Gingold M: Armies of the Night

Armies of the Night

The Warriors and Its Legacy

This is a book on the films of Christopher Nolan, who is internationally well-known by his film Oppenheimer. The analysis of the corpus formed by Christopher Nolan's works allows us to derive its poetics. The key to this is provided by the magic tricks script in The Prestige. All of Nolan's films from Insomnia onwards are influenced by this aspect. The analysis not only shows how outstanding Nolan's films are, but they also prove to be surprisingly political. Other key topics in this analysis: the attack on the Kiev Opera house in Tenet and the Russian war against Ukraine in 2022; the references in Inception on Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris; the relation of the dead female characters in Nolan's films to Edgar Allan Poe's The Philosophy of Composition; in Nolan's later films, the canary birds of The Prestige transformed into planes; the escape from earth in Interstellar complemented by the evacuation in Dunkirk; the interdependencies between Interstellar and Zack Snyder's Man of Steel; neoliberalism reflected in Michael Mann's thriller Thief; the allusions in Tenet on the James Bond film Skyfall by Sam Mendes.

John Ford at Work: Production Histories 1927–1939 explores the evolution of John Ford's career in the Hollywood studio system of the 1930s as the system itself changed in response to the coming of sound and the business downtown instigated by the Depression. Based upon a decade of research utilizing the studio files of Twentieth Century-Fox, RKO and Samuel Goldwyn, it delineates the director's collaborations with the producers, screen- writers, actors and cinematographers that had the most impact on his production practices. It traces the major literary, cinematic and musical sources from which he drew. It considers relevant changes in film technology and seeks to explain how they were incorporated into his style. Films analyzed include 4 Sons, The Black Watch, Arrowsmith, Air Mail, The Lost Patrol, The Informer, Judge Priest, Steamboat Round the Bend, The Prisoner of Shark Island, Wee Willie Winkie, Stagecoach and Young Mr. Lincoln.

Screen Space Reconfigured is the first edited volume that critically and theoretically examines the many novel renderings of space brought to us by 21st century screens. Exploring key cases such as post-perspectival space, 3D, vertical framing, haptics, and layering, this volume takes stock of emerging forms of screen space and spatialities as they move from the margins to the centre of contemporary media practice. Recent years have seen a marked scholarly interest in spatial dimensions and conceptions of moving image culture, with some theorists claiming that a 'spatial turn' has taken place in media studies and screen practices alike. Yet this is the first book-length study dedicated to on-screen spatiality as such. Spanning mainstream cinema, experimental film, video art, mobile screens, and stadium entertainment, the volume includes contributions from such acclaimed authors as Giuliana Bruno and Tom Gunning as well as a younger generation of scholars.

What do Vincent Price, Harrison Ford, Jackie Chan, and Uma Thurman all have in common with Frank Lloyd Wright? Answer: The Movies.﻿The influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on architecture can't be overstated, and his unique creations have also left a lasting impression on movie audiences. From the Marin County Civic Center's starring role in George Lucas's first feature film to the famous Ennis House appearing in multiple movies, eight of Wright's California buildings have served as dramatic settings for stories about power, wealth and dystopian futures. Inspiring generations of filmmakers, these sites--both public and private--remain some of the most iconic places captured on film. With behind-the-scenes production facts and a peek into Wright's design process, author Mark Anthony Wilson recounts the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture in the movies.This book features: <ul><li>120 color and black and white images, including scenes from popular Hollywood films such as Blade Runner, Black Rain and A Summer Place, as well as cult favorites like House on Haunted Hill, Permanent Midnight, and Cannibal Women in The Avocado Jungle of Death.</li><li>Little known facts about how Frank Lloyd Wright's work influenced Alfred Hitchcock and about Wright's friendship with Walt Disney and his comments about some of Disney's most famous films.</li><li>Detailed information about how to visit those Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in this book that are open to the public.</li><li>The controversies created by several of these films that caused members of some audiences to leave the theater in moral outrage and caused other audiences to scream in horror.</li><li>Behind-the-scenes comments by Hollywood directors and producers about why they chose to use Frank Lloyd Wright buildings or design features in their films.</li><li>A look at how Frank Lloyd Wright's design philosophy influenced the style of Hollywood films and how some of his strong-willed female clients got him to change the design of their homes.</li><li>Why Frank Lloyd Wright was accused of being a "communist sympathizer" and "un-American" near the end of his career, and why this nearly derailed the construction of one of his most famous buildings.</li></ul>

What Black Panther Reveals about Psychology, Identity, and Communication

Why Wakanda Matters

In 1995--one hundred years after the birth of cinema in Paris--a Vatican-appointed commission compiled a list of forty-five significant films. The entries vary widely, ranging from light-hearted favorites like The Wizard of Oz to challenging arthouse features such as The Seventh Seal. This list, released under Pope St. John Paul II, was an important milestone in the dialogue between the Church and the wider culture. Yet for many Catholics and cinephiles alike, it remains undiscovered or unclear. What was the list for? And why did the commission choose these particular titles? In this groundbreaking study, David Paul Baird, Andrew Petiprin, and Michael Ward walk readers through the entire Vatican List, film by film. The authors show that its aim was not to serve as a "best-ever" register, nor as an anthology of approved works; rather, it was to guide people in an appreciation of cinema as an artistic language and a bearer of spiritual and moral messages. In addition to theologically and historically informed commentary, each chapter includes film stills, quotations, fun facts, and questions for further reflection and discussion. Elevated yet entertaining, Popcorn with the Pope is perfect for anyone interested in delving deeper into a Christian approach to movies.
