Kubrick Festiwl Scares Hils

bJ .,_. Jelallaa ne Old Greenbell Thcalre is

showing lhe Stanley Kubrick Festival this week. The tea­lured films are "Lolila," "Full Metal Jacket." and "Clockwork ora,.e.·

"Lolita" is the story of a m•ddle-as,ed profes;o,or (James Mason) who falb m lo\lc with his landlady's (Shelly Winlers) school g1rl daughter (Sue Lyom). Tbe relationship would be com1c if it weren't so pain­ful tO watch. The landlady is a loud hustler and the good pro­fcs!!Qr manics her '" spite of the fact thai he !>till lo'lles the daughter. Nothmg the profeswr d<H:S earns him any credit with the girl. Peter Seller~ has what m1ght be called a cameo in the movie. He plays several roles m the movie, all of them trick.­stcn, The professor finds out that he's been tricked and shoot~ him. Poor professor. He's shot the wrong man. The girl has married another man. The movie gets two stars.

"Full Me1al Jackel" is a tough. hard-nosed look. at Ma­nne boot camp and the U.S. in­volvtment in the Vietnam War. The episode in boot camp is long and grueling hke real boot camp. The drill sergeant is hard on his men as a drill ser­geant should be, bul. as usual. lhcrc's a fat boy who can't do all the drill sergeant demand:. roughly. The boy retaliates roughly. The language 1be drill sergoant uses is realisllc, if ob­Kene.

The second half of "Full Metal Jacket" deals wilh Viel· nam, from the pcrspectjVc: ·of one of the men who's been is­signed as a reporter to Stars and Stripes. h's an interesting per>peclive. As a reporter, he gets to move around a good bit, allowmg us lo sec a lot of lhe horror of the war. He has a dispute with his commanding off1cc:r. The officer assigns him to a combat patrol. in which he gets lost and runs into sniper fire. It's a harrowing. excruci­ating sequence. The movie gets three stars.

The last film is "Clockwork Orange." It's about a punk Brllish thief and h1s ·gang. The<c ·, plenly of nudity. ob­scenily. rape, and violence as we follow along. Eventually. he ~ts caught, sentenced, and Jailed. In his eagerness to get ou1 of jail, he volunteers for an experimental program which of­fers freedom, provided that he goes through an experimental psychologtcal condilioning pro­grant. The thad expects that he'll set out of jail with miai­mal hardsllip. Of coul'5l!, he·· in for several rude shocks. The film ts a hard-hitting satire. h gets three stars.

At the begmning of 1999 public attention intenJified when a new group, .Citizens lo Conser.e and Rellore Indian Creek (CCR1C), formed to prolcct the &tream and wetlands in the =- of the core property. Developers !hen considered scaling back their plans from an upscale retail mall to a more modest "main street .. model that would keep the woodland iniaC!. Anolher issue, whecher or not to con­struct a Beltway interchange to the metro site, was unresolved at year's end. The Greenbelt City Council Oflll'lSCd the concept but bolh county and stale pblilicians authorized engineering environmemal ShJd. ies by the State Highway Administration for such an interchange.

In return, GHI would be eligible for a 10 percent propcny tax credit for approved rehabilit.uion work. and indivKiuals buildmg approved additiom withm the guidelines would qualify for a 10 percent property 1.1x credit. The city's Advisory Planning Board will meet to discu» how best to re­view the process, requirements. and guidelines of the County\ Ht.!l· tone District Dcsignatmn.

to t~h music in Papua New Guinea." is lhe reason Ridge Road resident Betsy Buber gives for leovin& lhe Wuhington areo ia 1993 10 arab lhe brass ring of adventure, fonakina everything familiu and traveling alone to far-otr New Guinea, a disuoc:e of about B.SOO miles. She signed 1

-.yea- COIIII'ICI to teleh music to YOUII8 .people 11 the University o( l'lpUI New Guinea in iii capi­tal city, Port Moresby. It was dur­in& Ibis time that abe found a sc­rioualy ill puppy who came to be the centerpiece of her life. The dog is "Kina. •• the. Australian ''sin&ing dog" she nursed back 10 heollh and brought with her when she returned to America and moved to Greenbelt in 1996.

Alone in New Gu1nea for three years except for her do& and 1

pidaip-En&lish-speaking helper nomed Nop, the soft-spoken Bar­ber. who hu a Ph.D. in music. led 1 choir and taught privlllc sru­donls, clolaea in piano, music his­tory IDd edmomusic41ity, as well

"Klalo" doe Sl-aia& Doc. --..,.a.!..,_,.-u elutes in eor-lraining and lhe history of popular music. She lived in a Jmall concrete house given to her by the university and had the privilese of being inviled by mountain tribespeople to stay in a traditional gra11 house. Gradually, warily, she learned lhe ways and strict rules of lhe tribal people she came 10 admire and, in some cases, love. 1'hcy're all lrlisli," she says, remembering hearing beautiful sinains around campfires at night, watching dancing and lhe crealion of the large, intricate carvings and impeccably woven baskets that now surround her 'in her Greenbelt home.

900 ............ There are 900 different lan-

guoaes, each with iii own alplla­bel, spolten in Papua New ow­by 900 different coastal a•d mountain tribes. Bur luckily· for Dr. Barber, many of the tribol people speak pid&in En&lisb, u did Nop. Mony of the natives who live out in tbe buoh~­scendants of the Chinese, Polyncoians and Africans who mi­grol<d some SO,OOO yean 1&0 10 the beautiful. wild mountainoua ial..-otill live by fishing and fanning in a place where tourism is minimal.

"'riginally," says Barber, "Na· tive people lived on yams and ai spiMCh-like vegetable and wbol· ever animals they could hunt. Fomgnen who came from differ­ent countries introduced tropical fruit plants and brought cotton clothing, warm sweaters and coal&, and cooking ulenlils, which was wonderful. Unfortunately, though, they also disrupted the traditional way of life and. con­vinced the natives that much of their art work was not in line

- 20tiH:enrury progress. Sadly, m.aay artistic treaaurea were burned or left to rot because of thia lllitude."

Papua New Guinea is about lhe size of California, but there are """" people in Sydney, Aua­tnlia, than in this land. The fl111 colonizers were the Portuguese. wha claimed lhe counb)' atarling 110111111 1600, "but !hey sailed by ond didn't even gel off their boob," Bllber says. Two bundled Jeor1 l.ola', lhe Fn:nch came and ldtled a few colonies, followed by the Germans. In the 19th cen· lilly the lln&lish came, followed by die A8(ilnlians. The _,. plt lb iadopendeace in 1978.

Ia Greenbelt, Betsy .Barber tiveo in a peocefuJ house and en­joys the closeness of her neigh­bon. "I especially love lhe lake," uys Barber. "King and I 10 110111111 it nearly every day." Her con- is full of interesting jux..,.itions about life in New Guinea. as when she credits her suy with inspiring her to pick up a lnah and stan paintin&. and 10 conlinue her IIIUiic.

Then there's this: "I loved lhe exrcnclecl family plrl of tribal· iJm...-bow everyone takes c""' of everyone else. One child would hive a reo! father and real mother ond then 25 different pops and 11101111, oil of whom would be re­._ible for it. There might be another SO aunt1es and uncles also.'' s.he says.

Says Barber, "I wun 't soinJ to argue with some­one who waa twirhng a bush knife, so I uked people about her and they told me. take her. They were right. She stayed with me for three whole years. She was illiterate, a master fire builder, a fine weaver, and an ex­celtOJn story·teller '" pidgin En­glish. She become my teleher." . "Nop took me everywhere and

lived in the spare room in my llouse. Her tribe had doc:ided Jbe would hive that room," Barber &aid.

Nop 's people were iqenious, Barber found, remembering "they would buy a bui, get a licenae, and start driving. You could go anywheR for 40 centJ. and every four or live minutes another bus would show up. You didn't hive to woit long. AI the bu& stop, Nop would call out 10 one of her tri........, who wu a driver, and he would invite ua on board wheR we would sit-Nop, King, and l-in a front row ae11 enjoy· ing the drive.

I will never for. set lhe beauty o( !bat night Once Nop and I performed together at a concert, she dancing and play· ing a jew's·harp' while I drummed and sana. We brought the house down."

A Trip 1D lloMol Barber wu invited lO VIlli a

While there, she wil a witness 10 the famed Whip Dancers of Rabaul-youna "en who, after initi.tion, proved they rell no poin during a dance where they were fiercely whipped by thc1r dancins companions. ..They danced toaelher." Buber recalls, "then one dancer stopped and thrusl his hand in the air and the other whipped him with a long rope-like vine."

Borber was up ckloe enoup to see the skin welt on the boy's ann, yet lhe boy beillg whipped didn't bar an eye. 't'rhc dance CODliAUCd aDd the' boy Wll
