CARLITO'S WAY Film by Brian DePalma (1993 with Al Pacion, Sean Penn) Al Pacino plays Carlito Brigante, an ex-con who decides to make his new way an honest one in this stylish action thriller from De Palma. But his determination is hampered by the pressure which his crooked lawyer friend (Sean Penn) puts on him, taking advantage of the fact that Carlito feels indebted to him for obtaining his release from prison. Carlito gets back together with his ex-girifriend, a beautiful dancer with whom he had split up because he thought that they would never see each other again, and they dream of getting away to paradise together However, Carlito's association with his lawyer puts his life and liberty in peril; for him, a different kind of joumey beckons. The character of Carlito represent someone who is stuck between two ways: the criminal way of the street, which, represented by his drug-addict lawyer; Carlito now finds unattractive; and the honest way, represented by his girlfriend and by the dream which he shares with her of getting away. But it is being trapped in the middle that threatens to destroy Carlito - he now finds the dishonhest way repulsive, but his history has been to stick by it, and by those in it - and while he continues to do so, he cannot realise his aim of life on the straight and narow.

CHURCHILL, WINSTON (1874-1965); British statesman, soldier, and author. A graduate of Sandhurst, he fought in India, the Sudan, and South Africa. In 1900 he was elected to Parliament. He was the first lord of the admiralty (1911-15) in WWI until discredited by the failure of the Dardanelles campaign, which he had championed. He later served in several cabinet positions in the Liberal government of Lloyd George. A Conservative after 1924, he was chancellor of the exchequer from 1924 to 1929; his revaluation of the pound was a factor leading to the general strike of 1926. Out of office from 1929 to 1939, Churchill issued unheeded warnings of the threat of Nazi Germany. In 1940, seven months after the outbreak of WWII, he replaced Neville Chamberlain as prime minister. His stirring oratory, his energy, and his refusal to make peace with Hitler were crucial to maintaining British resistance from 1940 to 1942. Before the U.S. entry into the war, he met Pres. F.D. Rossevelt at sea. He twice addressed the U.S. Congress, twice went to Moscow, and attended a series of international conferences (e.g., Yalta Conference). After the postwar Labour victory in 1945, he became leader of the opposition. In 1951 he was again elected prime minister; he was knighted in 1953 and retired in 1955. Churchill was the author of many histories, biographies, and memoirs, and in 1953 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature for his writing and his oratory. Churchill called his bouts of depression 'Black Dog' MANICS REFERENCE: 'WINSTON CHURCHILL CAN YOU HEAR MY VOICE' (Black Dog On My Shoulder lyrics) 'CHURCHILL NO DIFFERENT' (The Intense Humming Of Evil lyrics) FOR MORE INFORMATION: Winston Churchill Website
