from all movie.com Aired in numerous formats for over four decades, New York underground filmmaker Ken Jacobs' assemblage of 16 mm fictional footage, public service announcements, and snippets of Hollywood films didn't achieve mainstream critical acknowledgement until 2003, when the New York and London Film Festivals premiered its definitive, six-hour version. Star Spangled to Death is an abstract, political-philosophical treatise on the contradictions of life in America in the latter half of the 20th century, using excerpts from other films and news footage to touch upon issues of race, religion, and warfare. In the filmed material that punctuates the "found" footage, two characters referred to only as The Spirit Not of Life but of Living (Jack Smith) and Suffering (Jerry Sims) share conflicting views on day-to-day existence. — Michael Hastings intruiging stuff... thanks for the tip tolstoyed |

ohh, i was searching the web, but couldn't find any decent reviews... i'd love to see it released on dvd tho, it could be a bit tough to sit in the cinema for over 6 hours |

||||||||

six and a half apperantly...they showed it in two parts in our cinema, with 1 hour break i think. dvd would sure come in handy |

i just meant the 6 hours i kinda like crazy stuff like that i went to a play that lasted 11 hours, the other day i was disappointed reading in the paper the playing time was only 5, though (breaks, food and stuff had to be consumed) |

|
omg, 11 hours of being focused...were at least seats comfortable? :) |
||||||||

it wasnt really hard. maybe also because it was a play; it still was harder on the actors. the beginning and the end was a bit hard to follow, for me. the play was on the history of the family tanthalus. greek mythology that is. (thantalus torture, some troy, sex, war and stuff) |
||||||||
|

|
|
must have been tough for the actors to remember the script for the whole 11 hours :) |
||||||||
|

yeah, i dont understand how they do that in shorter plays as well, actually. also they had all of these different roles a few times they did have to hear a word from that guy that does that (?), but it was a try-out, so i got a reduction for it. as a matter of fact i didnt pay at all. |
