In his four-decade career, Spielberg has been admired for making blockbusters such as Jaws (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Indiana Jones series (1981, 1984, 1989, 2008), Schindler’s List (1993), Jurassic Park series (1993, 1997, 2001, 2015), Saving Private Ryan (1998), Lincoln (2012) and many other smash hits. Spielberg’s life as a filmmaker has been so brilliant that it looks like no one believes that there was any moment he spent at the bottom of the ladder in the movie industry. Much to the surprise of the skeptics, Spielberg was once just another director at Universal Television for the first couple years after launching himself into the cinema making world. Learning how to make good movies by trial and error, Spielberg made a breakthrough with his second feature-length telefilm Duel (1971) at the age of 25 and advanced into the big screen, where he would direct and produce more than 100 movies, including many great hits and some commercial or critical failures, in the next 40-something years.

  • Chapter Outline
    CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 Chapter Outline I. Swing Music and American Culture A. The Swing Era: 1935–45 1. Beginning in 1935, a new style of jazz-inspired music called “swing” transformed American popular music. 2. Initially developed in the late 1920s by black dance bands in New York, Chicago, and Kansas City 3. The word “swing” (like “jazz,” “blues,” and “rock ’n’ roll”) derives from African American English. a) First used as a verb for the fluid, rocking rhythmic momentum created by well-played music, the term was used by extension to refer to an emotional state characterized by a sense of freedom, vitality, and enjoyment. b) References to “swing” and “swinging” are common in the titles and lyrics of jazz records made during the 1920s and early 1930s. c) Around 1935, the music industry began to use “swing” as a proper noun—the name of a defined musical genre. 4. Between 1935 and 1945, hundreds of large dance orchestras directed by celebrity bandleaders dominated the national hit parade: 1 CHAPTER SIX: “IN THE MOOD”: THE SWING ERA, 1935–1945 a) Benny Goodman b) Tommy Dorsey c) Duke Ellington d) Count Basie e) Glenn Miller 5. These big bands appeared nightly on radio, their performances transmitted coast to coast from hotels and ballrooms in the big cities. 6. Their music was featured on jukeboxes. 7. Many of the bands crisscrossed the country in buses, playing for dances and concerts at local dance halls, theaters, and colleges. 8. The big bands were essentially a big-city phenomenon, a symbol of sophistication and modernity.

When did the rascals of “The Front Page” turn into the scoundrels of “Absence of Malice”? Why did reporters stop being heroes played by Clark Gable, Bette Davis and Cary Grant and become bit actors playing rogues dogging at the heels of Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn? It all happened in the dark as people watched movies and sat at home listening to radio and watching television. “The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture” explores the continuing, evolving relationship between the American people and their media. It investigates the conflicting images of reporters in movies and television and demonstrates, decade by decade, their impact on the American public’s perception of newsgatherers in the 20th century. The class shows how it happened first on the big screen, then on the small screens in homes across the country. The class investigates the image of the cinematic newsgatherer from silent films to the 1990s, from Hildy Johnson of “The Front Page” and Charles Foster Kane of “Citizen Kane” to Jane Craig in “Broadcast News.” The reporter as the perfect movie hero.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.
