Cowboy Hamlets and zombie Romeos
Author: Kinga Földváry
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526142112
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
The book presents a systematic method of interpreting Shakespeare film adaptations based on their cinematic genres. Its approach is both scholarly and reader-friendly, and its subject is fundamentally interdisciplinary, combining the findings of Shakespeare scholarship with film and media studies, particularly genre theory. The book is organised into six large chapters, discussing films that form broad generic groups. Part I looks at three genres from the classical Hollywood era (western, melodrama and gangster-noir), while Part II deals with three contemporary blockbuster genres (teen film, undead horror and biopic). Beside a few better-known examples of mainstream cinema, the volume also highlights the Shakespearean elements in several nearly forgotten films, bringing them back to critical attention.

Pages : 274
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Shakespeare
Author: Eddie Sammons
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780856831881
Category : English drama
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
The birth of cinema at the end of the 19th century and the development of the narrative film made the works of Shakespeare a natural source for film makers. A hundred years later his enduring popularity is borne out not least by the success of the film "Shakespeare in Love". This comprehensive guide includes not only films of Shakespeare's plays, but also filmed stage performances and films based on or inspired by his works. The author has graded them into three categories: "pure" Shakespeare - films that are more or less direct film versions of the original play, either in part or whole, in original dialogue or translation; derivative - films that use Shakespearian themes or plots but are in other respects changed, films that revolve around a given play, and those inspired by a Shakesperian work; and opera and ballet versions. Each play which has been filmed is listed under its original title with "dramatis personae" and a brief synopsis of the story. Divided into the three sections listed above, the films are listed chronologically, giving information on each film such as title, country, language and year of production, director, production company, lead players, black and white/colour, silent, stereo, wide screen, and awards. Films made for television transmission are generally not included.
