  • The American Film Musical and the Place(Less)Ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’S “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis
    humanities Article The American Film Musical and the Place(less)ness of Entertainment: Cabaret’s “International Sensation” and American Identity in Crisis Florian Zitzelsberger English and American Literary Studies, Universität Passau, 94032 Passau, Germany; fl[email protected] Received: 20 March 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 19 May 2019 Abstract: This article looks at cosmopolitanism in the American film musical through the lens of the genre’s self-reflexivity. By incorporating musical numbers into its narrative, the musical mirrors the entertainment industry mise en abyme, and establishes an intrinsic link to America through the act of (cultural) performance. Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of the chronotope and its recent application to the genre of the musical, I read the implicitly spatial backstage/stage duality overlaying narrative and number—the musical’s dual registers—as a means of challenging representations of Americanness, nationhood, and belonging. The incongruities arising from the segmentation into dual registers, realms complying with their own rules, destabilize the narrative structure of the musical and, as such, put the semantic differences between narrative and number into critical focus. A close reading of the 1972 film Cabaret, whose narrative is set in 1931 Berlin, shows that the cosmopolitanism of the American film musical lies in this juxtaposition of non-American and American (at least connotatively) spaces and the self-reflexive interweaving of their associated registers and narrative levels. If metalepsis designates the transgression of (onto)logically separate syntactic units of film, then it also symbolically constitutes a transgression and rejection of national boundaries. In the case of Cabaret, such incongruities and transgressions eventually undermine the notion of a stable American identity, exposing the American Dream as an illusion produced by the inherent heteronormativity of the entertainment industry.

    ”Best enjoyed as property, shoe and hairdo porn.” Creating New Vocabulary in Present-Day English: A Study on Film-Related Neologisms in Total Film Rauno Sainio Tampere University School of Language, Translation and Literary Studies English Philology Pro Gradu Thesis May 2011 ii Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli-, käännös- ja kirjallisuustieteiden yksikkö SAINIO, RAUNO: ”Best enjoyed as property, shoe and hairdo porn.” Creating New Vocabulary in Present-Day English: A Study on Film-Related Neologisms in Total Film Pro gradu -tutkielma, 135 sivua + liite (6 sivua) Kevät 2011 Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tarkoituksena oli tutustua eri menetelmiin, joiden avulla englannin kielen sanastoa voidaan laajentaa. Lähdekirjallisuudesta kerättyä tietoa käsiteltiin tutkielman teoriaosuudessa, minkä jälkeen empiirinen osuus selvitti, kuinka kyseisiä menetelmiä sovelletaan käytännössä nykyenglannissa. Tämän selvittämiseksi käytiin manuaalisesti läpi korpusaineisto, joka koostui isobritannialaisen Total Film -elokuvalehden yhden vuoden aikana julkaistuista numeroista. Elokuvajournalismissa käytettävä kieli valittiin tutkimuksen kohteeksi kirjoittajan henkilökohtaisen kiinnostuksen vuoksi sekä siksi, että elokuva on paitsi merkittävä, myös jatkuvasti kehittyvä taiteen ja populaarikulttuurin muoto. Niinpä tämän tutkielman tarkoitus on myös tutustuttaa lukija sellaiseen sanastoon, jota alaa käsittelevä lehdistö nykypäivänä Isossa-Britanniassa käyttää.

  • Broadway Melody
    BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals This film review features a discussion on the relationship of film criticisms written at the time of the film’s release and others, which were written years later. 10 pages long. BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals Broadway Melody's release on February 1, 1929 captures the attention of such issues as sound replacing silence and technology rather then the usual racial and political overtones like a lot of other genres. Most musicals had very simplistic plots: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy sings song, and boy gets girl. Although there was racial discrimination like the depiction of black speciality acts, such as the Nicholas Brothers and the Berry Brothers, as janitors etc., the story lines were none violent, free of political issues and always ended on a happy note pretty much until West Side Story. By 1960 the musical was but a thing of the past with only a few films a year. All this being said, it is important to understand the context of the genre in order to formulate criticism other then saying that the shots are simple and that the acting, in general, was lousy. As one analyses a musical such as Broadway Melody of 1929 one finds that the art of the movie musical is found in the star's ability to sing, act and dance effectively. By far the most frequent comment about Broadway Melody is that of it's relationship with Broadway and it's backstage on stage look at vaudeville performance, an activity that most of all the audiences of the 10's and 20's could relate to.

  • 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study There Are
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study There are so many things that people can do to entertain themselves. One of them is watching a film. It is fun to watch a film. There are things that make films entertaining. Films have stories, supporting visual effects, and music score. The stories attract the viewers to enjoy a part of other character's life. The visual effects make the viewers be able to imagine that what they see is real. It looks like the events in the film really happened, while the music score intensifies the feeling that the film wants to deliver. The story is the most important part of the film. Without a good story, even if a film is started by some really great actors or actresses, the film will not be special. There are two ways or plot that a movie maker can use to deliver the story. The first way to deliver a story is a linear plot. The movie begins with the introduction of the characters. Everything seems normal. Then the problem appears and the movie finished when the characters can solve the problem. The second way is the flashback plot. In this plot, the story begins with the end. Then, a character tells the story from the beginning. All things that the movie viewers want to see are actually represented by the genre of the films. There are many things that people can see from a film, like funny things that can be seen from a comedy film, 1 thrilling action that can be seen from an action film, or even scary thing that can be seen from a horror film.

  • An Analysis of Miguel Gomes' Oeuvre
    Divided Hybrids: An Analysis of Miguel Gomes’ Oeuvre Francisco Vergueiro Martins Fontes 11689986 Date: 26/06/2018 Supervisor: Dr. Abraham Geil Second Reader: Dr. Marie-Aude Baronian Media Studies: Film Studies University of Amsterdam Table of Contents Introduction 03 Chapter 1: Foundations - Shorts & The Face You Deserve 06 Chapter 2: Recognitions - Our Beloved Month of August 15 Chapter 3: Recollections - Tabu 24 Chapter 4: Dreams - Arabian Nights 33 Conclusion 45 Bibliography 47 Filmography 48 List of Illustrations 49 !2 Introduction Documentaries and fiction films have been intertwining since 1895, when we first saw moving images of workers leaving the Lumière factory. This hybridization of registers has been explored since the very start but, like most aspects of our day-to-day, it is an idea that is constantly evolving and reinventing itself. This reinvention of ideas can be compared to André Bazin’s belief that cinema was yet to be invented (Myth 17) - a statement that can still be considered true when analyzing the development and eventual reinvention of specific filmmaking methods. The essential difference is that, while Bazin believed cinema was trying to catch up to the myth of its total enactment - in order to eventually reach an end result - in this case cinema continues to be “invented” due to its openness for experimentation - one without an end. The Portuguese critic-turned-director Miguel Gomes is behind a body of work that is distinctive in how it shifts between documentary and narrative filmmaking techniques, helping with this slow “invention” of the seventh art through formal experimentation. Strongly, but not exclusively, due to his mixture of techniques, his oeuvre is also firmly linked to realism, keeping such theories relevant, and as contemporary as his own work.

It was, after all, Liza Minnelli's first musical role since her diamond hard performance in Cabaret (1972). Minnelli, taking on the mantle of both her father and mother, seemed destined to be the keeper of the flame of the classic Hollywood musical.4 Moreover, Scorsese, trading on the success of Cabaret, hired its composers, John Kander and Fred Ebb, to add new songs to a score of period classics. Adding to the prospects, Minnelli was G.

High expectations seemed justified. Using the finest of ingredients, Martin Scorsese, having revived the film noir in Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976), seemed about to resurrect the classic American musical film.
