    BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals This film review features a discussion on the relationship of film criticisms written at the time of the film’s release and others, which were written years later. 10 pages long. BROADWAY MELODY: The beginning of Hollywood musicals Broadway Melody's release on February 1, 1929 captures the attention of such issues as sound replacing silence and technology rather then the usual racial and political overtones like a lot of other genres. Most musicals had very simplistic plots: boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy sings song, and boy gets girl. Although there was racial discrimination like the depiction of black speciality acts, such as the Nicholas Brothers and the Berry Brothers, as janitors etc., the story lines were none violent, free of political issues and always ended on a happy note pretty much until West Side Story. By 1960 the musical was but a thing of the past with only a few films a year. All this being said, it is important to understand the context of the genre in order to formulate criticism other then saying that the shots are simple and that the acting, in general, was lousy. As one analyses a musical such as Broadway Melody of 1929 one finds that the art of the movie musical is found in the star's ability to sing, act and dance effectively. By far the most frequent comment about Broadway Melody is that of it's relationship with Broadway and it's backstage on stage look at vaudeville performance, an activity that most of all the audiences of the 10's and 20's could relate to.

    The American Century Theater presents Audience Guide Edited by Jack MarshallNovember 5–27 Rosslyn Spectrum Theater you can afford to seesee———— ppplaysplays you can’t afford to miss! About The American Century Theater The American Century Theater was founded in 1994. We are a professional company dedicated to presenting great, important, but overlooked American plays of the twentieth century . what Henry Luce called “the American Century.” The company’s mission is one of rediscovery, enlightenment, and perspective, not nostalgia or preservation. Americans must not lose the extraordinary vision and wisdom of past playwrights, nor can we afford to surrender our moorings to our shared cultural heritage. Our mission is also driven by a conviction that communities need theater, and theater needs audiences. To those ends, this company is committed to producing plays that challenge and move all Americans, of all ages, origins and points of view. In particular, we strive to create theatrical experiences that entire families can watch, enjoy, and discuss long afterward. These audience guides are part of our effort to enhance the appreciation of these works, so rich in history, content, and grist for debate. The American Century Theater is a 501(c)(3) professional nonprofit theater company dedicated to producing significant 20th Century American plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten. The American Century Theater is supported in part by Arlington County through the Cultural Affairs Division of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources and the Arlington Commission for the Arts. This arts event is made possible in part by the Virginia Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as by many generous donors.

  • Everything Began with the Movie Moulin Rouge (2001)
    Introduction Everything began with the movie Moulin Rouge (2001). Since I was so obsessed with this hit film, I couldn’t but want to know more about this particular genre - musical films. Then I started to trace the history of this genre back to Hollywood’s classical musical films. It’s interesting that musical films have undergone several revivals and are usually regarded as the products of escapism. Watching those protagonists singing and dancing happily, the audience can daydream freely and forget about the cruel reality. What are the aesthetic artifices of this genre so enchanting that it always catches the eye of audience generation after generation? What kinds of ideal life do these musical films try to depict? Do they (musical films) merely escape from reality or, as a matter of fact, implicitly criticize the society? In regard to the musical films produced by Hollywood, what do they reflect the contemporary social, political or economic situations? To investigate these aspects, I start my research project on the Hollywood musical film genre from the 1950s (its Classical Period) to 2002. However, some people might wonder that among all those Hollywood movies, what is so special about the musical films that makes them distinguish from the other types of movies? On the one hand, the musical film genre indeed has several important contributions to the Hollywood industry, and its influence never wanes even until today. In need of specialty for musical film production, many talented professional dancers and singers thus get the chances to join in Hollywood and prove themselves as great actors (actresses), too.

  • The Movies and Music of the 1930S the Depression Was a Tough Time for Families and Kids Since Money Was Scarce
    The Movies and Music of the 1930s The depression was a tough time for families and kids since money was scarce. Even though this was the case and there were no television sets to watch, people managed by swimming in the canals, dancing at the Women’s Club for 25 cents, or going to the movies in Glendale. Here are the top movies that came out during the ’30s as well as the music that came out during this period. 1930 - Top Movies - Tom Sawyer, Top Hat, Animal Crackers, and Hell’s Angels Top Music “Happy Days Are Here Again” (Ben Selvin), “These Little Words” (Duke Ellington), “On the Sunny Side of the Street” (Ted Lewis and his Orchestra) 1931 – Top Movies – Frankenstein, City Lights, Mata Hari, Cimarron - Top Music - “Minnie the Moocher” (Cab Calloway), “Dream a Little Dream of Me” (Wayne King), “Goodnight Sweetheart” (Bing Crosby) 1932 - Top Movies – Tarzan the Ape Man, Trouble in Paradise, The Old Dark House. - Top Music – “All of Me” (Louis Armstrong), “It Don’t Mean a Thing” (Duke Ellington), “Night and Day” (Fred Astaire and Leo Raisman) 1933 - Top Movies – King Kong, 42ndStreet, Dinner at Eight, Sons of the Desert - Top Music – “Stormy Weather” (Ethel Waters), “Sophisticated Lady” (Duke Ellington) “We’re in the Money” (Dick Powell) 1934 - Top Movies – The Thin Man, Cleopatra, It Happened One Night - Top Music – “Moon Glow” (Benny Goodman), “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” (Paul Whitman), “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” (Paul Whitman), “Cocktails for Two” (Duke Ellington) 1935 - Top Movies – Mutiny on the Bounty, Top Hat, Captain Blood, A Night At the Opera - Top Music – “On the Good Ship Lollipop” (Shirley Temple) “Cheek to Cheek” (Fred Astaire), “The Isle of Capri” (Ray Noble), “Lullaby of Broadway” (Blue Moon) 1936 - Top Movies – The Great Ziegfeld, Mr.

    Image of PR Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 1 The Image of the Public Relations Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 Joe Saltzman1 Professor of Journalism Director, The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction In this article, we examine images of public relations practitioners in film and television appearing in more than 327 English-speaking films and television programs from 1901 to 2011.2 This is the largest study of its kind ever attempted and one of the first to include the image of the public relations practitioner in television programs. Many public relations practitioners believe the image of the publicist and the PR professional is one of the most negative in history. But this analysis indicates that the images of the PR practitioner are far more varied and even more positive than previously thought. Literature Review There have been previous studies on the image of the PR practitioner in film. They include Karen Miller’s landmark study in 1999 (which included film and print images),3 Larry Tavcar’s 1993 look at 17 films depicting public relations in the movies,4 Donn James Tilson’s brief look at public relations and Hollywood in 2003,5 and Carol Ames’ comprehensive follow-up to Miller’s study in 2010.6 In addition, Mordecai Lee studied images of the public relations practitioner in government and public administration, sampling 20 films from 1944 to 2000 in a 2001 study,7 and in a 2009 update8 added seven more films from 1996 to 2008.

  • The Role of Hegemonic Masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea
    University of Wollongong Research Online Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts 2016 The oler of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea Richard Howson University of Wollongong, [email protected] Brian Yecies University of Wollongong, [email protected] Publication Details Howson, R. & Yecies, B. (2016). The or le of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea. Masculinities and Social Change, 5 (1), 52-69. Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The oler of hegemonic masculinity and Hollywood in the New Korea Abstract We argue that during the 1940s Hollywood films had an important role to play in the creation of a postwar South Korean society based on the new global U.S. hegemony. The onnec ctions between political and economic change in South Korea and sociocultural factors have hitherto scarcely been explored and, in this context, we argue that one of the key socio-cultural mechanisms that supported and even drove social change in the immediate post-war period was the Korean film industry and its representation of masculinity. The groundbreaking work of Antonio Gramsci on hegemony is drawn on in particular, his understanding of the relationship between commonsense and good sense as well as Raewyn Connells concept of hegemonic masculinity. The character of Rick in the 1941 Hollywood classic Casablanca is used to illustrate the kind of hegemonic masculinity favoured by the U.S. Occupation authorities in moulding cultural and political attitudes in the new Korea.
