduira parfois même à des autodafés

de plusieurs centaines d'exemplaires.

Mais l'escalade de la Guerre froide

et la peur de la menace nucléaire

vont permettre aux super-héros de réaffirmer

leur rôle de défenseurs du modèle américain

et à l'industrie des comics de connaître

un nouvel âge d'or à partir des années 1960.

Hérauts de l'oncle Sam

Au moyen d'interviews

d'historiens de la bande dessinée

et de témoignages

des plus célèbres dessinateurs de comics,

Michael Kantor retrace les évolutions d'une industrie

dont les héros accompagnent depuis leur création

les soubresauts de l'histoire des États-Unis.

Autant de personnages devenus

des mythes de la culture populaire outre Atlantique,

et dont le documentariste se sert ici

comme de miroirs pour mettre en lumière

les mutations de la société américaine

depuis les années 1930.

Un film éclairant sur le rôle joué

par ces hérauts de l'American way of life

et de la superpuissance de l'Oncle Sam,

qui ont fait des comics

une industrie multimilliardaire

diffusée dans le monde entier.

I'm a Black Cowboy. This is My Story. The New York Times 5 August 2020

I'm a Black Cowboy. This is My Story. Video Op-Docs The New York Times 5 August 2020

Cowboys are among the most iconic figures of the American West.

They’re mythologized as strong, independent people

who live and die by their own terms on the frontier.

And in movies, the people who play them are mostly white.

But as with many elements of Americana,

the idea of who cowboys are is actually whitewashed

— scholars estimate that in the pioneer era,

one in four cowboys were black.

The historian Quintard Taylor writes about how before then,

enslaved people

"were part of the expansion of the livestock industry

into colonial South Carolina,

passing their herding skills down through the generations

and steadily across the Gulf Coast states to Texas."

In Dillon Hayes's "All I Have to Offer You Is Me,"

we meet Larry Callies,

who comes from a long line of cowboys. Growing up in Texas,

Callies dreamed of becoming like Charley Pride,

the first African-American inductee in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

As with the cowboy, there’s an assumption of who makes up country music,

despite its diverse history.

The breakthrough of artists like Lil Nas X, Jimmie Allen and Kane Brown

has returned attention to the contributions of black artists to the genre.

Callies’s journey shows what we lose

when we don’t acknowledge the full breadth of history.

USA > Ellis Island

Between 1892 and 1954,

more than twelve million immigrants

passed through

the U.S. immigration portal at Ellis Island,

enshrining it

as an icon of America's welcome.

That story is well known.

But Ellis was also a place

of detainment and deportation,

an often-heartbreaking counterpoint

to the joy and relief of coming to America.

People around the world

watched and listened

the ladder of the lunar lander.

Then, he stepped

on the moon's surface

where he could look up

and see Earth far above him.

There he said these well-known words,

"That's one small step for a man,

Documentaire

Ellis Island, une histoire du rêve américain

(105 min, réalisé par Réalisation: Michaël Prazan)

En 1892,

Ellis Island, dans la baie de New York,

devient la principale

porte d’entrée aux États-Unis

pour les immigrants qui arrivent

de plus en plus nombreux d’Europe.

Inauguré en 1900,

après un incendie

qui a ravagé les anciens bâtiments,

l’immense centre

aujourd’hui transformé en musée

va voir passer, jusqu’à sa fermeture,

quelque 12 millions de personnes.

Parmi elles, l’actrice Pola Negri

ou le producteur de cinéma Sam Goldwyn,

venus de Pologne,

l’écrivain tchèque George Voskovec,

le gamin sicilien Salvatore Lucania,

qui deviendra le chef suprême de la mafia

sous le nom de Lucky Luciano,

l’Irlandais William O'Dwyer,

futur maire de New York...

Comme les autres,

ils ont traversé l'Atlantique

pour fuir une existence misérable,

persécutée ou incertaine en Europe,

vers une nouvelle Terre promise

qui ne les accueille

pas toujours à bras ouverts.

En tirant les fils

de ces quelques destinées exemplaires,

qui font écho à d’autres voix anonymes,

ce documentaire montre combien,

face aux drames européens

de la première moitié du XXe siècle,

l’Amérique fut ambivalente.

Mais il explique aussi pourquoi

ces parias irlandais, juifs et italiens

brocardés par les xénophobes

vont renouveler et incarner le " rêve américain ".

Des archives, souvent poignantes,

tissent avec fluidité les souvenirs des émigrants

et la parole des historiens pour un voyage passionnant

dans la mémoire complexe du melting-pot américain.

Inside Llewyn Davis by Coen Brothers - Official Trailer

Video StudiocanalUK 29 August 2013

Grand Prix at Cannes 2013,

New Coen's film Inside Llewyn Davis

follows a week in the life of a young musician

as he navigates the Greenwich Village folk scene of 1961.

Llewyn (Oscar Isaac) is at a crossroads.

With his guitar in tow,

he is struggling to make it

as a musician against seemingly insurmountable obstacles,

some of them of his own making.

Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers,

Llewyn's misadventures

take him from the basket houses of the Village

to an empty Chicago club,

on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman.
