Robert F. Boyle, Hitchcock’s Art Director & Distinguised AFI Conservatory Lecturer, Dies at 100

2010-08-04 11:09 / 会员可以看

Bob Boyle passed away on Sunday, August 1, 2010. He was 100.

Boyle received an Honorable Academy Award in 2008 “in recognition of one of the great careers in art direction.” A pioneer in the AFI’s Production Design faculty since 1982, Bob Boyle entered the film profession in 1933. Seven years later, he began his long association with Alfred Hitchcock, designing such films as SABOTEUR, THE BIRDS and MARNIE. In 2000, AFI Conservatory alumnus Daniel Raim (PD ‘99) co-wrote and directed an Oscar-nominated documentary on Boyle’s work, entitled THE MAN ON LINCOLN’S NOSE–the original working title for a classic Hitchcock/Boyle collaboration, NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

AFI CEO Bob Gazzale said of Boyle, “Bob was one of the great men of American film – a legendary production designer who held the title of Distinguished Lecturer at AFI for nearly 30 years. But as was his gift in the movies – Bob created a world for those who knew him that lived and breathed far beyond what a title could ever tell us.”

AFI has set up a tribute web page for Robert Boyle here. The page includes video and an audio podcast.

A Poem

Published by the Washington Post

When we were the Sick Man of Asia , We were called The Yellow Peril.
When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are called The Threat.
When we closed our doors, you smuggled opium to open markets.
When we embrace Free Trade, You blame us for taking away your jobs.
When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your
fair share.
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet
you screamed, It Was an Invasion!
When we tried Communism, you hated us for being Communist.
When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being Capitalist.
When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.
When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.
When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts.
When we build our industries, you call us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.
When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide.
But when you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.
When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating
human rights.
When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech.
When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed- xenophobics.
Why do you hate us so much, we asked.
No, you answered, we don't hate you.
We don't hate you either,
But, do you understand us?
Of course we do, you said,
We have AFP, CNN and BBC's...
What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer...
Because you only get so many chances.
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.
We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth.
This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.

"Things aren't always what they seem"

2010-05-22 16:28 / 会员可以看

Keep reading to the bottom of the page -- don't
stop at the feet (You'll see).

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.

The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion's guest room.

Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.

When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.

After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.

Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have let this happen?

The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused.

The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die..

"Things aren't always what they seem," the older angel replied.

"When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.

Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it."

"Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife I gave him the cow instead.

Things aren't always what they seem."

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things  don't turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later....
