Produktinformationen zu „Magnolia (ePub)“
There are certain films and shows that resonate with audiences
everywhere--they generate discussion and debate about
everything from gender, class, citizenship and race, to consumerism
and social identity. This new 'teachable canon' of film and
television introduces students to alternative classics that range
from silent film to CSI.
* Magnolia is one of those films students know and love. From the
over-the-top performances by male and female leads to the "ripped
from the pages of the Old Testament" conclusion, it is a cult
favorite in American cinema
* This is the first book to examine the diverse themes,
performances, and influences on this polarizing film, encouraging
students to look beyond the film's style in order to fully engage
with questions about its substance
* Lane develops a careful analysis of the film, its director, as
well as the contemporary context in which it was produced -
exploring topics including the role of the auteur, what constitutes
cinema / media literacy in the digital age, the politics of
postmodernism, and the film's critique of the mass media - in order
to challenge students to ask themselves why they are so riveted by
this controversial and unusual film
