Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Mann (born 1943) is one of the most interesting directors of our time, whose work lies at the intersection of the mainstream cinema and the avant-garde, of public entertainment and private obsession. Throughout his career, Mann has moved freely between television and cinema: he produced 'Miami Vice' and 'Crime Story' - two of the most successful TV series of the 1980's - in addition to directing the historical epic 'The Last of the Mohican's (1992), the biopic 'Ali'(2001), and more recently the crime thriller 'Collateral (2004) and the gangster drama 'Public Enemies' (2009). Although varied in genre, Mann's films often share the same preoccupations and style: the depiction of solitary men in conflict with the society in which they live.

Download or read book Time is Luck written by James Slaymaker and published by Telos Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2022-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is Luck: The Cinema of Michael Mann approaches director Michael Mann's work through the lens of transformations in labour practices, technologies of seeing, and strategies of dissent over the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Applying extensive textual analysis to each of Mann's features, this study explores how these transformations are reflected in the filmmaker's output, formally and thematically. As much as Mann expresses anguish at the pervasive nature of technologically advanced systems which exist to exploit the common man, curtail civil liberties, and prop up corrupt regimes, there always remains space for protest and resistance in his cinema. This aspect of Mann's art is essential to keep in mind and is too often ignored: the filmmaker being accused of nihilism or anti-humanism. This book covers all of Mann's major films, with extensive critical commentaries, while comparing and contrasting the styles, the characters and the themes. An essential read for all fans of Mann's work, and those interested in the textual and visual history of the very best that cinema can offer. Includes analyis of: The Jericho Mile (1979); Thief (1981); The Keep (1983); Manhunter (1986); The Last of the Mohicans (1992); Heat (1995); The Insider (1999); Ali (2001); Collateral (2004); Miami Vice (2006); Public Enemies (2009); Blackhat (2015).
Download or read book Michael Mann written by Steven Rybin and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Mann first made his mark as a writer for such television programs as Starsky and Hutch, Police Story, and Vegas. In 1981 he made his feature film directing debut with the James Caan thriller Thief, and in the 1980s he served as a writer and executive producer for the groundbreaking programs Miami Vice and Crime Story. Though he has delved into other genres, Mann’s career as a writer, producer, and director has consistently focused on criminal activity, from small-time hoods and professional thieves to corporate manipulators and serial killers. In Michael Mann: Crime Auteur, Steven Rybin looks at the television programs and films that Mann has stamped with his personal signature. This book closely examines the themes and techniques used in films such as Manhunter, Heat, The Insider, and Collateral and connects these elements to his work on the non-genre films The Last of the Mohicans and Ali. A revised and significantly expanded edition of The Cinema of Michael Mann (2007), this book includes new chapters on Public Enemies and the big screen version of Miami Vice, as well as Mann’s work on the shows Crime Story and Luck. Covering Mann’s entire career, this book will be of interest to fans of the writer/director’s body of work as well as to scholars of both film and television.

Book excerpt: Their mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. "They are the true unsung heroes of the war." -- Lt. Col. Steven Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. "I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous." -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules.
