    ''Americans Don't Want Cowboys to Be Gay:'' Amerykanów, nawet wśród najbardziej liberalnych heteroseksualnych popleczników równouprawnienia gejów ''Brokeback Mountain'' and the Oscars i lesbijek. ______________________ William Glass When Crash (2005) was the surprise best picture winner at the 2006 Oscar ceremony, a variety of explanations were offered for the ("Amerykanie nie chcą kowbojów-gejów". "Brokeback Moutain" upset over the pre-Oscar favorite, Brokeback Mountain (2005). i Oskary) Some suggested a Brokeback backlash occurred; that is, that Brokeback Mountain, which had won critical praise and awards from STRESZCZENIE: Kiedy w 2006 roku Crash zdobył the time of its release and was the highest grossing picture of the five niespodziewanie Oskara za najlepszy film roku, pojawiło się wiele nominated, had worn out its welcome with the Academy voters. prób wyjaśnienia porażki, jaką poniósł przedoskarowy faworyt, Others argued that the Academy got it right: Crash was the superior Brokeback Mountain.

A few mentioned the massive marketing campaign by the walorów artystycznych tych dwóch filmów, ani też ustalenie, czy studio on behalf of Crash, swamping the members of the Academy odrzucenie obrazu Brokeback Mountain przez Akademię with free copies of the DVD. Another popular explanation was that motywowane było ukrytą homofobią, ale raczej odpowiedź na since Crash was set in Los Angeles and since most Academy pytanie, czego można dowiedzieć się o powszechnych postawach members live in Los Angeles, the voters chose the movie that i wyobrażeniach dotyczących miejsca gejów i lesbijek reflected their experiences.[1] Larry McMurtry, one of the w społeczeństwie amerykańskim na podstawie dyskusji na temat screenwriters for Brokeback Mountain, offered two of the more zwycięstwa filmu Crash, która toczyła się w Internecie, na blogach insightful explanations, both of which turned on prejudice.

  • Chapter 1 Rules and Unruliness Romantic Comedy
    Chapter 1 Rules and Unruliness Romantic Comedy Gender and Genre We love this movie. We’ve seen it in a hundred variations and know exactly how it ends. The couple often “meet cute” – airplane (or bus) seating, a stop to ask for directions, a bet made in a bar, a shared tele- phone party line – and this chance meeting later seems like fate. The woman may be a little crazy, and the guy has no idea how much he needs her. Their quarrels and at least one huge misunderstanding threaten to break them up. But in the last shot they’re lip-locked, and we want to believe this is true love, happily ever after. It Happened One Night has many literary and cinematic precedents, but it’s usually considered the foundation of the romantic comedy film genre produced and refined in its classic period, the 1930s and early 1940s. Its imitations and reproductions show no sign of stopping. Following a lull in the 1970s, often attributed to gender anxieties in the wake of the women’s movement, the genre picked up again in the 1980s.1 This chapter focuses on It Happened One Night as romantic comedy and considers the critical debates about the film’s take on romance, gender, and marriage. Film genres are categories identified by story, style, iconography, recurring stars, and formulas that get repeated – andCOPYRIGHTED remain box office draws – because MATERIAL they speak to cul- tural desires, anxieties, and fantasies. The romantic comedy film is one of our favorite stories about courtship, coupling, and falling in love.

  • Critical Study on History of International Cinema
    Critical Study on History of International Cinema *Dr. B. P. Mahesh Chandra Guru Professor, Department of Studies in Communication and Journalism, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri Karnataka India ** Dr.M.S.Sapna ***M.Prabhudevand **** Mr.M.Dileep Kumar India ABSTRACT The history of film began in the 1820s when the British Royal Society of Surgeons made pioneering efforts. In 1878 Edward Muybridge, an American photographer, did make a series of photographs of a running horse by using a series of cameras with glass plate film and fast exposure. By 1893, Thomas A. Edison‟s assistant, W.K.L.Dickson, developed a camera that made short 35mm films.In 1894, the Limiere brothers developed a device that not only took motion pictures but projected them as well in France. The first use of animation in movies was in 1899, with the production of the short film. The use of different camera speeds also appeared around 1900 in the films of Robert W. Paul and Hepworth.The technique of single frame animation was further developed in 1907 by Edwin S. Porter in the Teddy Bears. D.W. Griffith had the highest standing among American directors in the industry because of creative ventures. The years of the First World War were a complex transitional period for the film industry. By the 1920s, the United States had emerged as a prominent film making country. By the middle of the 19th century a variety of peephole toys and coin machines such as Zoetrope and Mutoscope appeared in arcade parlors throughout United States and Europe. By 1930, the film industry considerably improved its technical resources for reproducing sound.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR HISTORY, CULTURE AND MODERNITY www.history-culture-modernity.org Published by: Amsterdam University Press The Cinematic Depiction of Conflict Resolution in the Immigrant Chinese1 Family The Wedding Banquet and Saving Face Qijun Han HCM 1 (2): 129–159 DOI: 10.5117/HCM2013.2.HAN Abstract Both emphasising dilemmas that have been confronted by the Chinese- American family, Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Alice Wu’s Saving Face (2004) highlight the image of homosexuality as incompatible with traditional Chinese family values. Through detailed narrative analyses of these two films with a focus on the structure of the plot, the key characters, and camera work, this article aims to answer the questions of how traditional Chinese culture continues to play into and conflict with the experiences of modern Chinese American families and how each film presents and resolves the tensions arising from a culture in transition. The article argues that the importance of studying the ways in which the protagonists try to come to terms with incompatible value systems, lies in the capacity of film to reveal the complex negotiation between tradition and modernity, as well as the socio-cultural specificity of the conceptions of modernity. Keywords: Chinese-American family, homosexuality, narrative analysis, traditional Chinese family values Introduction From the mid-1980s onwards, a large number of filmmakers from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States have expanded the vis- ibility of Chinese-American family life. In particular, conflict between members of immigrant Chinese families has been a recurrent theme for HCM 2013, VOL.

  • Politeness in Subtitling: to Retain Or Not To
    DOI: 10.23817/strans.8-9 Yilei Yuan Zhejiang International Studies University / PR China Politeness in subtitling: To retain or not to Abstract Politeness in subtitling: To retain or not to1 This paper explores how politeness-related terms in Chinese films are translated into English with a case study that consists of four of Zhang Yimou’s films. Zhang Yimou is allegedly the most internationally acclaimed Chinese director. The selected films are set in different time periods of China, and thus politeness is manifested with different focuses. Politeness in the films follows two maxims: Address Maxim and Self-denigration Maxim. Hence, this paper will examine how those politeness-related terms fall into address and self-denigration divisions and how they have been translated by subtitlers. As visual politeness is prevalent in audiovisual productions, this paper will also brieflyanalyse how Chinese politeness is demonstrated non-verbally. Keywords: politeness, address, self-denigration, non-verbal politeness. For thousands of years, China has maintained a tradition of politeness. Over 100 idioms about polite concepts and traditions exist in Chinese vocabulary, while relevant anecdotes and proverbs are numerous (Wang et al. 2007). Politeness is shown in practically every Chinese film. Zhang Yimou is allegedly the most in- ternationally acclaimed Chinese filmmaker whose films have won international success. Four of his films will be introduced and analysed here, which areTo Live (1994), Hero (2002), Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) and The Flowers of War (2011). To Live is a film featuring an ordinary Chinese family’s difficult life over 30 years in the midst of historical tumult and instability from the 1940s to the 1970s.
