キャストの組み合わせ魅力 1月CM好感度 Sankei Web.com
2/27/2007

 平成19年の最初の1位は、渡哲也と木村拓哉のコンビの日本コカ・コーラ「ジョージア」。相変わらずの人気ぶりだ。

 そして2位となったのが、♪とってもいいじゃんって切り捨てコギャル という歌が印象的なグリコ「ポッキー」。

 意味不明だが妙に耳に残る歌詞と、新垣結衣のポッキーを使った踊りには中毒性があり、頭の中で回り始めると止まらない。データを見ると、男女ともに子供から40代までの幅広い世代から支持されている。きっとみんなの頭の中でもぐるぐる回っているのだろう。

 3位には明石家さんまと松岡修造が、大笑いしながら似顔絵作成ゲームに興じる任天堂の「Wii」がランクイン。ゲームが複雑になりすぎたという反省から開発されただけあって、毎回、ゲームの実演シーンを前面に出した作りが特徴的だ。他のゲームCMは、CGアニメのような映像が流れるだけで、何のゲームなのかさっぱり分からないが、このゲームの魅力は笑い転げるさんまと松岡の姿を見るだけで十分伝わってくる。

 好感度の要因では、15分野のうち「商品にひかれた」「時代の先端を感じた」「企業姿勢にウソがない」の3分野で1位となっており、商品のポリシーとCMがうまく連携したようだ。

 柳楽(やぎら)優弥とYOUを使ったダイハツ「ミラ」のCMは6位に入った。映画「誰も知らない」で親子を演じた2人をそのまま起用したもので、演出も同じく是枝裕和監督が務めている。

 仲のいい親子の“子離れ”の瞬間を描いたほのぼのとしたCMだが、映画は戸籍を持たず、YOUが演じる母に捨てられた柳楽が弟妹とともに生きていく、という痛ましい物語だった。

 それだけに、映画を見た人々から「同じキャストを使ってこんなCMを作るのは悪趣味」という意見もあるようだ。しかし筆者は、彼ら親子の「あったかもしれない幸せな日々」を見ることができて、少しばかりほっとした。

Is This Jesus's Tomb?

Is This Jesus's Tomb?
Time.com
2/26/2007

There were two types of fame on display at the press conference Monday morning in a grand, sky-lit room at the back of the New York Public library. There was director James Cameron, towering like a a six foot-plus druidic monolith in a dark jacket and black turtleneck. And there was a light tan limestone box about two feet long lying on a table in front of Cameron — which the Titanic director was presenting as the burial box of Jesus Christ. All things being equal, we know who would be the bigger draw. (It was John Lennon who said he was bigger than Jesus, not Cameron, right?) But all things were not equal. Those in the room knew that Cameron was provably authentic. The other guy? Much more problematic.

Cameron (acting as producer), biblical film documentarian Simcha Jacobovici and a handful of their expert consultants were at the Library to publicize Jacobovici's The Jesus Family Tomb, which will run this Sunday on the Discovery Channel, and a HarperSanfrancisco book of the same name. Their claim is that there was indeed a Jesus family tomb in what is now suburban Jerusalem: and that the two bone boxes on the table in front of them, exported from Israel, had contained the remains of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, whom the filmmakers assert was Jesus's wife and the mother of a son named Judah. Meet the Jesuses! Cameron told the press that when Jacobovici, who has been working on the project for years, laid it out for him in detail, he thought, "I'm not a biblical scholar, but it seemed pretty darned compelling." He added, "I said, this is the biggest achaeology story of the century. And I still believe that to be true."

If true, of course, it is more than that. If true, it is a contradiction, in the most earthy, concrete way, of the Bible, which claims that Jesus was taken up bodily into heaven.

But as its creators have revealed more and more of it over the last two days, key parts of it seem increasingly like debatable conjecture.

Here's the set-up. In 1980 a construction crew in the Jerusalem suburb of Talpiot chanced upon a first-century tomb, which are not uncommon in that city. The Israeli Antiquities Authority found 10 bone boxes there, and stored them in a warehouse. Some bore inscribed names: Jesus, son of Joseph; Maria; Mariamene e Mara; Matthew; Judas, son of Jesus; and Jose. Each name with the exception of Mariamene seemed common to their period, and it was only in 1996 that the BBC made a film suggesting that. given the combination, it might be that family. The idea was eventually discounted, however, because, as University of St. Andrews (Scotland) New Testament expert Richard Bauckham asserted in a subsequent book, the names with Biblical resonance are so common that even when you run the probabilities on the group, the odds of it being the famous Jesus's family are "very low."

Jacobovici, however, remained fascinated, and announced at the press conference what he had added to the equation :

—University of North Carolina scholar James Tabor told him that Mariamene was the name some Christians gave to Mary Magdalene. If true, that added a rather uncommon name to the statistical mix. (Or as Cameron put it, "If you found a John, a Paul and a George, you're not going to leap to any conclusions... unless you found a Ringo.").

—Jacobovici also contends that "Jose," a name that appears in the Bible as that of one of Jesus's brothers, is rarer than previous scholars thought.

— He came up with a new process called "patina fingerprinting," which purports to show that a different bone box that popped up in the hands of an Israeli collector some years ago and is alleged to have contained the remains of Jesus's brother James originally came from Talpiot, which would raise the coincidence level even higher.

—And Jacobovici managed to get tests done on DNA from the "Jesus" and "Mariamene" bone-boxes that indicated that they were not related on their mother's sides: therefore, Jacobovici quotes the DNA expert as saying, if this was indeed a family tomb, the two "would most likely have been husband and wife" (which is the source of his contention that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and that the Judah in the tomb was their son).

That last bit alone should give some sense of how problematic some of Jacobovici's conclusions are. A sampling of difficulties:

— If "Jesus" and "Mariamene" weren't related matrilineally, why jump to the conclusion that they were husband and wife, rather than being related through their fathers?

— The first use of "Mariamene" for Magdalene dates to a scholar who was born in 185, suggesting that Magdalene wouldn't have been called that at her death.

— St. Andrews' Bauckham defends his probabilities, noting that Jacobovici was comparing his name-cluster to the rather small sampling of names known to have been found on bone boxes, while his own basis for comparison, which adds names from contemporary literature and other sources, makes the combo far less unusual.

— Asbury Theological Seminary professor Ben Witherington, a early Christianity expert who was deeply involved with the James Ossuary, says there are physical reasons to believe it couldn't have originated in the Talpiot plot.

Darrell Bock, a professor at the conservative Protestant Dallas Seminary, whom the Discovery Channel had vet the film two weeks ago, adds another objection: why would Jesus's family or followers bury his bones in a family plot and "then turn around and preach that he had been physically raised from the dead?" If that objection smacks secular readers as relying too heavily on scripture, then Bock's larger point is still trenchant: "I told them that there were too many assumptions being claimed as discoveries, and that they were trying to connect dots that didn't belong together."

Your move, Mr. Titanic.

Titanic Claim: Jesus Still Dead

Titanic Claim: Jesus Still Dead

2/24/2007

Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you Titanic is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity.

In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected -- the cornerstone of Christian faith -- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene.

No, it's not a re-make of The Da Vinci Code. It's supposed to be true.

Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archaeologists were summoned, and the stone caskets were carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua.

Israel's prominent archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names.

There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection, after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God.

But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family.

Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie, "King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. News about the film, which will be shown soon on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision, and Israel's Channel 8, has been a hot blog topic in the Middle East (check out a personal favorite: Israelity Bites). Here in the Holy Land, Biblical Archeology is a dangerous profession. This 90-minute documentary is bound to outrage Christians and stir up a titanic debate between believers and skeptics. Stay tuned.

J・キャメロン監督“キリストの墓”通説を覆す作品 ZAKZAK 2007/02/27

 イエス・キリストが家族とともに眠る墓を発見か―。イスラエル紙イディオト・アハロノトによると、映画「タイタニック」で米アカデミー賞監督賞を受賞した米国のジェームズ・キャメロン監督らが、キリスト教の通説を覆すドキュメンタリー映画を製作、27日から米英などでテレビ放送される。

 映画がキリストらの墓としているのは、キリストの埋葬地に建てられたとされるエルサレム旧市街の聖墳墓教会から数キロ南で1980年に見つかった墓所。洞穴の中に10の骨つぼがあり、このうち6つにイエス、聖母マリア、弟子だったマグダラのマリアや子供とみられる名前が刻まれていた。

 映画の製作者らは5年がかりで各分野の専門家にインタビューを重ね、調査を尽くしたという。しかし、イスラエル英字紙エルサレム・ポストによると、墓所の調査を担当したイスラエル考古学庁の専門家は、イエスや家族らの名前は当時ありふれており、一緒に見つかっても根拠とはならないとして、キリストの墓とする主張は「あり得ない話でナンセンス」とコメントした。

 キリスト教をめぐっては、キリストがマグダラのマリアと結婚して子供をもうけたとの設定のベストセラー小説、ダ・ヴィンチ・コードが保守派の猛反発を招いた。(共同)
