The Rise of Controversial Content in Film
The Climb of Controversial Film Content by Ashley Haygood Submitted to the Department of Communication Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication at Liberty University May 2007 Film Content ii Abstract This study looks at the change in controversial content in films during the 20th century. Original films made prior to 1968 and their remakes produced after were compared in the content areas of profanity, nudity, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, and violence. The advent of television, post-war effects and a proposed “Hollywood elite” are discussed as possible causes for the increase in controversial content. Commentary from industry professionals on the change in content is presented, along with an overview of American culture and the history of the film industry. Key words: film content, controversial content, film history, Hollywood, film industry, film remakes i. Film Content iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support during the last three years. Without their help and encouragement, I would not have made it through this program. I would also like to thank the professors of the Communications Department from whom I have learned skills and information that I will take with me into a life-long career in communications. Lastly, I would like to thank my wonderful Thesis committee, especially Dr. Kelly who has shown me great patience during this process. I have only grown as a scholar from this experience. ii.

Background of the Study One of the real problems in human’s daily life is anxiety. Anxiety can include many aspects of life such as social, economic, religious and cultural aspect. Everyone ever has anxiety in his life. Commonly people does not like problem because they tend to get pleasure in their life. When human gets problem in his life and cannot solve it, he tries as far as he can to avoid it. But human cannot escape from this problem. By avoiding it, human will get anxiety in his life. Problem cannot be avoided. Human must overcome it and handle his problem because it can reduce the anxiety. As one of the psychoanalytic principles, anxiety is part of psychology study. The foremost investigator of the psychoanalytic is Vienna neurologist and psychologist Sigmund Freud. Freud (in Feist, 1985: 25) theorized that the root of human problems was psychological, not physical. He divides the psyche into three parts: id, ego, and superego. In literature, human problem sometimes become the interesting things to explore. The problem is sometimes pictured by an author. The problem is then developed by an author to create a story of his own. An author blends it in a story that becomes one of work of arts.

The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE U.S. AND KOREAN FILM INDUSTRIES: HISTORY, STRUCTURE, AND FINANCE A Thesis in Media Studies by Patrick D. Baxter © 2008 Patrick D. Baxter Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2008 This thesis of Patrick D. Baxter was reviewed and approved* by the following: Krishna Jayakar Associate Professor of the Department of Telecommunications Thesis Adviser Amit Schejter Assistant Professor of the Department of Telecommunications C. Michael Elavsky Assistant Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies John S. Nichols Professor of the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This project is a comparative case-study of the U.S. and Korean (South Korea) film industries along historical, structural, and financial dimensions. The genesis of this thesis came through an overall fascination with the film industry globally as nations compete and cooperate with each other, as well as contend with the dominance of the U.S. film industry. It uses the industrial organization model focusing primarily on "market structure." Further, it applies A.J. Scott’s bipartite (major, independent) and tripartite (major, subsidiary, independent) models of the U.S. film industry. The analysis is mainly descriptive being informed by historical development. To elaborate on market structure, samples of studio/mainstream and independent films were collected in both the U.S. and Korean film industries. The samples were analyzed along production company affiliation, distribution affiliation, sources of funding, and other elements.

After the wreck of his ships, a financially-ruined merchant exiles himself in the countryside with his six children. Among them is Beauty, his youngest daughter, a joyful girl full of grace. One day, during an arduous journey, the merchant stumbles across the magical domain of the Beast, who sentences him to death for stealing a rose. Feeling responsible for the terrible fate which has befallen her family, Beauty decides to sacrifice herself and take her father’s place. At the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Beauty, but a strange life in which fantastical moments mingle with gaiety and melancholy. Every night, at dinner, Beauty and the Beast sit down together.
