CINERAMA
On Film Compilations
Cinerama is a widescreen process that originally projected images simultaneously from
three synchronized 35 mm projectors onto
a huge, deeply curved screen, subtending
146 of arc. The trademarked process was
marketed by the Cinerama corporation. It
was the first of a number of novel processes introduced during the 1950s, when the
movie industry was reacting to competition
from television. Cinerama was presented
to the public as a theatrical event, with reserved seating and printed programs, and
audience members often dressed in their
best attire for
the evening.

RACHEL KITE

NICK ASKAM
Sometimes its easy to forget that sports
athletes are people, too. Steve James does
the exact opposite by using parallelism
to show the different lives between two
boys who grew up in the same area with
one minor difference, their education.
William Gates is a rising star who gets a
private education with the best facilities,
while Arthur Agee suffers hardship in his
first year and remains in public school
for the rest of the education. Gates has
all the opportunities in the world and all
of the medical help that he needs. Agee
barely gets enough education to graduate.
James shows the boys main problems in
a nuanced way. Gates has everything but
cant get away from Isiah Thomas shadow
(an NBA star). The pressure to be great
stifles any growth for him and eventually
the game takes its toll. Agee has nothing
but finds the escapes his situation through
basketball and his home life eats away
at him. James captivates his audience by
showing this human story and gives the
varying perspectives of their lives without
feeling heavy handed. Overall, James does
a great job creating more than a sports
story; he creates a human story.
