The Year Of Living Dangerously < WORKING >

Did you know that the production of The Year of Living Dangerously had to flee the Philippines because of death threats against the cast ? Despite the chaos, it became a landmark in the Australian New Wave and made history when Linda Hunt became the first person to win an Oscar for playing a member of the opposite sex (the unforgettable photographer Billy Kwan). It’s 1965 Jakarta, there’s a coup brewing, and Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver have chemistry that is absolutely off the charts. If you haven't seen this one, you're missing a "modern Casablanca."

Drafting the script for The Year of Living Dangerously was almost as dramatic as the movie. Author Christopher Koch wrote an early draft that director Peter Weir didn't like, leading to a "bumpy" collaboration and multiple rewrites.

Since " The Year of Living Dangerously " is such a rich topic—covering the 1978 novel by Christopher Koch and the 1982 Peter Weir film —here are a few draft options for your post, ranging from a deep dive into the history to a quick, punchy recommendation. Option 1: The "Film Buff" Deep Dive

The term "The Year of Living Dangerously" comes from Sukarno's 1964 Independence Day speech.

I just revisited The Year of Living Dangerously (1982). It's fascinating how a movie about the 1965 Indonesian coup feels so relevant to our current world of "information wars" and political instability. The title itself— vivere pericolosamente —was a quote from President Sukarno himself. Whether you’re reading the original novel or watching the film, the question it poses remains the same: In a world falling apart, what is our individual responsibility? Highly recommend for anyone who loves a gritty political thriller that doesn't skimp on the romance. Option 3: The "Drafts & History" Fun Facts Focus: Interesting trivia about the script and music.

    Thanks for a great review Ilpo. It was interesting for me to see what you found useful in the Horizon bundle.

    I bought some Waves plugins and liked them. But got upset by the WUP when I found out about it. I totally buy your argument about that the workers at Waves need to get payed. I think Waves undercommunicate what the WUP is.
    I do love that Waves are supporting their old plugins and keep develop them! As a comparison I bought a plug-in from another company and a few months later that company disappeared from internet and newer came back!
    So Waves are definitely a reliable partner if you like to build a long term professional buissenes.

      Appreciate the thoughtful comment Erik. I agree they could do a better job at communicating what WUP is. I edited the article to include that thought. Thanks!

    I appreciate your points as well Ilpo about maintaining stability in the company and paying employees fairly. I would prefer a different approach however. I have no issue paying an upgrade fee for new or improved features, or for Waves having to adapt their plugins to work in a new OS.
    I don’t like paying an annual fee for no apparent changes or improvements however. I bought a bunch of Waves plugins on sale in 2020 and, when the 1 year purchase date occurred all these plugins stopped working in my DAW. I felt like I was being held hostage to have to renew licenses for no real benefit. Had I known this I probably wouldn’t have bought them.
    I know there are lots of products that provide user access on a monthly or annual leasing arrangement. I have paid for upgrades for DAW improvements, added features in other products etc. on numerous occasions but I don’t want to pay an annual licensing fee for a product that I have already bought unless there is substantive improvement.

      Thanks for sharing your experience David. I completely agree that is not how it should be.

      You are aware that the WUP is not an annual licensing fee though, right? Something has obviously gone wrong for you there, because that is not how it’s supposed to work.

      In which case you should contact Waves support.

      You’re not forced to upgrade ever, unless your system specs have changed so that the version you own doesn’t work with your system anymore.

      I was working quite happily with Waves V9 plugins for many years, until I decided to upgrade to V13.

      So please do get in touch with Waves support, if your system specs haven’t changed there must be something wrong there, and I’m sure they’ll help you out with that.
