  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

  • Quentin Tarantino Och Kärleken Till Blaxploitation - En Jämförande Analys Av Representationen Av Svarta Kvinnor
    Kandidatuppsats Quentin Tarantino och kärleken till blaxploitation - en jämförande analys av representationen av svarta kvinnor Författare: Rebecca Rosén Handledare: Tommy Gustafsson Examinator: Anna Sofia Rossholm Termin: VT16 Ämne: Filmvetenskap Nivå: Kandidat Kurskod: 2FV30E Abstract Följande uppsats kommer att fokusera på relationen mellan Quentin Tarantino och blaxploitation, och syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida Tarantino väljer att representera sina svarta kvinnliga huvudkaraktärer annorlunda i sina blaxploitation- influerade filmer Jackie Brown (1997) och Django Unchained (2012) i jämförelse med representationen av svarta kvinnliga huvudkaraktärer i två av de mest kända blaxploitationfilmerna från 1970-talet, Coffy (1973) och Foxy Brown (1974). Den grundläggande teorin för uppsatsen är den feministiska filmteorin, men andra texter som berör representationen av kvinnor och specifikt svarta kvinnor på film är lika väsentliga. Mitt tillvägagångssätt för att besvara uppsatsens frågeställningar är att genom närläsning av de utvalda filmerna samt deras respektive kvinnliga karaktärer, med understöd av relevant litteratur och teorier, göra en jämförande analys. Slutresultatet visar att Tarantino i och med filmen Jackie Brown lyckas utveckla den svarta och starka kvinnliga karaktären från blaxploitation dock utan att föra vidare undergenrens problematiska sexualisering av kvinnokroppen. Däremot lyckas han inte lika bra i samband med Django Unchained, där den kvinnliga, ofta hjälplösa, huvudkaraktären främst visas som antingen någonting vackert eller någon som plågas för andras njutning. Nyckelord Quentin Tarantino, Pam Grier, Blaxploitation, Django Unchained, Jackie Brown, Foxy Brown, Coffy, Gender representation, Black women in film, Genusrepresentation, Svarta kvinnor i film i Tack Jag vill inledningsvis rikta ett speciellt tack till min handledare Tommy Gustafsson som genom tips, råd och vägledning under hela skrivprocessen har hjälpt mig nå fram till mitt mål med denna uppsats.

  • Djibouti / Elmore Leonard Marketing QA
    A Q&A With Elmore Leonard Djibouti is a mad mix of pirates, terrorists, and iconoclastic Americans, including a wealthy playboy, an ambitious documentary filmmaker, and a terrorist. How did you get the idea for the story? I make it up as I go along. I seldom begin writing a novel with a fixed story in mind. I had an interest in the Malaccan Straits pirates, but then shifted to Somalia where the real pirate action was taking place. A focus on terrorism was the next logical step. I then thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to see such a story unfold through the eyes of a documentary filmmaker. As for the wealthy playboy, I always have a guy like that ready to use when I need him. Have you visited Djibouti and did you meet any modern day pirates like those in the book? No on both accounts. But I know Djibouti very well from my research. Your main character, Dara, sympathizes with the Somali pirates. Why? What's your take on contemporary piracy? She sees them initially as what they are or at least were: Somali fisherman battling big foreign interests depleting their fishing waters. Piracy was payback. She also thought they were a fun loving bunch. The young American terrorist Jama is a calculating badass. Would you offer some insight into his character and motivations? He’s a man on a mission to destroy. What’s the mission of any home grown Al Qaeda? To serve Allah or make a name for one’s self. Dara and her companion Xavier speculate on which actors would star in an action feature based on the making of her pirate documentary.

  • Romanov Thesis.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION Quentin Tarantino is a writer and director of films widely known for his nonlinear storylines, pert dialogue, excessive violence, and 60s and 70s era music scores. Tarantino has an impressive knowledge of television, movies, and film history and deeply admires exploitation films, Hong Kong action cinema and Spaghetti Westerns. His films often duplicate and incorporate the themes, style and music of a wide assortment of film genres. Tarantino got his start in film while employed as a video store clerk. In 1987, he wrote the script for True Romance and sold it in 1992, followed by the sale of another script entitled Natural Born Killers. This eventually led to Reservoir Dogs (1992), the first film he wrote and directed, followed by Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003), and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004). In all of the films written and directed by Tarantino, the soundtrack music plays an integral role. As he states, “The thing I’m coming from is listening to music to be the guide to a movie” (Miklitsch, 289). The music he uses as his guide shares several common characteristics: “It is old and it is referential to distinct musical, film or media genres” (Garner, 192). Tarantino uses this music to connect his audience to the physical and emotional sensations of the characters in his films. If the audience is connected, then they will understand the emotions associated with the character or be intrigued by the juxtaposition of the aural and visual elements in the scene. Therefore, as Frith generally states, music “becomes our teacher, making sure we got the film’s emotional message” (79).
