Join CARRIE KEAGAN for another exclusive and
uncensored episode of NO GOOD TV's UP CLOSE
featuring the cast and director of the movie
Berkeley part 1.
Berkeley is the story of Ben Sweet (Nick
Roth), an eighteen year old middleclass boy
who comes to UC Berkeley in 1968 to study
accounting and avoid the draft. There begins
an odyssey through sex, drugs, rock and roll,
and political activism which turns his
conservative world upside down, and leaves
him on a path of exploration and
self-discovery, far from the life of his
father, Sy (Henry Winkler).
Director's Statement
Why did I make this film? Why does anyone
make any film? I thought it was relevant, and
it was a journey for me to explore why I
became who I've become. At eighteen, I was an
innocent. I won't say my whole peer group
was, but we weren't afraid of so many
things... we were curious, hopeful, and as I
engaged in the anti-war movement I felt more
empowered. I thought I could have it all...
make great political films, travel, be an
intellectual and part of a socialist
revolution.
Like my protagonist, I went to college
because it was expected of me. It was an
easier choice, because I needed the student
deferment to avoid going to Viet Nam. In high
school I defended my dad's Republicanism, and
within two years I was calling him a
"capitalist pig."
After I had dealt with my divorce in JACK THE
DOG, and my sisters murder in MANHOOD, I felt
I should make a film about my transformation
from nice, middleclass Jewish boy to
long-haired radical filmmaker; not because I
thought myself so remarkable, but because I
thought I was so very much a symbol of my
generation. At the same time, my son, Nick
was entering college and had decided to go to
Berkeley and study Philosophy.
It seemed a wonderful idea to collaborate
with Nick and revisit a time like no other.
Looking back, my choices seemed so arbitrary.
I remembered a great deal, but understood
very little.
All I knew was I started college as a
conservative who would play golf and go into
his dad's carpet business, and ended it
uncertain, having abandoned golf and
exploring the possibility that I might be a
poet or a novelist. I still have my doubts,
but thirty-five years later I remain grateful
for every young man and woman who crossed my
path. They all left their mark on my memory,
and guided me a bit to the music. At Berkeley
I learned to fly.

| Berkeley Bionics Human Exoskeleton |
 |
Berkeley Bionicsâ„¢, designs and manufactures
lower extremity exoskeletons to augment human
strength and endurance during locomotion.
Berkeley Bionics exoskeletons increase
wearer's strength while decreasing their
metabolic cost of walking. The company is
also attacking the technological barriers to
a practical, affordable exoskeleton for
civilian and medical applications,
particularly to assist patients with
neurological or muscular mobility disorders.
These powered human exoskeletons would allow
their wearers to walk upright without the
strain and muscular effort required by
today's unpowered orthotic devices.

| Busby Berkeley By A Waterfall |
 |
Busby Berkeley outdid himself with this
extravagant water production number from the
1933 movie "Footlight Parade" starring Ruby
Keeler, Dick Powell, Joan Blondell and James
Cagney.
The new Hays Production Code was widely
ignored from 1930 to 1933, but the "nudity"
in this sequence is more simulated than it is
real. Nevertheless, it was a violation of the
1930 code which was eventually abandoned in
1967 in favor of the MPAA film rating system.
The extensive overhead shots are typical of
those later used by MGM for Esther Williams.
June Taylor dancers, eat your hearts out.

| Death Cab for Cutie at Berkeley - Transatlanticism |
 |
Filmed 12 Aug 2006 at The Greek Theater in
Berkeley, CA. The song was made even more
special by the entrance of opening band Mates
of State (Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel) to
help out with the final choruses.
After hearing Death Cab play Tiny Vessels
earlier in this set, I was happy to hear them
follow up with Transatlanticism, as the two
songs juxtapose one another so nicely. In
Tiny Vessels, Ben sings about being with
someone he doesn't really even care about,
while in Transatlanticism, he sings about a
distance between him and the object of his
desire. A distance that seems
insurmountable...
"those people were overjoyed; they took to
their boats.
I thought it less like a lake and more like a
moat.
the rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood
lands
to your door have been silenced forever more.
the distance is quite simply much too far for
me to row
it seems farther than ever before".
Anyone who has felt the pain of a long
distance relationship can understand how he
feels. And when they go into the final
chorus...."I need you so much
closer"....well, this song was made to be
sung live....an anthemic ode to be shared
with an audience. Listening to it the first
time on the album, I could picture them
performing this live...as the crowd swayed,
sang along, and held their lighters and cell
phones to the sky...
