From his work with Martin Scorsese, such as The Last Temptation of Christ and Raging Bull, to the films of his own direction, such as Mishima and Affliction, Schrader has created a dark and affecting body of work that has had a profound effect on cinematic storytelling. The works in this volume represent some of his key moments as a writer and a director, including the script for what is perhaps his crowning achievement: Taxi Driver -- one of the most influential films of the seventies and an American classic. Paul Schrader positions Taxi Driver, American Gigolo, and Light Sleeper as the first three film in a quartet depicting, as he puts it, ...a certain character... who drifts on the edge of urban society, always peeping, looking into the lives of others. Hed like to have a life of his own, but doesnt know how to get one. This character is angry in his 20s (Taxi Driver), narcissistic in his 30s (American Gigolo), and anxious in his 40s (Light Sleeper). In his brief introduction to the collected screenplays for these three films, Schrader announces the existence of a fourth script that will show this certain character in his 50s, after which Ill retire him. Its getting too difficult to finance existential character studies. Schrader finds the genesis for this character in his own strict Calvinist upbringing and subsequent escape to LA, where he says I was not unlike Travis Bickle: a bundle of tightly wrapped contradictions. He thus wrote the script to Taxi Driver in a chapter format because I wanted to capture the seeming randomness of Travis life... Several years later finds the script for American Gigolo in a conventional format because I was `in Hollywood... and wanted scripts that looked like everyone elses. Light Sleeper, being an independent film, was able to return to the chapter format (for better or worse). Both Taxi Driver and Light Sleeper were previously published as single volumes by Faber & Faber, and in the case of Taxi Driver, its shame to have lost the 14 page dialogue between Schrader and Martin Scorcese that was in that book. Still, its hard to complain about getting three Schrader scripts in one book, and judging from the 1 in the title, further Schrader collections are forthcoming.

  • INTRODUCTION Fatal Attraction and Scarface
    1 introduction Fatal Attraction and Scarface How We Think about Movies People respond to movies in different ways, and there are many reasons for this. We have all stood in the lobby of a theater and heard conflicting opin- ions from people who have just seen the same film. Some loved it, some were annoyed by it, some found it just OK. Perhaps we’ve thought, “Well, what do they know? Maybe they just didn’t get it.” So we go to the reviewers whose business it is to “get it.” But often they do not agree. One reviewer will love it, the next will tell us to save our money. What thrills one person may bore or even offend another. Disagreements and controversies, however, can reveal a great deal about the assumptions underlying these varying responses. If we explore these assumptions, we can ask questions about how sound they are. Questioning our assumptions and those of others is a good way to start think- ing about movies. We will soon see that there are many productive ways of thinking about movies and many approaches that we can use to analyze them. In Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1992), the actor playing Bruce Lee sits in an American movie theater (figure 1.1) and watches a scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) in which Audrey Hepburn’s glamorous character awakens her upstairs neighbor, Mr Yunioshi. Half awake, he jumps up, bangs his head on a low-hanging, “Oriental”-style lamp, and stumbles around his apart- ment crashing into things.

When, where and how their interaction and origin is begun? There should be no glamor and red carpet when The Lumière brothers short films like Workers leaving the Lumière factory, The Gardener, Baby’s Breakfast on the birth of cinema in 1895. However, we notice that artificially costumes are tailor-made for A Trip to the Moon in Georges Méliès and D. W. Griffith’s Intolerance. Suddenly, it adds the aesthetical and modernist elements into the blood of cinema beside the raw-realism of how the daily life of the common people is represented on the silver screen. Some kinds of bourgeois ideology and middle class value is enhanced. It is so unbelievable that some ordinary actress like Mary Pickford transforming into a movie star after beautifully dressing up. Not only the audience feel the power of movie magic but also the fashion magic. This paper explores the different perspective of movie and fashion in terms of fashion and film costumes, movie stars icon, fashion trends influenced by movies, and how fashion designers changes the look of cinema as well, etc. Keywords: ideology, movie images, stardom, fashionability Introduction Cinema is somehow like a showcase of fashion. General audiences are fans of movie stars not just because of their personal charisma, but because of the fashion they wear.

    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH PAUL SCHRADER Paul Schrader made his mark as a film critic with a definitive essay about film noir . As a filmmaker, he received widespread attention for his screenplays for Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and Raging Bull . Since his directorial debut with the incisive working-class drama Blue Collar , Schrader has made some of the most austere and rigorous movies to emerge from contemporary Hollywood. His biggest critical success to date, which he discusses here, is the independent film Affliction , a lean and unrelenting version of Russell Banks's novel, a father-son drama featuring a riveting central performance by Nick Nolte. A Pinewood Dialogue with Paul Schrader, take away from the film. So could you talk about moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz that? (January 10, 1999): SCHRADER: Yeah. Russell Banks said to me fairly SCHWARTZ: Please welcome Paul Schrader. early on in the rehearsals, he said, “You know that (Applause) the main character, of course, is the narrator.” And I had sort of assumed he meant the main SCHRADER: Thank you.

    Über Paul Schrader »Kann ich gar nichts behalten? Was ist von mir noch üb- rig?« So könnten viele Figuren in Paul Schraders Filmen fra- gen. Das tun sie nicht. Sie fragen stattdessen »Was bin ich wert?« Oder sagen: »Einige meiner Illusionen wurden zer- stört« – wenn ihr bisheriges Leben in Trümmern liegt. Paul Schrader zwingt seinen Figuren existenzielle Entscheidungen in Form drastischer Bedrohungen auf. Er setzt sie gefangen, um zu zeigen, dass sie vorher nicht frei waren oder schickt sie auf die Suche – nach sich selbst. Bettina Klix beschreibt, wie Schrader seine Figuren preisgibt – und rettet. Bettina Klix, geboren 1961 in Berlin, studierte Germanis- tik und Sozialpädagogik.
