  • Robert Rodriguez and the Transformation of a Microbudget
    FROM EL MARICHI TO EL REY: ROBERT RODRIGUEZ AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF A MICROBUDGET FILMMAKER INTO A LATINO MEDIA MOGUL By Copyright 2015 Zachary Ingle Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson _______________________________ Tamara Falicov, Ph.D. ______________________________ Michael Baskett, Ph.D. ______________________________ Germaine Halegoua, Ph.D. ______________________________ John Tibbetts, Ph.D. ______________________________ Ben Chappell, Ph.D. Date Defended: April 24, 2015 The Dissertation Committee for Zachary Ingle certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: FROM EL MARICHI TO EL REY: ROBERT RODRIGUEZ AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF A MICROBUDGET FILMMAKER INTO A LATINO MEDIA MOGUL ________________________________ Chairperson Tamara Falicov Date approved: April 24, 2015 ii ABSTRACT Studies based on a director often follow a common model, generally resorting to an overview of that director’s films and examining shared aesthetic qualities and themes. This sort of study was grounded in the auteur theory—following authorship approaches in literature—and was invested in a consistency that justified the place of film authorship as a worthy pursuit in academia. In this study, however, I examine Mexican-American filmmaker Robert Rodriguez through a discursive analysis, unencumbered to textual analysis or even a chronological approach, with a look at the media discourse, Rodriguez’s own writings and interviews, and the pertinent scholarship. His debut award-winning debut feature, El Mariachi (1992), as well as the production diary that would soon follow, Rebel Without a Crew: Or How a 23-Year-Old Filmmaker with $7,000 Became a Hollywood Player inspired a generation of filmmakers into making ultra-low (or microbudget) films.

  • Missione 3 – D – Game Over Di Robert Rodriguez SINOSSI Juni Cortez Ha
    Missione 3 – D – Game over di Robert Rodriguez SINOSSI Juni Cortez ha lasciato l'attività di agente segreto per la OSS e ora cerca quotidianamente di sbarcare il lunario svolgendo alcune attività che ben poco hanno di avventuroso. L'occasione si ripresenta quando la OSS lo richiama per salvare la sorella Carmen, rimasta intrappolata nel cyberspazio all'interno di un videogioco chiamato "Game Over", creato dal perfido Giocattolaio che intende dominare tutte le menti degli adolescenti con i suoi sofisticati software. Entrando nella realtà virtuale del cyberspazio, Juni dovrà superare quattro complicatissimi livelli di gioco, cercando di non esaurire le varie vite virtuali di cui dispone, per poter accedere al quinto livello, quello in cui è intrappolata la sorella, il più complicato da superare perché programmato dal Giocattolaio stesso in modo che sia impossibile risolverlo. Juni, che è stato scambiato per una delle componenti del gioco "Game Over", incontra come compagni di viaggio nella realtà virtuale quattro coetanei, Arnold, Rez, Francis e Demetra, della quale si innamora quando questa si sacrifica per lui per permettergli di superare un livello in cui stava soccombendo: decide di chiedere aiuto al nonno, che ha un vecchio conto in sospeso con il Giocattolaio, ritenuto responsabile della sua paralisi alle gambe. Giunti con uno stratagemma al quinto livello e incontrata finalmente Carmen, i ragazzi, con l'aiuto del nonno, riescono a spegnere il videogioco in cui sono stati introdotti. Ma il perfido Giocattolaio, liberato da nonno Cortez per potersi vendicare compiutamente, riesce a far trasferire i suoi mostri virtuali sulla terra. I mostri saranno sconfitti soltanto dall'arrivo di tutta la famiglia Cortez al completo e dai suoi fedeli amici, accorsi per fornire un decisivo aiuto.
