Book Synopsis Hollywood’s (m)Other Aperture by : Jaime Bihlmeyer
Download or read book Hollywood’s (m)Other Aperture written by Jaime Bihlmeyer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores how mainstream movies lend themselves to the portrayal of imagery that reflects the earliest stages of human development. Filmmakers take full advantage of this rich, body-centered source of human experience. Avatar, Minority Report, and Annihilation, among the other movies explored in this book, incorporate patterns of images that (re)present pre-Oedipal (m)Others, FEMININITY, and the originary maternal authority. The book explores how mainstream movies increasingly expose mass audiences to signs and resonances from our prelingual intrauterine and extrauterine psychological experiences. In addition, it compares and contrasts how the prelingual experience as depicted in these movies relates to themes of inclusivity that encompass diverse film inquiry, including queer theory, as well as human/nonhuman animal kinship and hybridity. In sum, the text analyses how Hollywood movies depict and integrate the prelingual experience into the commercial cinematic apparatus and how this inspires new understanding of plurality, FEMININITY and originary maternal authority in culture and society.
Book Synopsis The Grove Book of Hollywood by : Christopher Silvester
Download or read book The Grove Book of Hollywood written by Christopher Silvester and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 911 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “treasure trove” of insider accounts of the movie business from its earliest beginnings to the present day—“exceedingly savvy . . . astute and entertaining” (Variety). The Grove Book of Hollywood is a richly entertaining anthology of anecdotes and reminiscences from the people who helped make the City of Angels the storied place we know today. Movie moguls, embittered screenwriters, bemused outsiders such as P. G. Wodehouse and Evelyn Waugh, and others all have their say. Organized chronologically, the pieces form a history of Hollywood as only generations of insiders could tell it. We encounter the first people to move to Hollywood, when it was a dusty village on the outskirts of Los Angeles, as well as the key players during the heyday of the studio system in the 1930s. We hear from victims of the blacklist and from contemporary players in an industry dominated by agents. Coming from a wide variety of sources, the personal recollections range from the affectionate to the scathing, from the cynical to the grandiose. Here is John Huston on his drunken fistfight with Errol Flynn; Cecil B. DeMille on the challenges of filming The Ten Commandments; Frank Capra on working for the great comedic producer Mark Sennett; William Goldman on the strange behavior of Hollywood executives in meetings; and much more. “A masterly, magnificent anthology,” The Grove Book of Hollywood is a must for anyone fascinated by Hollywood and the film industry (Literary Review, London).
Book Synopsis Margaret in Hollywood by : Darcy O'Brien
Download or read book Margaret in Hollywood written by Darcy O'Brien and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of a rebellious young actress in the early twentieth century, by the PEN/Hemingway Award–winning author of A Way of Life, Like Any Other. Back in the days when Shakespeare still meant something to a lot of people, I wanted to be a great dramatic actress. Before I knew it I was in Hollywood . . . So begins this remarkable novel, in which Margaret Spencer tells us of her own journey from the vaudeville stage of the Midwest, to performing as a child in Buenos Aires, through sexual awakenings to Broadway success, and her arrival, against her will, in the Hollywood of 1927. I was only one among numberless hordes of fatherless girls who, with mothers pinching at their elbows, had descended onto Hollywood as the fruit flies on the citrus groves. But Margaret is anything but ordinary. Feisty, lusty, tart-tongued, willing to use her body as well as her brains to stay afloat, Margaret has her mind and heart set on liberation in every sense of the world. She demands freedom—sexual, artistic, and financial—and her battle to achieve it makes her a heroine well ahead of her time. Margaret in Hollywood is the tale of a young woman who refuses to be owned and will not be cowed, and whose love of life propels her onward.
Book Synopsis The Photographer's Cookbook by : Lisa Hostetler
Download or read book The Photographer's Cookbook written by Lisa Hostetler and published by Aperture Foundation. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1970s, the George Eastman Museum approached a group of photographers to ask for their favorite recipes and food-related photographs to go with them, in pursuit of publishing a cookbook. Playing off George Eastman's own famous recipe for lemon meringue pie, as well as former director Beaumont Newhall's love of food, the cookbook grew from the idea that photographers' talent in the darkroom must also translate into special skills in the kitchen. The recipes do not disappoint, with Robert Adams' Big Sugar Cookies, Ansel Adams' Poached Eggs in Beer, Richard Avedon's Royal Pot Roast, Imogen Cunningham's Borscht, William Eggleston's Cheese Grits Casserole, Stephen Shore's Key Lime Pie Supreme and Ed Ruscha's Cactus Omelette, to name a few. The book was never published, and the materials have remained in George Eastman Museum's collection ever since. Now, nearly 40 years later, this extensive and distinctive archive of untouched recipes and photographs is published in The Photographer's Cookbook for the first time. The book provides a time capsule of contemporary photographers of the 1970s--many before they made a name for themselves--as well as a fascinating look at how they depicted food, family and home, taking readers behind the camera and into the hearts and stomachs of some of photography's most important practitioners.

Book Synopsis Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir by : Patrick Keating
Download or read book Hollywood Lighting from the Silent Era to Film Noir written by Patrick Keating and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lighting performs essential functions in Hollywood films, enhancing the glamour, clarifying the action, and intensifying the mood. Examining every facet of this understated art form, from the glowing backlights of the silent period to the shaded alleys of film noir, Patrick Keating affirms the role of Hollywood lighting as a distinct, compositional force. Closely analyzing Girl Shy (1924), Anna Karenina (1935), Only Angels Have Wings (1939), and T-Men (1947), along with other brilliant classics, Keating describes the unique problems posed by these films and the innovative ways cinematographers handled the challenge. Once dismissed as crank-turning laborers, these early cinematographers became skillful professional artists by carefully balancing the competing demands of story, studio, and star. Enhanced by more than one hundred illustrations, this volume counters the notion that style took a backseat to storytelling in Hollywood film, proving that the lighting practices of the studio era were anything but neutral, uniform, and invisible. Cinematographers were masters of multifunctionality and negotiation, honing their craft to achieve not only realistic fantasy but also pictorial artistry.

Book Synopsis Fallen Angels, a Blackwood McCabe Hollywood Mystery by : Dominic Lagan
Download or read book Fallen Angels, a Blackwood McCabe Hollywood Mystery written by Dominic Lagan and published by DOMINIC LAGAN. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dominic Lagan writes a superb Hollywood whodunit based on true life events in Fallen Angels: A Blackwood McCabe Hollywood Mystery. On February 2, 1922, legendary movie director, William Desmond Taylor was found murdered in his Hollywood home. The media frenzy and findings that followed shook the core of Hollywood's elite. The life of this acclaimed director played out like a well-written whodunit script straight out of the films that Taylor directed. Blacky McCabe, an ex-marine and expert in protecting the studio from scandal and known as the fixer in the upper crust circles of Tinsel Town is hired to ensure that the tabloids and the media get the right story. Two suspects are Mabel Normand and Mary Miles Minter, both celebrities and both with a romantic interest in Taylor. Then there's Angelo Dragna, alleged boss of the West Coast drug business and one of Taylor's friends. Who killed Taylor? What killed Taylor-a jealous rage as a result of a love triangle or a drug lord seeking vengeance? Drugs and sex seem to be the elements, but only one man can cover it up and make it all go away-McCabe is determined to save Hollywood's fallen angels. Lagan's plot line is razor sharp and has all the elements of a well-crafted murder/suspense-a page turner from the first chapter. Author Bio: Dominic Lagan is a writer and political advisor living in France. Mr. Lagan is currently working on his second novel and a series of books of McCabe adventures. Fallen Angels is his first novel.

Book Synopsis A Hidden History of Film Style by : Christopher Beach
Download or read book A Hidden History of Film Style written by Christopher Beach and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image that appears on the movie screen is the direct and tangible result of the joint efforts of the director and the cinematographer. A Hidden History of Film Style is the first study to focus on the collaborations between directors and cinematographers, a partnership that has played a crucial role in American cinema since the early years of the silent era. Christopher Beach argues that an understanding of the complex director-cinematographer collaboration offers an important model that challenges the pervasive conventional concept of director as auteur. Drawing upon oral histories, early industry trade journals, and other primary materials, Beach examines key innovations like deep focus, color, and digital cinematography, and in doing so produces an exceptionally clear history of the craft. Through analysis of several key collaborations in American cinema from the silent era to the late twentieth centuryÑsuch as those of D. W. Griffith and Billy Bitzer, William Wyler and Gregg Toland, and Alfred Hitchcock and Robert BurksÑthis pivotal book underlines the importance of cinematographers to both the development of cinematic technique and the expression of visual style in film.
