Movies about the Movies-Pa

Autor Christopher Ames
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 ian 2008

Hundreds of Hollywood-on-Hollywood movies can be found throughout the history of American cinema, from the days of silents to the present. They include films from genres as far ranging as musical, film noir, melodrama, comedy, and action-adventure. Such movies seduce us with the promise of revealing the reality behind the camera. But, as part of the very industry they supposedly critique, they cannot take us behind the scenes in any true sense. Through close analysis of fifteen critically acclaimed films, Christopher Ames reveals how the idea of Hollywood is constructed and constructs itself. Films discussed: "What Price Hollywood?" (1952), "A Star Is Born" (1937), "Stand-In" (1937), "Boy Meets Girl" (1938), "Sullivan's Travels" (1941), "In a Lonely Place" (1950), "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "The Star" (1950), "Singin' in the Rain" (1952), "The Bad and the Beautiful" (1952), "Pennies from Heaven" (1981), "The Purple Rose of Cairo" (1985), "The Player" (1992), "Last Action Hero" (1993).

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The paradoxes of the Hollywood film about Hollywood are more than simply genre constraints; rather, the paradoxes reveal the nature of Hollywood's--and America's--conflicted cultural stance toward its most powerful narrative medium.
