{"product_id":"film-theory-and-contemporary-hollywood-movies-9780415962629","title":"Film Theory and Contemporary Hollywood Movies","description":"In this volume, contributors explore recent popular movies through the lens of film theory, beginning with industrial-economic analysis before moving into a predominately aesthetic and interpretive framework. The Hollywood films discussed cover a wide range from \u003cem\u003e300\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eFifty First Dates\u003c\/em\u003e, from \u003cem\u003eBrokeback Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e, from \u003cem\u003eSpider-Man 3\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eFahrenheit 9\/11\u003c\/em\u003e, from \u003cem\u003eSaw\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eRaiders of the Lost Ark\u003c\/em\u003e, and much more. Individual essays consider such topics as the rules that govern new blockbuster franchises, the 'posthumanist realism' of digital cinema, video game adaptations, increasingly restricted stylistic norms, the spatial stories of social networks like YouTube, the mainstreaming of queer culture, and the cognitive paradox behind enjoyable viewing of traumatic events onscreen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Warren Buckland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415962629\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarren Buckland\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Film Studies at Oxford Brookes University.
