he aircraft carrier USS Theodore T Roosevelt (CVN 71) made the third port visit of her 2015 deployment when she pulled in to Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates, June 7-11. TR Sailors and Marines enjoyed a few days of relaxation before TR pulled back out to sea for another stretch of underway operations. TR’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) offered an assortment of events for Sailors to enjoy including visits to Atlantis water-park, Ferrari World indoor theme park, desert safaris, sand boarding, camel rides, and an Abu Dhabi city tour. TR’s Funboss, Megan Villapudua, who previously visited Dubai three times while on deployment with the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65), was excited to provide crew members with multiple entertainment opportunities while the ship was in port. “I think the tours went really well,” said Villapudua. “I think Dubai had more exciting tour options than Bahrain.

California Cuts Farmers’ Share Of Scant Water LOS ANGELES — Farmers with rights to California water dating back to the Gold Rush will face sharp cutbacks, the first reduction in their water use since 1977, state officials announced Friday. The officials said that rights dating to 1903 would be restricted, and that such restrictions would grow as the summer months go on, with the state facing a prolonged drought that shows few signs of easing. “Demand in our key rivers systems are outstripping supply,” said Caren Trgovcich, the State Water Resources Control Board’s chief deputy director. “Other cuts may be imminent.” State officials have warned of such curtailments for months, and many farmers and agricultural water districts prepared for them by increasing their reserves or digging new wells for ground water. Still, the dramatic move is a sign of how dire the drought has become, as the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountain range — which normally supplies water to the state through the summer months, as it melts — is at a historic low level. Only once before in the state’s history have the most senior water rights been curtailed. But with the drought persisting into a fourth year, state officials say that more reductions for so-called senior water rights holders are nearly certain, and the need for additional cuts will be evaluated weekly. The reductions announced Friday apply to more than 100 water right holders in the San Joaquin and Sacramento watersheds and delta whose claims to water came after 1903. “It’s going to be a different story for each of them and a struggle for each of them,” said Tom Howard, the executive director of the State Water Resources Control Board, referring to the senior water rights holders. “Some are going to have to stop irrigating crops, and there are others who have storage or wells they can fall back on.” JENNIFER MEDINA

Democrats Spurn Obama on Trade Pact WASHINGTON — Hours after President Obama made a dramatic, personal appeal for support, House Democrats on Friday thwarted his push to expand trade negotiating power — and quite likely his chance to secure a legacy-defining accord spanning the Pacific Ocean. In a remarkable blow to a president they have backed so resolutely, House Democrats voted to end assistance to workers displaced by global trade, a program their party created. That move scuttled legislation granting Obama trade promotion authority — the power to negotiate trade deals that cannot be amended or filibustered by Congress. “We want a better deal for America’s workers,” said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority leader, who has guided Obama’s agenda for two terms and was personally lobbied by Obama until the last minute. The vote that prevented the president from obtaining trade promotional authority now imperils the more sweeping Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed
trade agreement with 11 other nations along the Pacific Ocean that affects 40 percent of the global economy on goods ranging from running shoes to computers. “They have taken their own child hostage,” said Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa. “Does it hurt the president? Of course it hurts the president, but it hurts America more.” The Democratic revolt left Republican leaders trying to summon support from their own party for trade adjustment assistance, a program they have long derided as a waste of money and a concession to organized labor. Eighty-six Republicans voted for the program, more than double the 40 Democrats who supported it. But the trade adjustment assistance bill failed when 126 voted for it and 303 against. Republican leaders then passed, in a 219-to-211 vote, a stand-alone bill that would grant the president the trade negotiating authority he sought. But that measure cannot go to the president for his signature because the Senate version of the legislative package combined both trade
adjustment and trade promotion. There is still a possibility that the House will pass the worker assistance bill early next week and send to Obama, but it would require dozens of Republicans or Democrats changing their votes, a prospect Republicans said was remote. “We are not done with this,” said Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the majority leader. The hope is that Democrats, faced with the prospect of trade promotion authority passing the Senate without the worker assistance provisions, will reverse course. But to Democrats who have watched wages stagnate and manufacturing jobs move abroad since the North American Free Trade Agreement of 1993, there was little allure to another trade bill despite support from business leaders. [Page 4] “Make no mistake, this is a race to the bottom,” Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., said of the Trans-Pacific Partnership. “The time has come for Congress to say no to these agreements.” JONATHAN WEISMAN
U.S. Sees Failure in Fighting ISIS on Social Media WASHINGTON — An internal State Department assessment paints a dismal picture of the efforts by the Obama administration and its foreign allies to combat the Islamic State’s message machine, portraying a fractured coalition that cannot get its own message straight. The assessment comes months after the State Department signaled that it was planning to energize its social media campaign against the militant group. It concludes that the Islamic State’s violent narrative — promulgated through thousands of messages each day — has effectively “trumped” the efforts of some of the world’s richest and most technologically advanced nations. It also casts an unflattering light on internal discussions between American officials and some of their closest allies in the military campaign against the militants. A “messaging working
group” of officials from the United States, Britain and the United Arab Emirates, the memo says, “has not really come together.” “The U.A.E. is reticent, the Brits are overeager, and the working group structure is confusing,” the memo says. “When we convened meetings with our counterparts, I am certain we all heard about various initiatives for the first time.” The blunt assessment comes amid broader criticism that the military campaign against the Islamic State is flagging. The group’s fighters recently took over the city of Ramadi in western Iraq and have occupied Falluja and Mosul for more than a year. State Department officials have said that “countermessaging” the Islamic State is one of the pillars of the strategy to defeat the group. But Obama administration officials have acknowledged that the group is far more nimble in
spreading its message than the United States is in blunting it. The internal document — composed by Richard A. Stengel, the State Department’s under secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs — was written for Secretary of State John Kerry after a conference of Western and Arab officials in Paris this month on countering the Islamic State. Stengel noted that the message — that a disparate coalition of nations was resolute in destroying the Islamic State — fell flat, with news media reports highlighting how little of substance seemed to emerge from the meeting. “From the outside, it mostly seemed exactly like business as usual,” Stengel wrote. The memo, labeled “sensitive but unclassified,” was given to The New York Times by an Obama administration official. MARK MAZZETTI and MICHAEL R. GORDON

Ex-I.M.F. Official Is Acquitted of Pimping Charges PARIS — Dominique StraussKahn, the former head of the International Monetary Fund, was acquitted on Friday of aggravated pimping charges, concluding a case that made the private lives of public figures fair game for the French news media, even if the French themselves still seemed inclined to overlook dalliances by their political leaders. The lurid details of the case, which included accounts of exclusive sex parties, nevertheless captivated France and shined an uncomfortable light on the sexual escapades of certain circles of a rich and powerful elite. The ruling was widely expected. But after a four-year legal battle that paraded Strauss-Kahn’s libertinage, the judgment offered perhaps less a vindication for a man once considered a presidential contender than a sense of relief for a nation mostly exhausted by the subject. It helped public patience little that Strauss-Kahn’s case overlapped with a monthslong saga of President François Hollande’s affair with a woman who was not his live-in partner. In 2011, Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York and accused of assaulting a housekeeper at a hotel there. Those charges were dropped, but, in the aftermath, allegations of past sexual misconduct including sexual harassment and attempted rape surfaced. The case concluded Friday against Strauss-Kahn, 66, centered on accusations that he used a network of friends and subordinates to organize lavish sex parties with prostitutes. For many in France, where privacy, even for public figures, is often considered sacrosanct, the case crossed a threshold, as Strauss-Kahn’s “rough” sexuality was dissected in court. “This isn’t a fundamental variable in the political choices of the French,” said François Kraus, a pollster at Ifop, a polling institute based in Paris. “One can have a private life that is quite dissolute, one can have an unconventional marital arrangement,” he said, adding that it would not inform people’s voting here.

MERS Tarnishes Korean President’s Image SEOUL, South Korea — It used to be an often-cited story about Park Geun-hye, the president of South Korea: When her father, the longtime dictator Park Chunghee, was assassinated by his spy chief in 1979, her first reaction was to ask whether there was any unusual movement by the North Korean military along the border. The episode helped build Park an image as a strong leader, and it propelled her to victory in the 2012 election, in which she became South Korea’s first female president. But that image has come crashing down as her government has fumbled in its efforts to contain an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome, just a year after she and her administration were criticized for their response to the ferry sinking that killed 304 people, mostly teenagers. With her approval rating plunging, critics and political analysts alike are questioning her leadership as the country faces pressing issues like a slowing economy, a national pension system awaiting an overhaul, and nuclear and missile threats from North Korea. “She is too slow, too closed, to be able to deliver a timely message to her people at a time like this,” said Choi Jin, director of the Institute of Presidential Leadership in Seoul. “She has turned out to be the most

More than 3,600 South Koreans are being observed for symptoms, and over 2,900 schools are closed. Once-bustling shopping districts in Seoul have emptied of the Chinese visitors who are the biggest source of foreign tourist income. Department stores and theaters say that customers are staying away. On Thursday, the Bank of Korea cut its interest rate to a record low amid fears that the
economy could slump further. Park’s approval rating, which hovered around 40 percent before the outbreak, has plunged to 33 percent, according to a survey released by Gallup Korea on Friday. Park postponed a meeting with President Obama in Washington that had been set for next week. “Her lame-duck phase is arriving sooner than expected,” said Kim Ji-yoon, a political analyst at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul, citing growing questions about her competence. “I don’t think the postponement of her U.S. trip does anything good, other than making her look inconsistent.” CHOE SANG-HUN
In Brief Germany Drops Inquiry of N.S.A. Germany’s federal prosecutor said on Friday that he had dropped a formal investigation into allegations of eavesdropping on one of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphones by an American intelligence agency because of a lack of concrete evidence. A German news report in October 2013 that the National Security Agency had tapped one of Merkel’s private cellphones prompted outrage among citizens already angry over previous reports of the widespread gathering of telecommunications data by United States and British intelligence services.

Blast Destroys Ancient Site A protected 2,500-year-old cultural heritage site in Yemen’s capital, Sana, was obliterated in an explosion Friday, and witnesses and news reports said the cause was a missile or bomb from a Saudi warplane. The Saudi military denied responsibility. The top antiquities-safeguarding official at the United Nations condemned the destruction of ancient multistory homes, towers and gardens, which also killed an unspecified number of residents in a neighborhood in Sana’s Old City area. The Unesco statement said the damaged area had been inhabited
for more than 2,500 years and “bears witness to the wealth and beauty of the Islamic civilization.”(NYT)
Tunisians Kidnapped in Libya An armed group stormed the Tunisian consulate in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and kidnapped 10 consular employees on Friday, the Tunisian Foreign Ministry said in a communiqué. The ministry denounced the action as a “cowardly attack on Tunisian national sovereignty” and a “flagrant violation of International law and diplomatic conventions.” It said it was working with local officials in Tripoli and international authorities to gain its employees’ release. This is the second time in just a few weeks that Tunisians have been held hostage by Libyan militiamen. (NYT)

Black or White? Woman’s Story Stirs Up Furor She has professed an affinity for black people since she was a teenager, when her parents adopted four black children. She chose a college where she could immerse herself in racial issues, and went to graduate school at a historically black university. She married a black man and built a reputation as an advocate for civil rights. Rachel A. Dolezal would hardly be the first person to embrace a racial identity she was not born or raised in, but a rare twist in her story has suddenly turned her into a subject of national debate. Dolezal, president of her local N.A.A.C.P. chapter and a university instructor in African-American studies, has claimed for years that her heritage is partly black. And that, her parents say, is a lie. “She’s clearly our birth daughter, and we’re clearly Caucasian — that’s just a fact,” Lawrence A. Dolezal said in an interview from his home in Montana on Friday. “She is a very talented woman, doing work she believes in. Why can’t she do that as a Caucasian woman, which is what she is?” Rachel Dolezal did not respond to numerous phone calls, e-mails or knocks on her door in Spokane, Wash., on Friday, but the allegation lit up the Internet, fueled by
TYLER TJOMSLAND/THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW, VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dolezal’s apparent refusal to give a direct answer about her racial background, and by family photos of her as a blue-eyed teenager with straight, blond hair. Dolezal, 37, quickly became a punch line on Twitter, the subject of countless barbed one-liners. But she also touched off a fierce Internet debate over the nature of race and racial categorization in America today, with commenters black and white, liberal and conservative, finding meaning in her story. “The reason that her story is so fascinating to me and to the rest of the world is that it exposes in a disquieting way that our race is performance — that, despite the stark differences in how our races are perceived and privileged (or not) by others, they are all predicated on a myth that the differences are intrinsic and intrinsically percep-

tible,” wrote Steven W. Thrasher, a columnist for The Guardian. Blacks and liberals accused Dolezal of an offensive impersonation, part of a long history in which whites appropriated black heritage when it suited them. Jonathan Capehart wrote in The Washington Post, “Blackface remains highly racist, no matter how down with the cause a white person is.” But many conservative commentators accused liberals of hypocrisy for accepting Caitlyn Jenner as a woman, but not Dolezal as black. “So, to recap, if Rachel Dolezal says she is a man, we must all agree, on pain of being publicly censured,” Rod Dreher wrote in The American Conservative. “But if Rachel Dolezal says she is black, it is fair game to challenge her claim.” RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA
Looking for Gains in Policing, City Finds Fewer Police BALTIMORE — A month and a half after six officers were charged in Freddie Gray’s death, policing has dwindled in some of Baltimore’s most dangerous neighborhoods, and murders have risen to levels not seen in four decades. The totals include a 29-year-old man fatally shot on a drug corner last month. Police union officials say officers are still coming to work, but some feel a newfound reluctance and are stepping back, questioning whether they will be prosecuted for actions they take. Around the nation, communities and police departments are struggling to adapt to an era of heightened scrutiny, when every stop can be recorded on a cellphone. But residents, clergy members and neighborhood leaders say the past six weeks have made another
reality clear: that as much as some officers humiliated and infuriated many who live here, the solution has to be better policing, not a diminished police presence. “Without law enforcement, there is no order,” said the Rev. Lisa Weah of New Bethlehem Baptist Church. “In truth, residents want a strong police force, but they also want accountability.” She said that she sympathized with many officers who did their jobs well but were now just as hated as the abusive officers, and that she prayed the spate of killings would be the shock that finally caused change. “This crisis was bound to happen because of the broken relationship between law enforcement and the people,” she said. “When something gets this infected, you have to break it down and
start from new.” At least 55 people, the highest pace since the early 1970s, have been murdered in Baltimore since May 1, when the state’s attorney for the city, Marilyn J. Mosby, announced the criminal charges against the officers. Victims of shootings have included people involved in criminal activity and young children who were simply in the wrong place. Gary Tuggle, a former Baltimore police officer, said he took issue with “this idea that the only reason for the rise in violence” is drugs. “It’s hard to police effectively if you are only concerned about self-preservation,” he said. “If you are not challenging them because of the need for self-preservation, then these folks are likely going to go out and commit these crimes.” RICHARD A. OPPEL Jr.
In Brief State G.O.P. Cancels Iowa’s Straw Poll The Iowa Straw Poll, a Republican Party tradition for nearly 40 years that was cherished by candidates vying to win the nation’s first nominating contest, is dead for the 2016 presidential cycle, party officials said Friday. The move was made as candidates in one of the largest presidential fields in modern Republican history showed diminishing interest in participating in the August event, in which campaigns spend lavishly to court local Republicans to emerge supreme in a poll at the carnival-like gathering. The vote to end the event, which was to have been held in August, was unanimous. “I see this as entirely a candidate decision,” said Jeff Kaufmann, the Republican Party chairman in Iowa, adding that “many” candidates and campaigns had urged the state party to forgo the poll.

Detainee’s Conviction Thrown Out on Appeal A federal appeals court on Friday threw out the conspiracy conviction of a detainee at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, ruling that bringing the charge before a tribunal was unconstitutional because an international war crime was not alleged. In a blow to the military tribunal system, a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the conviction of the detainee, a Yemeni man named Ali al-Bahlul, who had been charged with conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism.

Court Blocks Release Of ‘Angola 3’ Inmate A three-judge panel of the federal appeals court in New Orleans ruled on Friday against the immediate release of Albert Woodfox, who has served nearly four decades in solitary confinement for the murder of a prison guard, deciding that he should stay in prison as the state appeals a federal order to free him. Woodfox has been convicted twice in the 1972 murder of the prison guard, Brent Miller, 23, but both convictions have been thrown out. Woodfox is the last imprisoned member of a group known as the Angola Three. (NYT)

Chinese Hackers Thwart Web Privacy Tools web activities unreadable to state snoopers. The attackers compromised websites frequented by Chinese journalists as well as China’s Muslim Uighur ethnic minority, Blasco discovered last week. As long as visitors to those sites were also logged into one of 15 Chinese Internet portals — including those run by Baidu, Alibaba and RenRen — the hackers were able to steal names, addresses, sex, birth dates, email addresses, phone numbers and even the socalled Internet cookies that track other websites viewed by a user. To get around the Tor and VPN technology, the attackers relied on a server software vulnerability that China’s top companies apparently did not patch, Blasco said. While Blasco and others have not been able to pinpoint the iden-
tity of the hackers, the targets and the sophistication of the attacks suggest they may have been directed by China’s government. “Who else could be potentially interested in this information and go to such lengths? Who else would want to know who was visiting Uighur websites and reporters’ websites inside China?” Blasco said in interview. “There’s no financial gain from targeting these sites.” Blasco said the Uighur and press-related sites had been compromised with a “watering hole attack” in which attackers find a way to hide malicious code in websites frequented by their targets and then wait for their victims to come to them. Once people visit those sites, that code gets injected into their web browsers. NICOLE PERLROTH
U.S. Business Leaders Decry Setback on Trade Pact As big a setback as Friday’s vote on Capitol Hill was for President Obama’s efforts to advance his trade agenda, it was an even bigger rebuff for the leaders of American business. While there are deep divisions over trade policy among Democrats, and to some extent among Republicans, corporate America has been nearly unified in its support of a deal that would lower barriers to trade and investment between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations. Business groups and chief executives were quick to voice their displeasure with the House’s rejection of aid to workers harmed by imports, which could doom prospects for eventual approval
of a wider trade pact. “This is disappointing and discouraging,” said Todd J. Teske, chief executive of Briggs & Stratton, a 107-year-old manufacturer based in Wauwatosa, Wis. “We do business around the world, and free and fair trade allows the U.S. and our company to be competitive globally.” In a classic strange-bedfellows-in-Washington moment, big business lobbies swung into action on Friday afternoon in a concerted effort to save a signature initiative of Obama, a leader with whom they have rarely seen eye to eye. “Manufacturers will not back down in this fight for expanded trade, for the future of our indus-
tery in her neck, the lawsuit said. The vehicle was included in what Honda called a “safety improvement campaign” announced last June, but no notice was sent to the car’s owner at the time, the automaker said. Langlinais acquired the vehicle in October. Honda sent a safety notice for the car on April 2, three days before Langlinais’s crash. Chris Martin, a spokesman for Honda, said: “Honda deeply regrets that mailed notification appears to have not reached Ms. Langlinais prior to her crash.”

Honda Links a Rupturing Takata Airbag to a 7th Death Honda Motor on Friday confirmed that a rupturing airbag inflater fatally wounded the driver of a 2005 Civic in a crash in April. Counting this, at least seven deaths have been linked to defective airbags made by the Japanese supplier Takata.

The airbag exploded and sent shrapnel into Langlinais’s car, severing an ar-

Martin said the scale of the recalls and a lack of replacement parts prompted the automaker to prioritize servicing vehicles registered in “humid” regions like Florida, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, considered by Takata and federal regulators to be at highest risk of an inflater rupture. Honda mailed out the first notifications to drivers in those areas in September. Notices to other regions, including Louisiana, were not immediately mailed out. Takata said 34 million airbags must be recalled. HIROKO TABUCHI

The hackers were able to circumvent two of the most trusted privacy tools on the Internet: virtual private networks, or VPNs, and Tor, the anonymity software that masks a computer’s true whereabouts by routing its Internet connection through various points around the globe, according to findings by Jaime Blasco, a security researcher at AlienVault, a Silicon Valley security company. Both tools are used by Chinese businesses and by millions of citizens to bypass China’s censorship technology, often called the Great Firewall, and to make their

A Rift Spilling Out of the Organic Aisle Whole Foods Market and organic farmers have long had a symbiotic relationship. The grocer has helped stoke the American appetite for organic products, building stores that are showcases for organic fruits, vegetables and flowers tagged with the names of the farmers who grow them. But that relationship is fraying, as Whole Foods faces increasing competition from mainstream grocery chains and as organic farmers find more and more outlets for their produce. Now, some organic farmers contend that Whole Foods is using its formidable marketing skills and its credibility with consumers to convey that conventionally grown produce is just as good — or even better — than their organically grown products. Shoppers can choose from fruits and vegetables carrying the designation of “good,” “better” or “best.” The longtime suppliers to Whole Foods are complaining that the program called Responsibly Grown can grant a farmer who does not meet the stringent requirements for federal organic certification the same rating as an organic farmer, or even a higher one. “Whole Foods has done so much to help educate consumers

about the advantages of eating an organic diet,” five farmers wrote in a letter sent on Thursday to John Mackey, the co-founder and co-chief executive of Whole Foods. “This new rating program undermines, to a great degree, that effort.” Tom Willey, who has been farming organically for over 40 years in and around Madera, Calif., and others say the program is a subtle way of shifting the costs of a marketing program onto growers. “The reports we’re getting from speaking to farmers around the country are that they are spending anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 to comply with this program,” said Willey, one of the farmers who signed the letter. Farmers are not the only ones concerned about the impact of competition on Whole Foods. The
stock is trading near a 52-week low after falling 14 percent in May, when Whole Foods announced that comparable-store sales were up 3.6 percent, lower than Wall Street anticipated. To compete with stores like Costco and Walmart offering goods at lower prices, Whole Foods has announced plans for a new store concept named for its private label line, 365, which will also sell some branded goods aimed at millennial shoppers. Matt Rogers, associate global produce coordinator at Whole Foods, said: “This program is our reaction to a fast-moving marketplace. None of that reduces the value of organic certification — it’s just there are more things now on the table that we as buyers have to understand and address.” STEPHANIE STROM
A Chief Returns to Twitter, to Shrugs and Quips SAN FRANCISCO — For the last two years, the normally dapper Jack Dorsey has hardly been seen at the offices of Twitter, the social networking company he co-founded, even though he works a block away. He shocked many when he returned on Thursday with a beard so wild that his own mother made fun of it in a tweet. “He looked like a mountain man back from the wilderness,” not the incoming leader of one of the world’s largest social networks, said one person who has worked with Dorsey in the past but spoke on condition of anonymity. The 38-year-old Dorsey is a figure of legend to newer Twitter employees, and remembered with varying degrees of fondness and fear by those who worked with him in his earlier stints there. Twitter unexpectedly announced Thursday that Dorsey
will become its interim chief executive while the company’s board searches for a replacement for Dick Costolo, who will step down from the C.E.O. role on July 1. As the man who sent the first tweet in 2006 and a product visionary who led the company in its early years, Dorsey helped make the micro-messaging service into a global platform that now has more than 300 million active users. But Dorsey was also a key player in the executive turmoil that has plagued the company’s throughout its existence, most recently in 2011 when he briefly oversaw product development after he helped install Costolo as chief executive in a boardroom coup that ousted another co-founder, Evan Williams, from the job. While Dorsey was the driving force for many of Twitter’s
product innovations during that time, such as the ability to embed tweets on other sites, he was also a polarizing figure, firing key product managers and fostering an atmosphere of secrecy and paranoia, according to current and former associates. The general feeling among Twitter employees now is trepidation, and Wall Street was unimpressed. Twitter’s stock was flat in Friday trading as investors considered the news. “Jack is obviously considered a product visionary and could really lead the acceleration of the cadence of product releases,” said Robert Peck, an analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey who had predicted that Costolo would not last much longer as chief executive. “But the company is in turmoil and to have a C.E.O. who is only part-time involved is a concern.” (NYT)

Two Painters Clash in Russia
UNIVERSAL PICTURES
Chris Pratt as Owen, an animal expert, in “Jurassic World,” directed by Colin Trevorrow.
A Hungry Franchise Feeds the Beast Clomp, clomp, clomp — here it comes, another new blockbuster ready for its shock-and-awe chching close-up. With its global brand recognition, “Jurassic World” comes with more muscle than the average big-ticket behemoth, one that’s been built on best-selling novels, three earlier flicks, theme-park attractions and the usual marketing tie-ins. Once again, dinosaurs are on the roam, an unpeaceable kingdom that is an index of the folly of man trying to play God. In reality, there’s more flab than muscle packed on this galumphing franchise reboot, which, as it lumbers from scene to scene, reminds you of what a great action god Steven Spielberg is. Too bad he didn’t take the reins on this. Spielberg may not have directed “Jurassic World,” but his fingerprints — and anxiety over his influence — are all over it. He’s one of its executive producers and gave his blessing to the director Colin Trevorrow, who has just one other feature on his résumé, the indie “Safety Not Guaranteed.” As is the case with every filmmaker hired to lead an industrial brand to box-office domination, Trevorrow was principally tasked with delivering “Jurassic World” in salable shape, which he has done. Actors repeat their bad lines without smirking, and digital dinosaurs stomp, scatter and gulp amid product placements for Triumph motorcycles and Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville chain. There are so many plugs for Mercedes that you may wonder if the targeted viewers are studio executives. That would be par for the course in an entertainment that’s as relentlessly reflexive as this one. Cinema is an insistently self-referential art (movies about movies being just one example), and filmmakers have long enjoyed drawing attention to the fact that, hey, you’re watching the big screen. Given Spielberg’s heavy shadow, it’s no surprise that “Jurassic World” almost immediately if obliquely nods at antecedents, including the first two he directed, with a character in the new one stating that “every time we’ve unveiled a new attraction attendance has spiked.” She’s talking about the movie’s dinosaur theme park, but she might as well be referring to all the special effects and other blockbuster add-ons that moviemakers use to try to blow the audience’s collective mind. Blowing minds rather than, you know, telling a good story is the driving imperative in “Jurassic World,” which takes place on an island turned luxu-
ry resort where thousands enjoy a very special kind of eco-tourism. There, the usual suspects convene, including a pair of bland young brothers (Nick Robinson, Ty Simpkins), avatars for the sought-after demographic; the usual odd-couple cuties (Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt); and some standard-issue villainy that exists to feed the dinosaurs and our bloodlust. It’s a measure of how dumbed-down this movie is that while the three heroes in “Jurassic Park” were scientists, Pratt plays Owen, an indeterminate animal expert, and Howard plays Claire, a corporate stooge whose idiocy is partly telegraphed by her towering heels. The heels come across as a joke, or at least that’s how the filmmakers attempt to skew them, with Owen telling Claire that they’re “ridiculous.” That Claire can actually run from dinosaurs, over concrete and through mud, without breaking a heel off or twisting her ankle like a film-noir dame, is played as a kind of triumph. Of course it’s a hollow one and it’s representative of how the filmmakers like to point out the very clichés (genre, gender, whatever) they embrace, as if merely acknowledging them were a critical move. Dolling Claire up so preposterously is a glib tactic, although it’s unclear if the filmmakers were trying to tweak politically correct sensibilities or thought they were being clever, or maybe both. Owen may be a parody of a hunk, what with his greasy workingman hands, shirt-busting arm muscles and nicely coiffed chin hair, but at least he does cool stuff like wrangle raptors and, spoiler alert, Claire. She mostly just schemes and screams, before Owen melts her like an ice cube on a hot griddle. Part of the pleasure of “Jurassic Park” is how seamlessly Spielberg’s deep love of movies worked with what was, back in 1993, bleeding-edge computer-generated imagery: the dinosaurs were cool, and the filmmaking fluid and vigorous. It’s a resolutely old-fashioned Hollywood adventure movie in many ways, but one that felt (feels) paradoxically alive because of Spielberg’s filmmaking talents and his absolute faith in movies. “Jurassic World,” by contrast, isn’t in dialogue with its cinematic reference points; it’s fossilized by them. From the first shot of a dinosaur hatching (signaling new beginnings, etc.) to one of a massive aquatic creature chowing down on a great white shark (get it?), it is clear that the only colossus that’s making the ground shake here is Steven Spielberg. MANOHLA DARGIS
Set primarily in revolutionary-era Russia, Alexander Mitta’s “Chagall-Malevich” centers on the painter Marc Chagall and fictionalizes his real-life efforts to establish an artistic bulwark amid war and ideological ferment. It’s a literally colorful and playful attempt to portray battlefields of artistic ambition and political struggle. But its dialogue and characters are also written as subtly as a radical manifesto. Wartime upheaval leads Chagall (Leonid Bichevin) to return to his hometown, Vitebsk, with his sweetheart, Bella (Kristina Schneidermann). There he starts a government-sanctioned art school under the watch of a military commissar, Naum (Semyon Shkalikov), an old friend who pines for Bella. Instead of the international ambassador that Chagall would become in later years, Mitta gives us something like a Jewish folk hero who takes the risk of forging a distinct artistic and personal identity during the throes of the Bolshevik Revolution. Among the to-and-fro of school and town intrigue, the film’s color filters and canted camera angles create shallow, crowded spaces that echo Chagall’s roiling canvases. When the Suprematism pioneer Kazimir Malevich (Anatoly Beliy) arrives to teach at Chagall’s school, Mitta even sends animated bars of color streaming through shots. But Malevich’s dogmatism about abstract art also confirms that Mitta’s actors will primarily function as didactic representatives of certain viewpoints. That’s a shame because Mitta stages some nifty fantasias, like a shadowy bathhouse brawl that amusingly doubles as a physical debate over Western portrayals of the human body. (NYT)

MOVIE
BIRDMAN Review By MC3 D’Artanyan Ratley
5/5 STARS
B
irdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is a spectacular movie that depicts society’s grotesque need to be relevant and what one man is willing to do to regain his self-worth. Michael Keaton stars as Riggan Thomson, a washed-up actor whose anger, greed and ego has driven everyone in his life to shun him. Thomson, a former superhero movie star, tries to reinvent himself by writing, directing and starring in a Broadway adaptation of Raymond Carver’s short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” Thomson desperately tries to redeem himself in the eyes of his family and, most importantly, the public, while every aspect of the production falls apart. Keaton’s role truly mimics his own life as he once starred in Tim Burton’s massive Batman films, only to quit the franchise. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Birdman brings magic back to the movies by drawing the viewer in through one continuous take (with the help of some digital editing). The camera
never makes a cut, keeping you glued to a continuous sequence that prowls through the streets of New York. The movie is filled with plot-twists and monologues that truly connect with the audience’s feelings of love, fear, and life, asking with its opening line of “how did we end up here?” The star-studded cast gels incredibly well, and gives some of the most hilariously raw and thought-provoking performances of their careers. Edward Norton plays Mike Shiner, an acclaimed volatile-yetbrilliant method actor who only finds his true self when he is on the stage. Naomi Watts and Andrea Riseborough are perfect as actresses riddled with insecurities as they strive to make it on the Broadway stage. Zach Galifianakis rounds out the cast playing Jake, Riggan’s lawyer and best friend, who tries to keep the production, and Riggan, on track as the pressure mounts leading up to opening night. It is Emma Stone’s extraordinary portrayal of Samantha Thomson, Riggan’s daughter, that’s widely hailed by critics and
is truly a breakout performance for the young actress. Samantha is a recovering drug addict and acts as her father’s assistant. Stone’s character is the embodiment of today’s youth and an example of what many American adults fear and fail to understand; a life that’s filled with status updates and tweets, giving immense power to an adolescent with a phone and a pair of thumbs. Stone scathingly berates her father for his failures, while puncturing his pretensions with a monologue that’s slices like a knife to the gut. But while the words are furious, it’s her involuntary wince of sadness that forces you to feel her point. Many films claim to be different - “Birdman” is. As the unyielding action unfolds, there is a never-ending feeling of uneasiness and anxiety as Riggan nears a mental breakdown and commercial failure. Riggan’s addiction to celebrity is compounded by continual visits from his subconscious hallucination of the gravel-voiced superhero he once portrayed, ordering him to reclaim his movie star status and abandon his futile attempt at credibility. The scenery is musically
YOU
DID KNOW?
underlined with nuances of orchestral waves and schizophrenic jazz drumming. Characters roam the theater passageways and New York streets, and as you accompany Riggan with his hallucinations, you find yourself wondering if any of this is truly real. Birdman won a well-deserved four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Original Screenplay, and Cinematography. It is easy to see why Michael Keaton was nominated for Best Actor, and Emma Stone and Edward Norton were nominated in Best Supporting Acting categories for their roles. It’s clear that everyone involved in this powerful motion picture worked tirelessly to make the intricate thrill ride look effortless. Birdman is a funny, fast-moving story about fame and ambition, laid out for us with care by a gifted filmmaker and a world-class cinematographer. The result is a delirious and exciting foray into narcissism. It is one of the best times you will have watching a movie this year and it might even be one of the best movies of the decade. Birdman will be playing on channel 68 at 1530.
BIRDMAN WAS SHOT LIKE A PLAY, SHOOTING IN SEQUENCE WITH VERY FEW CUTS
B
irdman proceeded down many roads that are rarely traveled by films of this generation. The film’s director, Alejandro
Gonzalez Inarritu, sent a photo to the cast of Philippe Petit walking on the tightrope between the Twin Towers and told them, “Guys, this is the movie we are doing. If we fall, we fail.” What he is refering to was a strenuous work schedule that required the film to operate more as a play than a movie. At most points of filming, Inarritu required the cast to perform 15 pages of dialogue at a time while hitting precisely choreographed marks. Given this unusual style of filming long takes, actors Edward Norton and Michael Keaton kept a running tally of mistakes made by the actors. Emma Stone made the most mistakes and Zack Galifinakis made the fewest. He messed up a good amount of lines during filming but played them off well enough that they made it into the final cut. The movie was so carefully rehearsed and shot in sequence that there are only sixteen visible cuts in the entire film, filming only took two months and editing only took two weeks, which is abnormally short on all accounts. - via (IMDB.com)
