Hollywood, \u003c/em>Quentin Tarantino's florid, sun-bleached, la-la land fantasia, would be a groovy trip of a movie in any era. But only now, with virtually the entire industry consumed by Disney's circle-of-life pop-cultural recycling algorithm—a vast, unsympathetic intelligence more larcenous and self-referential than 1,000 Tarantinos working in round-the-clock shifts—does it look like an essential one. \u003cem>Pulp Fiction, \u003c/em>Tarantino's sophomore feature, hit with such seismic force 25 years ago that pleading its \u003cem>unimportance\u003c/em> became a stubborn pre-Reddit subreddit of film criticism even as imitations proliferated. Now, QT is one of only a fistful of filmmakers who can still get studios to commit substantial resources ($90 million this time) to original screenplays. And lest his new film's conspicuous meditations on aging—and on the disappearing border between the big and small screens—elude you, he's just about done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tarantino's ninth and, he says, penultimate picture is a languid Rosencrantz and Guildenstern-ing of the 1969 murders of Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring and three others by members of the Manson cult, told mostly from the point of view of Tate's fictitious next-door neighbor.

It might sound mundane, but this particular ball of dung is carrying a tuft of fur from the runaway lion Simba, and its eventual discovery will renew hope that the rightful king of the savanna is alive and well.

But that wouldn't have suited Disney's game plan: to produce an essentially risk-free remake of the 1994 animated film that remains one of its all-time greatest hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TavVZMewpY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Hamlet\u003c/em>-inspired plot is nearly identical to the original.

(The soundtrack also includes a new Beyoncé song, called \"Spirit.\") The crucial difference is that, instead of the original's gorgeous hand-drawn visuals, the new movie looks and feels like live-action, an illusion achieved through a sophisticated mix of digital imagery and virtual-reality techniques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result plays like a Hollywood blockbuster disguised as a \u003cem>National Geographic\u003c/em> documentary, or perhaps the world's most expensive safari-themed karaoke video. The movie feels both overwhelmed by its technical virtuosity and shackled by its fidelity to the source material. It begins with a nearly shot-for-shot re-creation of the first film's famous opening sequence: The sun rises over the landscape; the lush, soaring melody of \"Circle of Life\" rings out; and some very persuasive-looking elephants, zebras, giraffes and other critters gather to celebrate the birth of Simba, an adorable little cub destined to succeed his father, Mufasa, as king of the Pride Lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As shot by the cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, it's a majestic, if redundant, sequence, a sign that we've seen this all before. Then the familiar plot kicks in, the characters start talking and singing, and your sense of wonderment may turn to confusion. The animals' lips may match their dialogue, but there's next to nothing going on behind the eyes: Who knew photo-realistic lions were this bad at emoting? You can't fault the actors: \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/18/742981841/james-earl-jones-returns-as-mufasa-in-lion-king-remake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Earl Jones\u003c/a>, who voiced Mufasa in the earlier film, reprises that role here with his signature gravity. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/28/699060631/chiwetel-ejiofors-directing-debut-takes-him-to-malawi-to-capture-the-wind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiwetel Ejiofor \u003c/a>strikes the right note of menace as Mufasa's brother Scar, who plots to kill both father and son by luring the unsuspecting Simba down into a gorge, placing him directly in the path of a wildebeest stampede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within minutes, Mufasa is dead and a heartbroken Simba is on the run, leaving Scar and his vicious hyena allies to take over the savanna. At this point, the movie shifts abruptly into zany comedy mode, as Simba befriends the amiably loud-mouthed duo of Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. They're voiced by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/12/12/505245220/billy-eichner-makes-a-career-out-of-love-hating-celebrity-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billy Eichner \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93092905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seth Rogen\u003c/a>, and their energetic banter and their performance of that classic slacker anthem \"Hakuna Matata\"—it means \"no worries\"—give the story an undeniable lift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laughing at this movie is a lot easier than taking it seriously. Soon the grown-up Simba, now voiced by Donald Glover, is reunited with his childhood friend Nala, played by Beyoncé. But when they launch into \"Can You Feel the Love Tonight,\" not even the actors' lovely voices can bring these lions' dead-eyed come-hither expressions to life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=civgUOommC8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've never been the biggest fan of the original \u003cem>Lion King,\u003c/em> which beneath its brightly entertaining surface has always struck me as too emotionally calculated by half.

It might sound mundane, but this particular ball of dung is carrying a tuft of fur from the runaway lion Simba, and its eventual discovery will renew hope that the rightful king of the savanna is alive and well.

So are Elton John's memorable songs and Tim Rice's less memorable lyrics, this time sung by a solid voice cast that includes \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/11/01/500225189/donald-glover-challenges-stereotypes-about-rappers-in-atlanta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Glover\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/03/07/591457135/john-oliver-finds-humor-in-the-news-no-one-wants-to-hear-about\">John Oliver \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/19230778/beyonce\">Beyoncé\u003c/a>. (The soundtrack also includes a new Beyoncé song, called \"Spirit.\") The crucial difference is that, instead of the original's gorgeous hand-drawn visuals, the new movie looks and feels like live-action, an illusion achieved through a sophisticated mix of digital imagery and virtual-reality techniques.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result plays like a Hollywood blockbuster disguised as a \u003cem>National Geographic\u003c/em> documentary, or perhaps the world's most expensive safari-themed karaoke video. The movie feels both overwhelmed by its technical virtuosity and shackled by its fidelity to the source material. It begins with a nearly shot-for-shot re-creation of the first film's famous opening sequence: The sun rises over the landscape; the lush, soaring melody of \"Circle of Life\" rings out; and some very persuasive-looking elephants, zebras, giraffes and other critters gather to celebrate the birth of Simba, an adorable little cub destined to succeed his father, Mufasa, as king of the Pride Lands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As shot by the cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, it's a majestic, if redundant, sequence, a sign that we've seen this all before. Then the familiar plot kicks in, the characters start talking and singing, and your sense of wonderment may turn to confusion. The animals' lips may match their dialogue, but there's next to nothing going on behind the eyes: Who knew photo-realistic lions were this bad at emoting? You can't fault the actors: \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/07/18/742981841/james-earl-jones-returns-as-mufasa-in-lion-king-remake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">James Earl Jones\u003c/a>, who voiced Mufasa in the earlier film, reprises that role here with his signature gravity. And \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/02/28/699060631/chiwetel-ejiofors-directing-debut-takes-him-to-malawi-to-capture-the-wind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chiwetel Ejiofor \u003c/a>strikes the right note of menace as Mufasa's brother Scar, who plots to kill both father and son by luring the unsuspecting Simba down into a gorge, placing him directly in the path of a wildebeest stampede.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within minutes, Mufasa is dead and a heartbroken Simba is on the run, leaving Scar and his vicious hyena allies to take over the savanna. At this point, the movie shifts abruptly into zany comedy mode, as Simba befriends the amiably loud-mouthed duo of Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. They're voiced by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/12/12/505245220/billy-eichner-makes-a-career-out-of-love-hating-celebrity-culture\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Billy Eichner \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93092905\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seth Rogen\u003c/a>, and their energetic banter and their performance of that classic slacker anthem \"Hakuna Matata\"—it means \"no worries\"—give the story an undeniable lift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laughing at this movie is a lot easier than taking it seriously. Soon the grown-up Simba, now voiced by Donald Glover, is reunited with his childhood friend Nala, played by Beyoncé. But when they launch into \"Can You Feel the Love Tonight,\" not even the actors' lovely voices can bring these lions' dead-eyed come-hither expressions to life.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/civgUOommC8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/civgUOommC8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>I've never been the biggest fan of the original \u003cem>Lion King,\u003c/em> which beneath its brightly entertaining surface has always struck me as too emotionally calculated by half.

So that was pretty great, right? The animation so expressive, so imaginative, so dynamic, so fluid? And the vocal performance, by noted non-singer Jeremy Irons, remains just as show-stopping as ever, for one very specific reason: It's such a pure expression of the character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Irons' Scar was theatrically sly, performatively unctuous, luxuriously fey. He reveled in his haughtiness, his condescending wit, his sneering contempt for those lesser than he. He not only embraced his status as Other, he wore it like a Bob Mackie gown. He was, in other words, not merely villainous, nor anything so mundane as simply evil. No, he was more fun than that: He was \u003cem>wicked\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, there's a long cinematic tradition of talk-singing in musical comedies. Rex Harrison and Richard Harris famously barked and yipped their way through \u003cem>My Fair Lady\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Camelot\u003c/em>, respectively. It's an effective technique, and Irons could have contented himself to follow in those footsteps. Instead, he chose to impregnate every verse of \"Be Prepared\" with all the layers of characterization he was bringing to the rest of his performance. You hear it in every lyric—the sly playfulness, the sudden rage, the smug self-satisfaction, the abject delight Scar is taking in his own skullduggery. It's why Irons' \"Be Prepared\" became, and remains, indelible, even iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut to 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing you gotta know is that there were rumors that the new film had cut \"Be Prepared\" to make room for new (and thus, Oscar-eligible) songs. I, for one,\u003ca href=\"http://click.et.npr.org/?qs=35be6f6dee4907ef53f9e1aaf11e3695ac30f20bb87106bc054f376f44b2db39450ef690859d92dae79861b198682cd2e0ad932d588e758b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> was prepared to storm whatever barricades necessary in protest\u003c/a>, and I was not alone. Turns out, they didn't cut it. It's still in the movie ... sort of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they \u003cem>did \u003c/em>do was \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLQ6SRH90s4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut it down\u003c/a>. \u003cem>Waaaay \u003c/em>down. From nine verses to four, from three minutes to just over one. The new orchestration is almost unrecognizable: Scar's backup hyenas no longer join in with that lusty, insistent \"Hummmm / hummmmm / Hummmmm\" you feel in your chest—they instead chant \"Be prepared / Be prepared / Be prepared\" in 4/4 march time; it's what it would sound like if the Boy Scouts imposed martial law.

So that was pretty great, right? The animation so expressive, so imaginative, so dynamic, so fluid? And the vocal performance, by noted non-singer Jeremy Irons, remains just as show-stopping as ever, for one very specific reason: It's such a pure expression of the character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Irons' Scar was theatrically sly, performatively unctuous, luxuriously fey. He reveled in his haughtiness, his condescending wit, his sneering contempt for those lesser than he. He not only embraced his status as Other, he wore it like a Bob Mackie gown. He was, in other words, not merely villainous, nor anything so mundane as simply evil. No, he was more fun than that: He was \u003cem>wicked\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, there's a long cinematic tradition of talk-singing in musical comedies. Rex Harrison and Richard Harris famously barked and yipped their way through \u003cem>My Fair Lady\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Camelot\u003c/em>, respectively. It's an effective technique, and Irons could have contented himself to follow in those footsteps. Instead, he chose to impregnate every verse of \"Be Prepared\" with all the layers of characterization he was bringing to the rest of his performance. You hear it in every lyric—the sly playfulness, the sudden rage, the smug self-satisfaction, the abject delight Scar is taking in his own skullduggery. It's why Irons' \"Be Prepared\" became, and remains, indelible, even iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut to 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first thing you gotta know is that there were rumors that the new film had cut \"Be Prepared\" to make room for new (and thus, Oscar-eligible) songs. I, for one,\u003ca href=\"http://click.et.npr.org/?qs=35be6f6dee4907ef53f9e1aaf11e3695ac30f20bb87106bc054f376f44b2db39450ef690859d92dae79861b198682cd2e0ad932d588e758b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> was prepared to storm whatever barricades necessary in protest\u003c/a>, and I was not alone.

Its existence has allowed pole dancing the relatively new luxury of being seen as a legitimate skill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That skill is something that Nicki knows firsthand. \"The women I've had the pleasure of working with over the years are all incredible,\" she says. \"This job can make you feel invincible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amanda Ortiz echoes the sentiment. After getting a job on the front desk at fitness center \u003ca href=\"https://sfpoleanddance.com/\">San Francisco Pole and Dance\u003c/a> a year ago, Ortiz, a PhD. student, fell in love with pole dancing. \"It was during a rough time in my life and I saw the effects pole dancing had on women and men of all backgrounds,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ortiz estimates that everyone who tries a class leaves with much more respect for those who dance professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is probably some of the hardest work ever,\" she says, \"and the best teachers are always current or former strippers. Everyone here is funny, kind and encouraging. I do think that the stigma is reducing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw-kllxaNAI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still others have mixed feelings about pole dancing going mainstream. Alexis Brooks danced in strip clubs for 13 years, stopping only after the combination of sky-high heels and a slippery tile floor at work caused her to break an ankle. She says that pole dancing on a sporting stage can give people unrealistic expectations: \"People have to realize that nine times out of ten, they aren't going to see that level of pole dancing at the club. We don't have trainers and hours to perfect our moves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is happy, however, to see more variety in popular depictions of pole dancing. \"Traditionally, we're seen as either super glamorous and raking in the dough, or at rock bottom,\" she says. \"The reality is somewhere in between.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardi B's NSFW \"Money\" video, then, might be the closest that mainstream culture has come to accurate commentary on the lives of pole dancers. In it, she honors her own past working in strip clubs—a job she says \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzfcNl-o9bI\">saved her\u003c/a> from a \"boyfriend who was beating my ass\"—presenting it as serious work with major financial benefits. \"People want me to be so full of shame that I used to dance,\" Cardi \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/01/how-cardi-b-went-from-stripper-to-star\">told \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2017. \"I learned a lot. I would never be ashamed of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUOh09GoQgk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the shift in the public perception of pole dancing has been most visible in music videos. While early on, artists like like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg used pole dancing as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZXc39hT8t4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">means for objectification\u003c/a>, within a decade it was socially acceptable enough for the decidedly non-edgy Enrique Iglesias to include in his video for \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHJAUuicC0Q\">Dirty Dancer\u003c/a>.\" In 2013, Bruno Mars put pole dancing at the center of a love triangle in the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHDtXqjgEj4\">Gorilla\u003c/a>\" video, and, a year later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk1ZO_980DI\">Ne-Yo\u003c/a> put dancers in mundane, everyday settings as a suggestion that it was something even middle-aged housewives and mousey librarians could enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came Rihanna and Beyoncé including poles in their respective videos for \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehcVomMexkY\">Pour It Up\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ12_E5R3qc\">Partition\u003c/a>,\" and ideas shifted about just who pole dancing was for. Their reframing of pole dancing, from entertainment for men to empowerment for women, not only opened doors for Cardi B but others—FKA Twigs recently used it to literally elevate her contemporary artistry to new, trippy heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLjqFpBh84&t=111s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reality TV, too, has done a lot to normalize pole dancing. HBO's \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_String_Divas\">\u003cem>G String Divas\u003c/em>\u003c/a> started to de-stigmatize the job back in 2000, and today, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD-VzLfHZXQ\">\u003cem>Beyond The Pole\u003c/em>\u003c/a> shows the every day lives of professional dancers in Atlanta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's \u003cem>Keeping Up With The Kardashians \u003c/em>that did the most to take pole dancing mainstream. When 2007's Season 1 first showed a pole in Kris and Bruce's bedroom, it seemed risqué and over-the-top.

Alexis Brooks danced in strip clubs for 13 years, stopping only after the combination of sky-high heels and a slippery tile floor at work caused her to break an ankle. She says that pole dancing on a sporting stage can give people unrealistic expectations: \"People have to realize that nine times out of ten, they aren't going to see that level of pole dancing at the club. We don't have trainers and hours to perfect our moves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks is happy, however, to see more variety in popular depictions of pole dancing. \"Traditionally, we're seen as either super glamorous and raking in the dough, or at rock bottom,\" she says. \"The reality is somewhere in between.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardi B's NSFW \"Money\" video, then, might be the closest that mainstream culture has come to accurate commentary on the lives of pole dancers. In it, she honors her own past working in strip clubs—a job she says \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzfcNl-o9bI\">saved her\u003c/a> from a \"boyfriend who was beating my ass\"—presenting it as serious work with major financial benefits. \"People want me to be so full of shame that I used to dance,\" Cardi \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/01/how-cardi-b-went-from-stripper-to-star\">told \u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2017. \"I learned a lot.

While early on, artists like like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg used pole dancing as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZXc39hT8t4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">means for objectification\u003c/a>, within a decade it was socially acceptable enough for the decidedly non-edgy Enrique Iglesias to include in his video for \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHJAUuicC0Q\">Dirty Dancer\u003c/a>.\" In 2013, Bruno Mars put pole dancing at the center of a love triangle in the \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHDtXqjgEj4\">Gorilla\u003c/a>\" video, and, a year later, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk1ZO_980DI\">Ne-Yo\u003c/a> put dancers in mundane, everyday settings as a suggestion that it was something even middle-aged housewives and mousey librarians could enjoy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then came Rihanna and Beyoncé including poles in their respective videos for \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehcVomMexkY\">Pour It Up\u003c/a>\" and \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ12_E5R3qc\">Partition\u003c/a>,\" and ideas shifted about just who pole dancing was for. Their reframing of pole dancing, from entertainment for men to empowerment for women, not only opened doors for Cardi B but others—FKA Twigs recently used it to literally elevate her contemporary artistry to new, trippy heights.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/YkLjqFpBh84'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/YkLjqFpBh84'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Reality TV, too, has done a lot to normalize pole dancing.
