  • Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview

    Jewish Experience on Film an American Overview

    Jewish Experience on Film An American Overview by JOEL ROSENBERG ± OR ONE FAMILIAR WITH THE long history of Jewish sacred texts, it is fair to characterize film as the quintessential profane text. Being tied as it is to the life of industrial science and production, it is the first truly posttraditional art medium — a creature of gears and bolts, of lenses and transparencies, of drives and brakes and projected light, a creature whose life substance is spreadshot onto a vast ocean of screen to display another kind of life entirely: the images of human beings; stories; purported history; myth; philosophy; social conflict; politics; love; war; belief. Movies seem to take place in a domain between matter and spirit, but are, in a sense, dependent on both. Like the Golem — the artificial anthropoid of Jewish folklore, a creature always yearning to rise or reach out beyond its own materiality — film is a machine truly made in the human image: a late-born child of human culture that manifests an inherently stubborn and rebellious nature. It is a being that has suffered, as it were, all the neuroses of its mostly 20th-century rise and flourishing and has shared in all the century's treach- eries. It is in this context above all that we must consider the problematic subject of Jewish experience on film. In academic research, the field of film studies has now blossomed into a richly elaborate body of criticism and theory, although its reigning schools of thought — at present, heavily influenced by Marxism, Lacanian psycho- analysis, and various flavors of deconstruction — have often preferred the fashionable habit of reasoning by decree in place of genuine observation and analysis.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law.

Author: KEVIN ALLMAN Date: Mar 27, 1991 Start Page: 2 Section: View; PART-E; View Desk Text Word Count: 570 Document Text (Copyright, The Times Mirror Company; Los Angeles Times 1991all Rights reserved) Whoopi Goldberg had definite party plans as she walked into the Academy Awards before the ceremony Monday night. "I'm probably going to go out and celebrate in my car," said the two-time Oscar nominee. Not so fast. Four hours later, the Whoopster was this year's best supporting actress, and she joined other big winners like Kevin Costner, Jeremy Irons and Kathy Bates at the Governor's Ball, the official celebration thrown by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. (There were half a dozen worthy Oscar parties around town this year, including rumors of a Kevin Costner bash so private that invitees had to telephone after the show to find out the secret location.) The Governor's Ball used to be the party of last resort, but since the Academy began holding it at the site of the Oscars, it's become a must stop for the major stars. They fueled the sit-down dinner with star power, if not organization. There was a lot to see, like last year's best actor, Daniel Day-Lewis, at his table with Sinead O'Connor, who was wearing a red scarf over her trademark scalp stubble.
