Capital One Arena. Courtesy Capital One.
The Verizon Center, a sports and entertainment arena originally known as the MCI Center, became the Capital One Arena on Aug. 9.
Monumental, which owns the Washington Wizards and the Washington Capitals, announced a $40-million investment in the facility. The Capital One Arena is also home to the Washington Mystics and the Georgetown University men's basketball team.
The one-million-square-foot arena runs along F Street from Sixth and Seventh Streets NW in Chinatown and opened in 1997 as the MCI Center, sparking an economic boom in the neighborhood. Verizon assumed the naming rights when the company acquired MCI.
In addition, Capitol One is acquiring retail property at Georgetown's most famous corner — Wisconsin Avenue and M Street — from Kevin Plank's Sagamore Development for a record $50.2 million. The 3150 M St. NW address was once home to the legendary Nathans Restaurant.
Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Capital One is completing its one-two-three punch to branding recognition by building a new building — to be the region's tallest — which will be anchored by a theater and a Wegmans grocery store. Capital One is a bank holding company that is the ninth-largest bank in the U.S. in terms of assets.
The Historical Society of Washington, D.C., announced that it will reopen in the Newseum on Sept. 19. The relocation is temporary, pending the completion of renovations to the Carnegie Library at Mount Vernon Square, expected to take about a year and a half. An Apple "global flagship" store will occupy the first floor of the library, built in 1903, with the Historical Society on the second floor. Though the Newseum charges an admission fee, the Historical Society will remain free.
The D.C. Public Library Foundation will celebrate Banned Books Week in September with a citywide banned-book scavenger hunt and "Uncensored Underground," a party at Dupont Underground. This year's theme is "Texts Against Tyranny." Hundreds of banned books will be hidden throughout D.C. Clues will be distributed on social media and elsewhere, so keep an eye out beginning Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Jamahri Sydnor, a recent Wilson High graduate died after being hit in crossfire.
A 17-year-old girl who was hit with a stray bullet Aug. 10 in Northeast D.C. died three days later, Fox 5 reported. Jamahri Sydnor was shot while driving in the 1400 block of Saratoga Avenue NE. A 21-year-old male was arrested the next day and charged with assault with intent to kill. Sydnor, who had just graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School, where she captained the cheerleading squad, was planning to attend Florida A&M University.
The design for a $441-million bridge over the Anacostia River was made public by Mayor Muriel Bowser. The new Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge will replace the nearly 70-year-old existing structure, also known as the South Capitol Street Bridge. Currently the largest construction project in D.C. history, the new bridge — meant to boost economic development on both sides of the river — is expected to open late in 2021.
A young teen was charged with attempted carjacking and assault with a dangerous weapon in Northwest D.C.'s Brightwood neighborhood, the Washington Post reported. Authorities said the 13-year-old boy and another individual tried to pull a woman out of her car around 7:15 p.m. Aug. 10 in the 6000 block of 13th Place NW. Two witnesses intervened and the boy tried to stab them with a knife. The woman was able to drive away.
Yelp cofounder and CEO Jeremy Stoppelman has signed a lease for new company offices in D.C. The expansion — to a 52,000-square-foot space next to Capital One Arena (have to get used to saying that) — will bring 500 new jobs to the District over the next five years, half of them targeting D.C. residents. The popular site for crowd-sourced reviews of local businesses, Yelp is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Scottsdale, New York, Chicago, London and Hamburg, Germany.

Hi, im coming to the end of the development of my reel and i was just wondering what the ideal or most popular resolution for the movie should be.
depends on the length of your reel. i like to make it as big as possible while remaining easy on the bandwidth. also if you make a reel that is annoyingly small, you are giving the impression that you are hiding things and is a dead giveaway if you are. there is no set size though.
well i was thinking of going for somthing around the size of DVD rez. Can anyone tell me the exzact rez for widescreen DVD's ?
Widescreen DVDs are the same resolution as Standard DVDs. 720x480 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL. The footage will look squished at that size, but when played back in 16x9 format it will regain the proper aspect ratio. Mind you, you'll need to set up the footage properly in your editing or DVD authoring program for this to work.
I would avoid 720p or 1080p as delivery formats at this time. Most computers aren't capable of playing back these formats and few people have HD/Blu-Ray players to play them on.
Not just setting up the aspect in your editing app, but you've got to make sure you render your scenes anamorphic (1.2 PAR) or else it will be stretched out to 16x9.
For my short I'm rendering everything 720, and then down rezing for distribution, that way I can have full rez HD, full rez DVD, and half rez webvid versions all off one source. Kind of future proofing if you will.

I had a wonderful Saturday morning with my daughter Gwen-Zoe and the Santa Clara Law School Environmental Law Society students at the Natural Bridges State Beach for the California Coastal Clean-up Day (September 17). In the picture above are Shelby Rogers, Devin, Jessica Atwood, Jojo Choi with dog Bobo, and Gwen-Zoe and me. Unfortunately, I have not gotten the group picture with all the participants yet, but the turn- out was great! Some 25-30 students from the ELS, my torts course, and friends. I will post that group picture when it becomes available to me. By my estimate, we must have collected more than 50 pounds of trash.

Q: How was the first Malbolge interpreter tested? According to Wikipedia, Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear.
If this is true, how was the first Malbolge interpreter tested (to check if it did the right thing when a Malbolge program was given)? Was it tested at all?

A: Tested against what?  Wikipedia notes that the official specification and the interpreter do not match precisely.  When you consider that the language was named after Dante's eight circle of Hell and designed to be needlessly complicated and difficult to use, it's likely that any such discrepancies are by design, which is kind of antithetical to the purposes of testing.

Trafalgar Pollster Signals Republican Voters Will Be Undercounted Again Ahead Of Midterms
Daily Wire
A top pollster signaled many deeply submerged Republican voters would be undercounted again in the weeks ahead of the 2022 Midterms Elections in November.
Robert Cahaly, founder and senior strategist and pollster of Trafalgar group, observed during the debut of Election Wire, a new weekly podcast from The Daily Wire scheduled to air every Sunday leading up to the elections next month, that with the upcoming election around the corner many Republican voters would be underestimated after legacy media talking heads and establishment politicians declared MAGA republicans "enemies of the state."
"These submerged voters aren't answering polls, they aren't putting stickers on their cars, or signs in their yard — they're not even posting on social media," Cahaly said. "They are underwater. They're not saying a word to anybody until election day."
Cahaly said voters shouldn't trust polls in the coming weeks, considering many pollsters failed to accurately predict the last three elections by highly favoring Democrats and undercounting Republicans.
"Polls have two purposes," he said. "They're either to reflect the electorate, or they're to affect the electorate — and too many of these media and university-based polls are designed to affect the electorate and are trying to create a false narrative quite often when there's not one."
With American skepticism of polling continually increasing due to false narratives forged by the pollsters, Cahaly said such groups have already begun to face the possibility of getting the next election cycle completely wrong again.
"And so now they're having to get back to reality because they don't mind at all being wrong, but they hate it when somebody is right," he said.
Next month, registered voters nationwide will line up at the polls to tip the political scale in one direction or another in several highly controversial races and issues. However, with several important critical elections in the House, Senate, and gubernatorial races, Democrat and Republican candidates and voters are both displaying optimism balance the power in Washington.
House Republicans have been boasting a red wave of confidence, believing they could take back the house if they can successfully secure five net seats to gain the majority.
Pennsylvania, a battleground state garnering most of the national attention, has Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz facing off against Lt. Governor Democrat John Fetterman for the state's open Senate seat.
With approximately $90 million already spent on the race, the race has shifted significantly since both candidates began campaigning. However, issues regarding Fetterman's health came into question after the candidate suffered from a stroke just before hitting the campaign trail.
Recent polling shows Oz gaining ground. A Morning Call and Muhlenberg College survey found that Oz trails Fetterman by five points. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, leads Republican State Sen. Doug Mastriano by 11 points in the gubernatorial race.
Election Wire, hosted by Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley and Senior Editor Cabot Phillips, launched Sunday in the lead-up to the midterm elections. The weekly podcast will feature reports from key battleground states, the latest news and polls, and a partnership with Trafalgar, the most accurate pollster from 2016 and 2020.


UKIP leadership frontrunner hospitalised after European Parliament fight | James Crisp. Freelance journalist in Brussels.
Steven Woolfe, the favourite to take over from Nigel Farage as leader of the UK Independence Party, was rushed to hospital today (6 October), after an alleged fight with fellow UKIP MEPs in the European Parliament.
Farage said Woolfe was in a "serious condition" following the altercation soon afterwards. But, as this piece was published it emerged he was sitting up in hospital and seemed to be fine. He will be kept overnight in hospital for bloodtests.
Woolfe was at a meeting of UKIP MEPs at 10AM at the European Parliament in Strasbourg when an argument broke out. The party is looking to replace Diane James as leader, who stepped down after just 18 days in charge.
The row was over Woolfe's recent admission he had held talks with the Conservative Party over defecting to the Tories, sources said.
Hookem allegedly followed Woolfe outside of the chamber and a fight, when both men threw punches, ensued.
Sources said that Woolfe banged his head on a wall or window before the altercation was broken up.
Woolfe went to a Parliament voting session as normal at noon. He left after 20 minutes before collapsing on a walkway inside the Parliament.
His collapse was captured by news TV cameras. Woolfe was rushed to the hospital. Early reports said he was suffering from bleeding on the brain, but there has been no scan undertaken yet.
There were unsubstantiated (and probably mischievous) reports on social media that Hookem, UKIP's defence spokesman, was on the run from French police.
But at the time of going to press, Strasbourg police had not yet begun investigating. A spokesman told EurActiv.com that that was just because there had been no complaint.
The police need a special mandate delivered by a judge to get inside the Parliament. A delegation of French police is stationed inside the Parliament, but did not immediately return calls.

A virtual reading, by Sylvia Townsend Warner, of her poem "Go the Long Way, the Long Way Home"
(From the Poetry Archive)
Sylvia Townsend Warner [1893-1978] is best known today as a groundbreaking feminist and lesbian writer who championed the cause of the outsider in novels such as Lolly Willowes. However, this is only one aspect of a writer whose literary career also encompassed poetry, short stories, essays, biography and translation. The publication by Carcanet in 2008 of a Collected Poems has prompted an overdue reassessment of Townsend Warner as a poet of great imaginative scope and variety.
Townsend Warner was born in Harrow-on-the-Hill where her father was a housemaster at Harrow School. They shared a close relationship and his early death brought her happy childhood to an end. By contrast, her relationship with her mother was always strained.
Her first love was music – only the outbreak of the First World War prevented her from studying composition with Schoenberg. Instead she moved to London and embarked on a decade-long task of scholarship, editing the 10 volume Tudor Church Music. She made friends among the 'Bright Young Things' of the 1920s one of whom, David Garrett, was instrumental in getting her first book published by Chatto and Windus, a poetry collection called The Espalier [1925].
However, it was the publication of Lolly Willowes the following year that brought her recognition on both sides of the Atlantic. 1926 was also a turning point for Townsend Warner personally when she met and fell in love with a young poet, Valentine Ackland. The couple lived together until Ackland's death in 1969. Their first home was in Chaldon Herring in Dorset where they were able to live in comparative freedom. For the rest of their lives the couple tended to seek out rural seclusion, in Norfolk and finally Dorset again. The English countryside, its beauty and hardships, is an important shaping force in Townsend Warner's work.
This relative isolation did not stop them from being actively engaged in issues of their time. Alarmed by the rise of Facism, Ackland and Townsend Warner both became active members of the Communist party and made several trips to Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Their lives at this time, and much of their writing, were charged with politics, such a Townsend Warner's 1938 novel After the Death of Don Juan.
In all, Townsend Warner published seven novels, four volumes of poetry and a huge number of short stories, 144 of which were published in The New Yorker. She wrote right up to her death, her last book of stories, Kingdoms of Elfin, appearing in 1977. Townsend Warner died on May Day 1978 and her ashes were interred, along with Valentine Ackland's, under a single stone in Chaldon churchyard.
Perhaps the most striking characteristic of Townsend Warner's writing is its sheer variety, not just in terms of genre, but also subject matter and approach. Her novels range widely across time and place, from revolutionary Paris [Summer Will Show], the South Sea Islands [Mr Fortune's Maggot], to a 14th century priory in East Anglia [The Corner that Held Them] while her poetry encompasses ballads, epitaphs, narrative, love poems and burlesque.
However certain themes thread through these contrasting works: what one critic has described as a "sardonic rural and suburban pastoralism" gives much of her writing a witty, subversive edge. Alongside an appreciation of the absurdist aspects of human behaviour is an empathy with the outsider - the misfits struggling to protect their individuality within an oppressive society.
Her poetry is also distinctive for its formal complexity, perhaps not surprising given her early immersion in music. Sometimes this musicality is combined with a tough realist edge, as in her hard-hitting poems about her experiences in Spain and the Second World War. Elsewhere, particularly in her love poems to Ackland, she captures an emotional intensity in which "the kindling of language and flesh seem one" [John Wilkinson, University of Notre Dame, Project Muse].
Another powerful theme is the onset of age, exemplified in her Archive recording, 'Gloriana Dying'. A dramatic monologue in flexible blank verse, it movingly imagines the aging Elizabeth I as she faces her impending death. Read by the elderly poet, it's deeply touching in its combination of physical vulnerability and toughness of spirit and mind. The poem ends with a remarkable acknowledgement that the great Gloriana now has more in common with the least of her subjects - the prisoner, the shepherd and the humble "long-dreaming country lad".
Townsend Warner once commented wryly "I intend to be a posthumous poet". The revival of interest in her poetry has encouraged a fresh appreciation of this aspect of a writer described by one critic as "second only to Virginia Woolf among the women writers of our century."

The Treehouse is listed with us by the managing agent Lavender Hill Holidays.
You can ask a question or make a booking request directly with Lavender Hill Holidays.
The pool is shared with another property but Treehouse guests have exclusive use in the afternoon.
As you climb the stairs to your front door (no rope ladder here, sorry) you will notice the ample terrace space where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine, whilst you watch the animals graze in the neighbouring fields. Entering the house you are greeted by a sophisticated octagonal living area decorated in chic creams and complimented by the various woods that adorn the treehouse. A shaker style kitchen with a beech work top is perfect for rustling up a meal, or if you don't want to cook, caterers can be organised to do all the hard work for you. The focal point of the room is the wood burning stove, where you can sit on the leather sofa, or chic armchairs, curl up with a book and get toasty.
After a long day, perhaps spent walking in the countryside, relax your muscles with a soothing dip in the hot tub, as the sun goes down and the stars begin to sparkle in the night sky. Then climb to the top floor, into the cosy, fairy lit bedroom, snuggle down under the cotton sheets and watch the leaves sway in the wind through the triangular skylight.
The Treehouse is very close to the West Somerset Railway, you may even hear the whistles of the steam trains from the comfort of the treehouse. For a great day out, get tickets and have a steam train ride, or even just pop to the station to admire the trains. The world famous Cheddar Gorge and caves are also within reach of the treehouse. Take a cliff top walk along the gorge and enjoy the awe inspiring views, or visit one of the caves for underground waterfalls, mirror pools, glimmering stalactites and the place where Britain's oldest skeleton was found. You are also close to the cosmopolitan city of Bristol and historic Bath, so you have plenty of options for shopping, eating and drinking. There are plenty of wonderful pubs located in the villages nearby, so be sure to take a walk, or a short drive to find your favourite.
We offer short breaks out of the main school holidays - we offer a three night weekend break from Friday to Monday or a four night mid week break Monday to Friday .
Low season from £595 for a short break and £845 for a week.
We do not offer single nights.


Content is key when it comes to enticing prospects. Instead of focusing on the original clicks, Nick Edouard, co-founder and president of LookBookHQ, suggests that marketers focus on content that leaves the user wanting more, according to the Content Marketing Institute. That cliffhanger, binge-worthy content is what marketers should seek out.
Prospects will move more than twice as fast through your sales cycle, and are more than twice as likely to buy, when users are awarded "binge-able" content after every click.
The most basic marketing approach uses a direct line to a single content offer. For example, a company could advertise a free e-book given the prospective consumer provides their contact information. The prospects clicks on the offer, fills out their information and the e-book is delivered to their email inbox. What's so wrong with that?
This content approach has several weaknesses, according to Edouard. First, the offer is often a dead end. After the conversion is completed, it's likely the consumer won't be directed towards anything else. Second, this content lacks customization. The standardized content leaves it without any personal touch for the consumer. Lastly, engagement with the content can't be measured. Marketers would have no idea if the individual even chose to open the e-book they sent.
While this straight-lined content may initially hook the consumer, it leaves no room for growth in terms of further engagement with the brand.
Alternatively, Edouard suggests dense, binge-worthy content that engages the end-user. He describes this content as a sort of "match-making" between the individual and the brand's content.
A set of content assets would be provided that consumers could potentially click on. These content assets can be manually created by the marketer or could be generated by machine learning softwares. The content would be forged based on previous buying habits, selected taste preferences and more. Instead of receiving just one e-book to your email inbox, a whole set of curated content would be provided. This is similar to the "Created for You" section that Netflix and other companies provide.

GIVEN WARM WELCOME
Hong Kong, Nov.17. A sizable force of Canadian infantrymen took up stations in this Far Eastern outpost today, "ready for anything that might occur."
The troops, under command of Brig. J. K. Lawson, arrived here early Sunday in a large transport, formerly a passenger liner, which was strongly escorted.
The populace of Hong Kong, particularly the Chinese colony, greeted news of the contingent's landing with jubilance.
The Canadians marched behind two military bands to specially outfitted barracks. They carried full equipment and fixed bayonets.
Brig. Lawson told correspondents that his men were from Manitoba and Quebec, and had been "Overseas once before in this war." While the contingent was made up largely of infantry, the command said "we have others things as well."
The troops will be under the higher command of Maj.-Gen. C. M. Maltby, commander of all troops in Hong Kong, and under the supreme Command of Air Chief Marshal Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, commander-in-chief for the Far East, with headquarters in Singapore.

Canadian Troops Reinforce British Hong Kong Garrison
Regiments from Quebec Province and Manitoba Arrive at Hong Kong, Prime Minister King Announces – Action Coincides with increased Tension Caused by Japanese Troops in Far Eastern Sections.
Ottawa, Nov. 17. Canadian soldiers are in Hong Kong, ready with other British forces to resist any assault on that great naval base off the China coast.
Safe arrival of the Canadian troops after an uneventful voyage was announced Saturday night by Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Sizes of the detachment and names of the units involved were not disclosed, for security reasons. It was not stated in Mr. King's statement but presumably the troops crossed the Pacific Ocean from Canada.
The Canadians, first to serve in the Orient since the end of the last war when some Dominion troops were at Vladivostok, are under command of Brig. J. K. Lawson, of London, Ont.
The brief Saturday statement quoted Mr. King as saying "defence against aggression, actual or threatened, in any part of the world is today a part of the defence of every country which still enjoys freedom. It is in accordance with this view that the Government have deemed it advisable to associate Canadian troops with those of the forces from other parts of the British Commonwealth now stationed in the Orient."
The reference to "aggression, actual of threatened," could only be interpreted as a reference to Japan whose international policies have given rise to fears that war may break out in the Pacific zone.
CANADIANS TO PLAY PART IN ORIENT SCENE
London Papers Believe Troops Will Be Despatched from Canada to Hong Kong and Singapore. By Russ Munro (Canadian Press War Correspondent)
London, Nov. 15. (? Cable)
The possibility of Canadian forces being sent to the Orient was raised today by the Daily Telegraph which said it was understood the Dominion was "planning to play a part in defending Hong Kong and other bases."
Observers in London, commenting upon the story which was a 100-word item on the front page headed "Canada's part in the Far East" said that if a Canadian force were chosen for defence of Imperial interests in the Orient it probably would be chosen from among troops in Canada, such as the 4th and 6th divisions rather than from the Canadian Corps in England.
The corps in Britain is doing a vital though unspectacular job in defence of the island and has been built up into a self-contained formation as complete as any army corps in the Empire. Three infantry divisions, a tank brigade and an armoured division will be knit together with the next few months as a gigantic fighting force and military observers believe there is little possibility at the moment that it will be decentralized by the dispatch of parts of it to other theatres of war.
Creation of this corps and its development has been a lengthy two-year task. The plan has been carried out in practically its entirety now and Lt.-Gen. A. G. L. McNaughton describes his force as a "danger pointed at the heart of Berlin."
The strategy of the corps is closely related to Britain's plans on the European front and its first action probably will be here in England repelling an invasion thrust or participating in the assault on the continent if and when Britain decides upon such a move.

Five Eastern Townships Men Captured By Japanese At Hong Kong Now Reported Safe
[Three photos are listed and titled as follows:]
MAJOR M. A. PARKER CAPT. E. E. DENISON CAPT. S. M. BANFILL
The names of five Canadian military personnel from the Eastern Townships who are now safe in Allied hands after being captured by the Japanese at the fall of Hong Kong on Christmas Day in 1941 were released by Defence Headquarters last night.
At Shamshuipo Camp, Kowloon, are:
Captain E. E. Dennison, Sherbrooke; Captain S. M. Banfill, East Angus; Major M.A. Parker, Sherbrooke, and Major W. A. Bishop, Bury.
Included in the second list containing the names of eight more Canadian military personnel safe after Japanese internment is: Rfmn. Henry Salter E3047, Gibbs Club, Sherbrooke. His next-of-kin is listed as Thomas Keeley.
Shamshuipo Camp, Kowloon, Sept. 6.
Canadian deaths from all causes at Hong Kong since hostilities began until last Friday totalled 419. It was announced in a statement issued by Lt.-Col. William Jas. Home, of Quebec, Commanding Officer of Canadian prisoners of war at this camp. Of this number 100 were killed in action, died of wounds or are missing and 120 died of sickness.
The figures for deaths by sickness referred to deaths occurring at Hong Kong only. Canadians at Hong Kong at the time the list was issued numbered 300. Others left for camps in Japan at various times, some as early as 1943, totaling 1184.
Col. Home was commanding officer of the Royal Rifles of Canada, from Quebec Province, which fought in the siege of Hong Kong in 1941. Other Canadian units were the Winnipeg Grenadiers and a headquarters company.
Col. Home's statement, issued last Friday, said: On our release from captivity after three years and eight months, the Canadian prisoners at Hong Kong send to their loved ones at home heartfelt greetings and hope for an early reunion. We can as yet hardly realize that we are free men again and have one thought – of returning to our homes as soon as possible. We are all equally anxious to receive news from our people as it is now a year or longer since most of us heard from them.
The majority of Canadian prisoners of war here may be said to be in fair condition of health and, according to medical advice, with good food and improved living conditions should soon return to a normal physical state. To the parents, wives and other dear ones of those who will not be returning with us, we send our deepest sympathy and condolences. It may perhaps help to alleviate the suffering of those parents, wives and other dear ones to know that their men-folk died here doing their duty (that Canada might live).
Here, in Hong Kong are 350 Canadians of all ranks. Those who left here on various drafts as early as January, 1943, and up to April, 1944, for we believe, Japan, number 1184.
One thousand nine hundred and seventy-four including two nursing sisters arrived here November 16, 1941.
The total Canadian deaths here from all causes from the opening of hostilities in December, 1941; until today (last Friday) number 419, made up of 290 killed in action, died of wounds or missing, and 120 died of sickness.
Vancouver, Sept. 6. Encouragement to families of Canadians now being released from Japanese prison camps was given today by Col. Dick Malone, director of Canadian Army Public Relations, in a broadcast from Radio Tokyo.
His report was picked up at a San Francisco listening post at the request of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and broadcast today over the corporation's Canadian network.
"You have heard stories of bad treatment in prison camps,: Malone said. "It is important the families of these men back home in Canada should not become alarmed and think that all our men are in bad condition.
The actual percentage of Canadians rescued to date which can be considered serious cases is very low. Only a dozen that I have seen so far were in serious need of hospitalization, and of those just five were bad cases. This is not to say their treatment was not severe, however."

RFMN. I. ALLEN REPORTED SAFE
Mr. and Mrs. John G. Allen, of Windsor Mills, have received a telegram from the Director of Records in Ottawa, advising them that their son, E29921 Rfmn. Irvin Allen, previously reported a prisoner of war in Japanese hands is now officially reported safe with the Allies.
Rfmn. Allen was born and educated in Windsor Mills, and was employed in the paper mills there before enlisting with the Royal Rifles. He was with the battalion when the garrison at Hong Kong fell into Japanese hands on Christmas Day 1941.

Carefully-Organized Underground Brought In Medical Supplies For Hong Kong Sick
By William Stewart C.P. War Correspondent. Manila, Sept. 15 (CP-Cable)
A carefully organized underground of which a large majority of the prisoners knew nothing functioned at Shamshuipo Camp in the Hong Kong area from the autumn of 1942 until the late spring of 1943, bringing in medical supplies urgently needed to combat sickness.
It also delivered to secret agents in China valuable information about conditions among the prisoners, some 340 of whom were Canadian.
When Japanese suspicions which resulted in six arrests and three executions forced the camp underground to break contact with outside agents, plans were being considered for a mass escape from Shamshuipo, aided by an Allied air raid on Hong Kong and a guerrilla rescue operation into the camp grounds.
Three Canadians officers and a Canadian non-commissioned officer were among the handful of men who took their lives in their hands to maintain the organization which at one time delivered information about Canadian prisoners to the Canadian envoy at Chungking.
However when the Japanese arrested three British officers, two British N.C.O.'s and Sgt. R.J. Routledge (sp?) of Regina and Forrest, Man., in July 1943, it was only because they chose to remain tight-lipped under torture that the [unreadable] Japanese [unreadable] gave us the scent, leading to the inner workings of the underground and its personnel.
A British Colonel who was on the staff of the China Command during the Hong Kong battle in 1941 died before a firing squad in December, 1943, for his part in the organization.
The Japanese also executed a British Captain who was an underground leader at Shamshuipo Camp and an R.A.F. Flight Lieutenant whose last warning to his companions was: "For God's sake don't bring anyone else into this."
The organization of carefully selected and most trustworthy prisoners started to build up slowly at Shamshuipo after September, 1942, when individual members of prison work parties, taken daily to Kai Tak airfield which was being extended, were furtively handed Chinese messages written on tiny sheets of paper.
These first messages, which around only fears that the Japanese were laying a trap for anyone who might try to establish contact with the sender, were passed on to the Captain of the Hong Kong Volunteer force inside Shamshuipo but otherwise ignored.
However, members of the Hong Kong volunteers, most of whom from Hong Kong experience knew Cantonese, cross-examined the Chinese messages bearers at length.
By good fortune one message, addressed to a British major at Shamshuipo who later earned a reputation as a collaborator was intercepted.
Eventually officers at Shamshuipo took a chance with a guarded reply to one message and also requested the originator, who gave his name as a British major escaped earlier from Hong Kong, to confirm his identity. Soon a reply came from somewhere in China, bearing the Major's signature which was recognized in the camp.
A captain of the Royal Scots was let in on the secret of the message exchanges because of his acquaintance with the escaped Major and an R.A.F. Flight Lieutenant also was brought in because of his alertness and reliability.
A British sergeant and a British corporal became a reception team for communications, receiving slips of paper from the Chinese while they were brewing tea for workers at the airfield.
Outgoing messages containing information about prisoner drafts to Japan, the death rate in hospital cases, the ration scale and complaints about the conduct of the prison were prepared in a camp book by the Royal Scots captain, with assistance of a lieutenant of the Hong Kong volunteers.
When communications reached the point where they were going out and coming in almost daily they were written with invisible ink made with rice of white flour.
During a brief stay at Shamshuipo of a Royal Navy lieutenant-commander, he was brought into the confidence of the underground members and took on the job of extending it to the officers' camp at Argyle Street, Kowloon, to which he expected a transfer.
Capt. W.P.C. LeBoutillier of Ottawa, became the Canadian liaison officer for the underground to which Maj. W. A. Bishop of Bury, Que., was added.
When work parties at Kai Tak airport were discontinued, contact was maintained through the British driver of a ration truck which left the camp regularly.
Lt.-Col. Jack Price of Quebec joined the organization when, upon his departure from the Argyle Street camp to join the Canadians at Shamshuipo, he was asked by a British colonel to carry a highly-important message to the Royal Scots captain at the main camp.
When the message was safely delivered, although the colonel's kit was turned inside out by guards, the Quebec officer was asked to join the underground organization at Shamshuipo in an advisory capacity.
Col. Price agreed but repeatedly refusing during the winter of 1942-43, when there was a diphtheria epidemic in the camp, to consider requests from outside agents for an escape attempt by the prisoners. The organization accepted his view that at the moment medical supply was the first priority and that following any escape reprisals against the prisoners, in their weakened condition, would endanger lives.
Disruption of contact was threatened when the British truck driver was removed from the ration party but Routledge, at that time also a member of the party, was approached by Price and accepted a job operating as courier through the camp gates.
For a time, to throw off the danger of detection, messages were prepared in Bishop's shack but in May, 1943, contact was broken and all documents inside the camp were destroyed when the Royal Scots Captain passed word around that the Japanese were highly suspicious.
The Flight Lieutenant was arrested without warning on July 1 and the British sergeant and Routledge were also rounded up, though Routledge managed to slip a message of warning to another member of the underground.
All three were tortured, at first at gendarmerie headquarters at Kowloon, then at Stanley Prison, Hong Kong, where they were kept in solitary confinement. But they kept the secret to themselves and the Japanese were unable to reach into the organization beyond the British Colonel, the Royal Scots Captain, the R.A.F. officer, two British N.C.O.'s and Routledge.
Early in December, 1943, all were tried by court-martial, the officers were executed on December 18 and the N.C.O.'s – saved only by the fact the officers insisted the N.C.O.'s were acting strictly under their orders – were sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Nearly All Canadian POW's On Way To Guam And Manila
By William Stewart, Canadian Press Staff Writer
Tokyo, Sept. 21.
All but possibly small and isolated groups of Canadian prisoners have been evacuated from Japan and now are en route to Guam and Manila.
During the last few days the bulk of Canadians liberated in the Japanese home islands have been placed aboard ships and planes and evacuated. Lt.-Col. M. W. McA'Nulty (sp?), of Sherbrooke, Que., head of the Canadian Far Eastern Reception Group, has returned to Manila to complete the job of speeding the liberated men to their home in Canada.
Among the Canadians remaining there are twenty-three nuns at Senda who will stay in Japan until instructions are received from their religious orders in Canada. There also are a few civilians of Canadian origin, including one or two women who lost their nationality by foreign marriage, whose status and qualifications for repatriation have not yet been determined.
First contact with some groups of Canadian prisoners in remote areas was made by Capt. Ken Woodsworth of Toronto, member of the reception group, who set out on his own with two non-commissioned officers and travelled by train to camps beyond the present reach of the occupation forces.
Capt. Woodsworth was the first to reach the Kamaishi area where there were British, Dutch, Chinese and Canadian prisoners. The Woodworth party, preceded and trailed by Japanese police, obtained sorely needed relief for one group of Chinese who had suffered fifty per cent deaths from illness, hunger and exhaustion.
Over the protests of a police chief that he had no authority to act, Capt. Woodsworth, who speaks Japanese, issued instructions for suspension of work by the Chinese and provision of food for them.
Capt. Woodsworth now is on a trip to Kobe and is due to return this week-end.
In the Tokyo area, where one can drive 20 miles through a district once densely populated but now swept clean of buildings by bombing raids, Japanese go about casually with their everyday affairs while United States military personnel proceed with the job of occupation.
There is no outward friction and the Japanese seem happy.

Canadians Reach Pacific Ports From Jap Camps
San Francisco, Oct. 2 (AP)
The first large unit of Canadian prisoners of war – 244 enlisted men and one officer of the Winnipeg Grenadiers and Quebec Rifles, who were captured Christmas Day, 1941, at Hong Kong – arrived here today on the U.S.S. Ozark, a Pacific fleet minelayer.
Capt. John Anthony Reid, 32, Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps officer, who had been attached to the Winnipeg Grenadiers, said the returned Canadians were in "fairly good shape, although lacking stamina."
The captain, 5 Schofield Ave., Toronto, said the Canadians had suffered during imprisonment from beriberi, pellagra, dysentery and pneumonia, but since being released had gained back their average weight and now were in much improved condition.
Tales of harsh treatment, shortages of food and medical supplies were related by the Canadian soldiers, all of whom had been found in camps on the main Japanese island of Honshu.
Sgt. Ernest Neal, 45, Fort Frances, said the Japanese made his men work barefooted and without proper clothing in winter unloading coal.
Rfmn. Frederick Charles Mason, 25, Oshawa, who worked in a shipyard, said his group received no soap, towels or hot water for bathing and claimed the lice, insects and fleas in living quarters made living miserable.
"We almost lost hope," said Pte. Clarence Stewart, 25, Winnipeg. "It is impossible to tell how down in the mouth we were."

Liberated P.O.W.'s Home From Japan
Number of Eastern Townships Men Who Were Prisoners of Japanese Since Fall of Hong Kong Garrison Included in Contingent Which Reached Montreal Yesterday Afternoon – Former Richmond Man Recalls Days in Prison Camp.
Victoria, Oct. 12. Crowds that rushed the gate at the government drydock, knocking guards off their feet and delaying the unloading of the American troopship S.S. Gosper last night gave 551 British and Canadian liberated prisoners from Japan, including a number from the Eastern Townships of Quebec, the most rousing welcome yet tendered a troopship arriving. Here. Mrs. C.F. Rowe, of Dawson Creek, B.C. flew here to meet her brother, Major Wells A. Bishop, of Bury, Que. Canadians aboard the vessel included Captain Edmund L. Hurd, Bulwer, Que.; James G. Heath, Richmond; Rfmn. Elvin E. Herring, Scotstown; Rfmn. Clarence Hunt, Bury' Rfmn. Richard C.F. Lafoe, Richmond, Que.
San Francisco, Oct. 12 – (CP) The following men from the Eastern Townships were among 70 repatriated Canadian prisoners of war who landed here yesterday aboard U.S.S. Rixey; Cpl. W.A. Dobb, Sherbrooke; Rfmn. S. B. Henderson, Richmond; Rfmn. E. Olson, Bury; Cpl. L. G. Wood, Lake Megantic; and Rfmn. Gordon MacIver, Scotstown.
Twenty liberated prisoners of war from Japan from the Montreal area, which includes the Eastern Townships, arrived in Montreal by special train yesterday afternoon and were met by the most riotous welcome ever accorded to returning troops.
Included in the group who were officially welcomed by officers of Military District No. 4, the St. Jerome Military Band and members of the Red Cross Corps, were Lt. W. B. Bradley, son of Dr. F. H. Bradley and Mrs. Bradley, of Sherbrooke; Capt. Stanley M. Banfill, of East Angus and Montreal; Capt. Everette E. Dennison, of Sherbrooke; Rfmn. Ronald Claricoates, of Sherbrooke; Rfmn. Earl E. Davidson, of South Durham; Sgt. L.C. Doull, of Drummondville; L.Cpl. W. C. Henderson, of Waterloo; and Sgt. James E. Badger, Montreal, formerly of Richmond.
With the words, "We don't like rice," scrawled on the coaches, the train pulled in and the Canadian heroes disembarked into a crowd which bore down on them to shake hands with the men of the "C-Force," the unit which fought against odds of almost ten to one in defence of Hong Kong and who have been prisoners of war since Christmas of 1941 when they were trapped without water at Stanley Fort and forced to surrender to the Japanese.
Heading the group as they arrived in Montreal were Col. J. H. Price, M.C., Commanding Officer of the Royal Rifles of Canada, and Lt.-Col. W.J. Home, M.C., Commanding Officer of "C-Force." Speaking of the officers and men under his command, Lt.-Col. Home said, "If it were possible to choose the force again, I could not hope to pick a better group of men. They fought splendidly and have behaved wonderfully all the way through." Both he and Col. Price continued on to Quebec later yesterday evening.
Leaving Yokohama on September 8th aboard two American troopships, the Admiral Hugh Rodman and the Ozark, the returning men landed at San Francisco on October 2nd after short stop-overs at Guam and Pearl Harbor. They proceeded by train to Victoria and boarded their special train last Sunday. All appear in excellent condition in spite of the ordeal they have been through and credit this to the wonderful food they have had for the past two months. Although very little in way of Red Cross supplies sifted through to them in the Japanese camps, they have nothing but praise for the treatment they have received from that organization since their release.
Sgt. James Badger settled back in a deep comfortable chair at his home on Park Avenue in Montreal yesterday afternoon and in an interview reminisced on the days when he had had to catch rats and snakes and grasshoppers to eke out the meagre ration of rice doled out to him and his companions in the prison camps of Hong Kong and Japan.
Born and raised on a farm in Richmond, Sgt. Badger joined the Royal Rifles of Canada in September, 1940, and with them arrived safely at Kowloon on the Chinese mainland opposite Hong Kong on November 16, 1941. On December 7 the unit proceeded to Hong Kong.
On the declaration of war, Sgt. Badger was attached to a platoon on the coast opposite Kowloon to guard against paratroop landings, but no paratroops came. Instead, on the night of December 17, came an overwhelming Japanese invasion army which forced coast defenders across the rugged mountainous spine of the Island to Stanley Fort. On the way across, the Japs took over the reservoir which supplied water for the whole island and on Christmas Day, after four days without water, the garrison was forced to surrender.
For nine months, Sgt. Badger along with 1,400 other Canadians was imprisoned in North Point Camp on the island of Hong Kong, then he was moved to the Shamshuipo Barracks at Kowloon. It was here, during the winter of 1942-43, that more than 100 Canadians died of diphtheria in the almost wrecked buildings. After 60 had died, the Japanese brought in small amounts of serum which, said Sgt. Badger, was doled out only to critical cases. Besides the diphtheria the camp was ridden with dysentery and beri-beri.
The sergeant, who had beri-beri in the feet at that time, said that the sharp knife-like pains could only be stopped by numbing the feet in icy water. This process, which took abut an hour, allowed two hours sleep and then had to be repeated. This went on all winter on a ration o rice, sweet potato tops and sour bread.
On August 15, 1943, began the move to Niigata prison camp in Japan proper, 250 miles north of Tokyo. To begin with, 500 men were crammed into the hold of a small freighter and such was the congestion that only by taking turns could the men lie down. Many were sick with dysentery and the air in the hold was hot and fetid. After three days of this, the ship stopped at Formosa where it remained for six more days. Then as a final hellish stroke of sheer sadism, the holds were half filled with coal and for the remaining six days of the trip to Osaka, the men rode between the coal and the scorching deck.
Landing at Osaka on September 1, almost too sick and tired to move the prisoners were loaded onto a train, again in a frightfully cramped space and taken to the Niigata labor camp where, on September 6 they began work in a foundry. During the first winter there, 68 men died of pneumonia and eight more were killed when the shack in which they were sleeping collapsed on top of them. Twenty other men were seriously injured in this accident.
At the foundry where they worked, many of the men were unmercifully beaten for trivial offences. One man was beaten unconscious for spilling a drop of the medicine he was being given for dysentery; another went insane after being flogged for stealing a handful of beans from nearby freight sheds. The Japanese used almost anything they could lay their hands on for these beatings – sticks, rubber-shoes, rifle-butts or sword scabbards.
It was during this period, when he was working nine and ten hours a day on a daily ration of less than a pound of food, that Sgt. Badger and other prisoners took to catching rats in home-made traps and cooking them over charcoal stolen from the foundry. Cats, dogs, snakes and grasshoppers were also caught and eaten by some prisoners.
On August 11, 1945, work at the foundry stopped and all civilians were evacuated from the town – rumours were heard of the atomic bomb. On August 16 the population moved back and Japanese soldiers hinted at surrender. August 17 the Jap commandant released official word of the surrender and immediately all Japanese soldiers and officers became ridiculously polite, bowing and smiling whenever they passed one of their former prisoners.
American planes soon found the camp and dropped tons of food, clothing, boots and cigarettes in 90 gallon drums. On September 5, the prisoners went by train to Tokyo, riding 25 in a carriage where before there had been 100. An electric railway took them to Yokohama and the long sea journey began, back to Canada and home.

Diary of RRC Man Reveals Jap Brutality
Guam, Oct. 18 – In a terse factual diary scrawled in spare moments in a cheap scribbling book, RSM. Leslie Shore of the Royal Rifles of Canada has put on record the day-to-day drabness and horror of life in a Japanese prison camp.
The Quebec City man wrote his first entry in the autumn of 1943, about eight months after he arrived at a camp near Tokyo, following the fall of the Hong Kong garrison. The diary ended last month after the Japanese surrender.
Describing the scant rations, the brutal treatment by guards, and frequent deaths of Canadian prisoners from mistreatment and malnutrition, the diary, through its very laconism, tells one of the most graphic stories yet heard about the Japanese.
"Men steadily losing weight and strength . . . Men taken out for run to baseball field. Great number had to fall because of bad feet . . . Two men caught going through garbage this morning . . . Fifteen hundred letters came in. Only a few given out in evening . . . Men slapped around by Japanese workman who was drunk . . . Every man has had a great deal of sickness in the last 32 months . . . Twelve men stayed in because of no boots . . ."
Shore told of how he and his mates saw Allied carrier aircraft raiding the Tokyo area last August, and "had to take to the bush three times" on their way to work one day.
Finally the entry of last August 15: "Heard wonderful news that fighting had stopped and truce exists between Allies and Japan. Surprising how well Nips took the news at the plant, though not so well in camp. The camp staff could not take it."
Oct 1945 – Sherbrooke Daily Record
Photograph titled – A Long-Delayed Reunion – Caption reads: Lt. William B. Bradley, of Quebec with his wife and their daughter, Louise, photographed with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. F. H. Bradley, at their home on Wolfe Street. Lt. Bradley, who served with the Royal Rifles of Canada at Hong Kong, has just arrived back in Canada after three years and nine months of internment in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps.
Life In Japanese Internment Camp Is Described By Lt. W. B. Bradley
A tour of the Sherbrooke Internment Camp, where almost four hundred German merchant seamen are living well under the only Works Programme in operation in P.O.W. camps in Canada, and an interview within the same week with Lt. William B. Bradley, Royal Rifles of Canada, son of Dr. and Mrs. F.B. Bradley, of Sherbrooke, who has just returned to Canada following three years and nine months of internment in Japanese camps today provided a sharp study in contrast.
Taken by the Japanese after desperate fighting against hopeless odds with the famous Quebec regiment at Hong Kong, Lt. Bradley spent five days at Stanley Fort, on the southern tip of the island, before being marched fifteen miles with a large group of British, Indians and Canadians to North Point Camp, where he remained until Labor Day, 1942, when he was removed by truck to Bowen Road Hospital in Hong Kong.
During the two months that he was there, internees at the North Point Camp were moved across the harbour to Shamshuipo.
On release from hospital, Lt. Bradley re-joined his fellow prisoners at the new camp, built by the British around 1932 to hold two battalions.
Living conditions there were distinctly crowded. In a hut that should have been accommodating thirty-six, seventy-five Allied service men were jammed in with oil drums, stored in prisoners' living quarters by the Japanese. The number thinned out, however, as groups of prisoners were sent to Japan.
Men at the camp received seven and a half Red Cross boxes each during their period of internment, and one personal parcel each, with the exception of six, of whom Lt. Bradley was one. Cigarettes were received from the Royal Rifles Auxiliary, but were bartered for food with the Formosan guards.
Japanese underwear was distributed to the prisoners on half a dozen occasions. This was the only clothing provided. Men sold their personal effects, including their uniforms, for food, leaving themselves with almost nothing.
They had a garden, but no tools, seeds or fertility. They had a few chickens, but nothing to feed them, and any eggs laid, sold to the guards brought only a fraction of what they were worth.
Meals were deadly monotonous. Prisoners filed through the kitchen, where food was prepared by their own men, received their portion ladled out "sometimes into lampshades, or whatever they were eating from," then proceeded back to any available eating spot.
There was no mess or dining hall. For breakfast there was rice gruel, "very little, and of the very poorest quality," and for the noon and evening meal there was "rice and greens," steamed rice with either carrot tops, chrysanthemum leaves, sweet potato, tops or melons. There was some fish for a short period.
"There was no intercourse with the outside," Lt. Bradley stressed but the Chinese women were "really simply wonderful." At a great risk and leaving themselves vulnerable to sordid humiliation, they would bring food to the prisoners within the camp.
Japs allowed the prisoners to buy the "Hong Kong News," an English publication put out by the Japanese. "It was solid propaganda," Lt. Bradley remarked. "One week, Churchill was Roosevelt's stooge, and the next, Roosevelt was Churchill's."
Earlier, a Lieutenant's pay was 25 yen a month. This was raised to 58 later, but in the meantime, inflation had set in, and the sum was practically worthless – it took fifty-two yen to buy a pound of rock salt that they wouldn't put on the streetcar tracks in Sherbrooke.
Lt. Bradley discussed the works programme arranged by the Japanese for their captives. Fifty men, with one Allied officer, who didn't work were sent out on assignments that didn't always conform to the International Law. Prisoners helped to build the airport at Kai Tak; they moved oil drums and bombs; and dug tunnels for underground Japanese food stores. On two occasions they were away from the ramp, building a garden in the enclosure of the Hong Kong Race Club and in a section of the New Territories.
"Occasionally we played softball, and the British played cricket," said Lt. Bradley. The equipment was "scrounged" at the camp. There were "extremely good" theatricals, once every five weeks, and a library of 2,000 books "saved us all from going crazy." There were no magazines or radios permitted.
"The treatment our men received was the same as that of the guards if they committed equivalent offences. The least infraction was punishable, of course, but the Formosans got the same treatment as we did. I saw no real atrocities where I was."
The Canadians had a hospital within the camp, with Canadian doctors in attendance.
"They did all that was humanly possible, with no equipment, drugs or co-operation. Major Crawford, Captain Banfill, Captain Grey and Captain Reid were simply wonderful, and deserve high praise. Our Japanese doctor, Captain Saito, considered an ace war criminal, visited the camp every four months." He conducted vague examinations.
On one occasion, to determine who was able to go to Japan, this doctor lined the men up on one side of the street, and if they were able to walk to the other side without stumbling, they were termed fit.
Prisoners in Shamshuipo Camp learned of the end of the war two days after the official surrender.
"We had a strong suspicion, however. As the work party was returning to camp on the day that the war ended Portuguese girls ran up to them telling them the news. They were brushed off by the guards. The next day the same thing happened, only more so."
Finally a student in the camp translated a smuggled Chinese newspaper, and the news was definite. Men ordered the Japanese, who had suddenly become very polite, out of the camp, and the prisoners had an impressive ceremony. A Union Jack, concealed throughout the period of internment, and a white ensign, made at the camp, were raised over the Canadian hut.
Allied aircraft dropped food, medicine and pamphlets instructing the men to remain in the camp. Before they were liberated by a British fleet under Admiral Harcourt, however, they brought a great quantity of food from the Chinese and fed themselves well for the first time in years.
Lt. Bradley was sent to Manila, where he was completed equipped, then set sail for San Francisco aboard an American transport. From San Francisco he proceeded by train to Seattle, then to Victoria by boat, and then – Home.
Asked how the Japs should be educated to take their place in the family of the world, Lt. Bradley replied that it should be left to MacArthur – "he has a good head."

V for Vijay Dinanath Chauhan
For two years in B-school, the word 'core competency' would come up in multiple case study discussions. In our over simplified solutions, we would often propose that the organization do something completely different from its DNA. Our Profs would then reiterate the importance of 'understanding' a particular line of business and organizations sticking to what they do best.
Dharma Production's (post Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) core competency is making larger than life weepy emotional dramas. It is in their DNA to make bubble gummy romantic pop corny films. Nothing against that, I have liked quite a few of them (Do not judge me!). Debutant Director Karan Malhotra's Agneepath is a visually stunning film (cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran, Kiran Deohans) which attempts to go away from K Jo's DNA and sadly, as my Profs would lecture, it eventually suffers by doing what it does not know how to do well. Though some of the K Jo elements still creep in diluting the attempt to break away – super synchronized dance sequences (in red light areas!) to actors living in chawls with the perfect make up!
Blame it on my high expectations or my love for the original (one of my favourite Sr. Bachan movies) but this Agneepath did not make me go wow. On the contrary I found it an effort to sit through the almost 3 hour long movie.
The story is the stock Bollywood one, of a son (Vijay, Hrithik Roshan) seeking revenge for his father's murder by a big bad villain (Kancha, Sanjay Dutt). The entire process of enacting this revenge is what made the original Agneepath riveting to watch. Of course, it had a brilliant screenplay and mature characters to engage the audience; while this one does have some interesting characters, it is majorly let down by its own lethargic story telling pace. The biggest pain points are the sob scenes and to some extent the romantic ones despite a pleasant performance from Priyanka 'OMG! what a waist!' Chopra (Kaali, worst screen name ever for someone with such a hot waistline).
There is a silver lining though. Each time the movie is dragging and you start feeling bored, an action sequence pops out keeping you on the edge of your seat. Ajay-Atul's background score is a big help during such moments, pity their music in the rest of the movie is just so-so. Regarding Chikni Chameli, well, my liking for Katrina is well documented but I did not enjoy this act one bit. The choreography here is just terrible. And as antithetical as it may sound, Sheila atleast had some class, this has none.
Besides the sheer length of the movie, the other drawback is that the viewer keeps waiting for the action scenes to happen on screen, as the best portions of the film lie there. The flaw lies in the screenplay not being able to sustain the viewer engagement in between the violence and allowing it to dip instead. For instance, Hrithik does surprisingly little of his gangster business for someone supposed to be ruling Mumbai's drug business.
However, the biggest positives are from the couple of superlative performances – by Roshan and Dutt. Hrithik is absolutely fantastic and does no wrong in playing the brooding, vendetta focused Vijay Chauhan. But Sanjay Dutt steals the show and surges two steps ahead delivering one of his finest performances ever, definitely his best in a negative role. Rishi Kapoor as the local drug lord is excellent; his menacing act is so against his usual on screen image that it takes you by completely by surprise.
Plus there are certain moments of pure unbridled entertainment, my favourite scene is the one in which Hrithik mouths the iconic 'Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, pura naam' dialogue. I was waiting for it throughout, and almost feared the makers had dropped it. But it does come in the second half and lives up to the hoopla created by Amitabh Bachan.
In fact that particular scene, sums up the 2012 version of Agneepath, the basic premise is the same as the older one, the characters though are completely new and the mode of delivery too. I may possibly be unfair in comparing the two movies at every step, but then that is the risk you take in a remake, people will always benchmark it with the original. But credit to the Director that this one does not feel like the original, it is a completely different film with the same theme. Wish he had got better editing done though!
Rating: Go for the movie if you have nothing else to do on the weekend. It is better than watching TV news channels brood about India's 'Agneepath' series loss.
Dessert Note: Apparently the makers of the original, late Director Mukul Anand in particular, derived the idea to make Agneepath from Deewar, another iconic Bacchan film. He wondered how the Deewar Vijay would react if he knew the people responsible for his woes. And hence made Agneepath!
