  • 'We're on Flashdrive Or CD-ROM': Disassembly and Deletion in the Digital Noir of Collateral
    Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network, Vol 2, No 1 (2009) ARTICLE ‘We’re on Flashdrive or CD-ROM’: Disassembly and Deletion in the Digital Noir of Collateral VINCENT M. GAINE, University of East Anglia ABSTRACT This paper analyses the inflection of film noir that occurs in Michael Mann’s Collateral, adding to a thread by Paul Schrader, John G. Cawelti and David Desser. These arguments are applied to Collateral, which features a distinctive aesthetic that I argue is ‘digital noir’. Collateral both adheres to and departs from the features of noir, presenting an environment that is similar to an information system in which lives are comparable to computer programs. The film’s digital cinematography blurs people and places together, reducing the very presence of the characters into digital information, captured by the camera for easier manipulation. KEY WORDS Digital; noir; Michael Mann; Collateral; information. Michael Mann’s 2004 film Collateral inflects the conventions and tropes of film noir in a specific way. I add this essay to a sequence of arguments made by Paul Schrader, John G. Cawelti and David Desser, as well as Jason Holt. The thread begun by Schrader and developed by Cawelti is continued by Desser and Holt, and my argument builds upon Dessers (2003, pp.536) notion of ‘global noir’ with what I argue is digital noir. This paper identifies the arguments regarding film noir that these critics have made, applying them to Collateral to demonstrate how it both adheres to and departs from the features of noir. Mann’s film applies these features to a 21st century American urban environment, an environment reminiscent of an information system in which people’s lives are comparable to computer programs.

    Mr. Warner’s Vietnam War Movie List 84 Charlie Mopic A unique look at the Vietnam War in revealed through the subjective lens of a fictitious army motion picture (MoPic) cameraman. Highly recommended for a "realistic" presentation of a reconnaissance mission by a team of GIs in the Central Highlands in 1969. (95 minutes) A Bright Shining Lie A U.S. senior military adviser is sent to Vietnam and finds himself fighting a war he cannot win alongside a corrupt and demoralized South Vietnamese Army. Based on the Pulitizer Prize and National Book Award winning book by Neil Sheehan, A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. (118 minutes) Apocalypse ow Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 provocative vision of the human "heart of darkness" revealed through the peculiar madness of the Vietnam War. A United States Army officer/trained assassin is sent into the depths of a southeast Asian jungle to seek out a renegade colonel and terminate his command during the Vietnam War. (153 minutes) Apocalypse ow Redux Reissue of 1979 film with restored footage edited out of original version. Even better (much better!) than the original; judged by some critics as the best film of 2001--even though it was made in 1979! (202 minutes) Birdy To escape an irrational world, Birdy, an ex-Vietnam veteran sits in an almost catatonic state in an Army hospital where he has come to believe he is one of the feathered creatures of his boyhood dreams. In an effort to break Birdy's silence, his psychiatrist brings in Birdy's loyal, best friend of his youth as they attempt to reach him and bring him back to reality.

  • Reel Gender: Examining the Politics of Trans Images in Film and Media
    REEL GENDER: EXAMINING THE POLITICS OF TRANS IMAGES IN FILM AND MEDIA Joelle Ruby Ryan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Susana Peña, Advisor Rekha Mirchandani Graduate Faculty Representative Bill Albertini Vikki Krane © 2009 Joelle Ruby Ryan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Susana Peña, Advisor This dissertation examines transgender images in film, television and media from the 1950s through the present, with an emphasis on images from the 1980s through today. The primary goal of the dissertation is to interrogate the various gender and sexual ideologies contained within the representations to determine the social status of trans people in American society. How do these images function to both encourage and stymie the liberation of transgender people in the United States? The dissertation deploys trans, queer and feminist theories to critically analyze the cultural work performed by these mass-media texts. What are the trends within the trans media canon, and how do they relate to the treatment of real-world gender-nonconforming people? In order to answer these questions, I separate the trans images into four different stereotypes. For each of these stereotypes, I analyze three to four films to compare and contrast the way the films deal with the issues of gender and sexual variation. The first stereotype I examine is the Transgender Deceiver. The Transgender Deceiver utilizes drag and gender transformation to obtain something they want from society. While the films analyzed are comedies (Tootsie, Just One of the Guys, Sorority Boys, and Juwanna Mann), I argue that they are not as innocuous as they appear due to the way they stereotype gender-variant people as duplicitous, selfish and conniving.
