Book Synopsis Making Patton by : Nicholas Evan Sarantakes
Download or read book Making Patton written by Nicholas Evan Sarantakes and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forever known for its blazing cinematic image of General George S. Patton (portrayed by George C. Scott) addressing his troops in front of a mammoth American flag, Patton won seven Oscars in 1971, including those for Best Picture and Best Actor. In doing so, it beat out a much-ballyhooed M*A*S*H, irreverent darling of the critics, and grossed $60 million despite an intense anti-war climate. But, as Nicholas Evan Sarantakes reveals, it was a film that almost didn't get made. Sarantakes offers an engaging and richly detailed production history of what became a critically acclaimed box office hit. He takes readers behind the scenes, even long before any scenes were ever conceived, to recount the trials and tribulations that attended the epic efforts of producer Frank McCarthy—like Patton a U.S. Army general—and Twentieth Century Fox to finally bring Patton to the screen after eighteen years of planning. Sarantakes recounts how filmmakers had to overcome the reluctance of Patton's family, copyright issues with biographers, competing efforts for a biopic, and Department of Defense red tape. He chronicles the long search for a leading man—including discussions with Burt Lancaster, John Wayne, and even Ronald Reagan—before settling on Scott, a brilliant actor who brought to the part both enthusiasm for the project and identification with Patton's passionate persona. He also tracks the struggles to shoot the movie with a large multinational cast, huge outlays for military equipment, and filming in six countries over a mere six months. And he provides revealing insider stories concerning, for example, Scott's legendary drinking bouts and the origins of and debate over his famous opening monologue. Drawing on extensive research in the papers of Frank McCarthy and director Franklin Schaffner, studio archives, records of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, contemporary journalism, and oral histories, Sarantakes ultimately shows us that Patton is more than just one of the best war films ever made. Culturally, it also spoke to national ideals while exposing complex truths about power in the mid-twentieth century.

Download or read book Poder absoluto written by Prieto Mir, Pep and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lo largo de su historia compartida, cine y política han mantenido una relación muy estrecha, que va de la mutua necesidad al juego de espejos. El cine ha documentado la evolución social y política de las distintas sociedades, pero también ha sido utilizado como instrumento de propaganda ideológica. Al mismo tiempo, la política se ha ido contagiando de la narrativa cinematográfica y ha emulado a los héroes de la ficción. Conocer el cine político es entender la diferencia entre denuncia y demagogia, entre posicionamiento y doctrina, y ver, a través de géneros muy dispares, que la política está presente en toda película de ayer y de hoy. En este libro se propone un recorrido por el cine y la política a través de 50 títulos, algunos muy populares y otros urgidos de una reivindicación, que ejemplifican su vínculo. Y los hay que son fundamentalmente políticos aunque no parezcan pertenecer al género.

Download or read book Inspecting Jews written by Laurence Roth and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inthis book, Laurence Roth argues that the popular genre of Jewish detective stories offers new insights into the construction of ethnic and religious identity. Roth frames his study with the concept of "kosher hybridity" to look at the complex process of mediation between Jewish and American culture in which Jewish writers voice the desire to be both different from and yet the same as other Americans. He argues that the detective story, located at the intersection of narrative and popular culture in modern America, examines the need for order in a disorderly society, and thus offers a window into the negotiation of Jewish identity differing from that of literary fiction. The writers of these popular cultural texts, which are informed by contradiction and which thrive on intended and unintended ironies, formulate idioms for American Jewish identities that intentionally and unintentionally create social, ethnic, and religious syntheses in American Jewish life. Roth examines stories about American Jewish detectives--including Harry Kemelman's Rabbi Small, Faye Kellerman's Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus, Stuart Kaminsky's Abe Lieberman, and Rochelle Krich's Jessica Drake--not only as a genre of literature but also as a reflection of contemporary acculturation in the American Jewish popular arts.
