Dedicated to the work of emerging, innovative filmmakers, Good Machine has produced or co-produced films by, among others, Ang Lee, Todd Solondz, Nicole Holofcener, Ed Burns, Cheryl Dunye and Hal Hartley. Beginning with Tui Shou (Pushing Hands) (1992), the first collaboration between Good Machine and director Ang Lee, The Museum of Modern Art presents eight feature films and five shorts from February 13 through 23, 2001 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "Good Machine proves that audiences do want to be entertained intelligently and engaged substantively," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the series. "Their achievements are reflected in this Tenth Anniversary series and are, in large part, due to Good Machine's collaborations with filmmakers and its respect for the creative process." In addition to producing and co-producing films, Good Machine has gone on to establish an international sales company involved in distributing diverse and unusual works such as Joan Chen's Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl (1998) and Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark (2000).

    Abilene Christian University Digital Commons @ ACU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Electronic Theses and Dissertations Spring 5-2017 From Blonde to Brutal: A Feminist Rhetorical Analysis of Legally Blonde and How to Get Away With Murder Jazmine M. Moreno [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/etd Recommended Citation Moreno, Jazmine M., "From Blonde to Brutal: A Feminist Rhetorical Analysis of Legally Blonde and How to Get Away With Murder" (2017). Digital Commons @ ACU, Electronic Theses and Dissertations. Paper 50. This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Electronic Theses and Dissertations at Digital Commons @ ACU. It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Theses and Dissertations by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons @ ACU. ABSTRACT Feminism is a word that strikes up many connotations, but has no set definition. Though it might take on different definitions, its overall goal is equality. Feminism has appeared throughout history in various waves, the third-wave is currently in progress. Two artifacts from this wave of feminism include Legally Blonde and How to Get Away With Murder. This thesis utilizes feminist rhetorical criticism to analyze how third-wave feminism appears in each artifact, and what implications that has for the progression of feminism. The research identified two types of feminism, girlie feminism in Legally Blonde, and intersectional in How to Get Away With Murder, respectively. The different types of feminism in each artifact lead to the finding that each is indicative of what third wave feminism was concerned with at the time. Legally Blonde and girlie feminism were geared towards making femininity acceptable in the workplace and compatible with feminism.

  • An Analysis of Tom Tykwer's Polyamorous Film Three
    “Three (Is Not a Crowd)”: An Analysis of Tom Tykwer’s Polyamorous Film Three Nataša Pivec ABSTRACT: Many contemporary films about non-monogamies still depict them as adultery or side-notes of an ‘unconventional lifestyle’, but Tom Tykwer’s Three manages to be a trailblazer for a more realistic and mature portrayal of polyam- orous relationships in cinema. Centred on an upper-middle class, childless, het- ero couple in their early 40s who get romantically and sexually involved with the same man, the film narrative follows the transformation from a monogamous to a polyamorous relationship. This paper uses critical discursive analysis (CDA) for the analysis and finds that Three, besides dismantling monogamy as a futile intimate arrangement, also addresses social issues, such as mononormative adultery, male bisexuality, changes of emotional and sexual selfhood, ageism, childless- ness, pregnancy and body image, and new familial forms. KEYWORDS: polyamory, film, CDA, sociology In Western societies where monogamy remains and continues to be promoted as the key principle – legally and societally – on how to organize intimate and family relationships, the negative or plainly ignorant portrayals of non-monogamies in cinema can further deepen misconceptions about polyamory for mainstream au- diences. Representations of polyamory are therefore crucial for constructing poly- amorous realities on- and off-screen, because popular media (e.g. film, television, social media) contribute to the public’s general understanding of what intimacy (love, sexuality, relationships, family) is. Popular narratives can serve as stand-in educational tools for a wider audience, the vast majority of whom might not be Graduate Journal of Social Science January 2018, Vol.

Property Highlights: • Motivated Seller • Highway I-10 Exposure • Huge Parking Lot Location Information: About Willcox Arizona Willcox is a city in Cochise County, Arizona, United States. Originally known as "Maley", the town was founded in 1880 as a whistle stop on the Southern Pacific Railroad. It was renamed in honor of a visit by General Orlando B. Willcox in 1889. In the early 20th century, Willcox had the distinction of being a national leader in cattle production. Agriculture remains important to the local economy, but Interstate 10 has replaced the railroad as the major transportation link, and much of the economy is now tied to the highway, which runs immediately north of the town. Willcox is the birthplace of Rex Allen, known as "The Arizona Cowboy", who wrote and recorded many songs, starred in several Westerns during the early 1950s and in the syndicated television series Frontier Doctor (1958–1959).

    ARSC Study Guide Film Noir Television COLLECTION PROFILE Considered by some to be a movement and others a genre, the classic period of film noir stretched from 1941 to 1958, bookended by the seminal films The Maltese Falcon and Touch of Evil. Film noir (or literally “black film”), a term coined by the French film critic Nino Frank, was often used to describe films that exhibited low- key black and white cinematography reminiscent of German Expressionism and plots centered around moral ambiguity and a rampant fear of sexuality. Often described and studied strictly in terms of its filmic manifestations, many of the stylistic aesthetics and narrative techniques of noir were prevalent on American television in such programs ranging from crime dramas (“Johnny Staccato,” “The Man With a Camera,” Set in the shadows of New York's mean streets, NBC's noir series “77 Sunset Strip”), and police procedurals “Johnny Staccato” (1959-60) starred John Cassavetes as a jazz- (“Dragnet,” “Naked City,” “The Untouchables”), pianist turned private detective. Cassavetes also directed a to science fiction anthologies (“The Outer number of episodes. Limits,” “The Twilight Zone”). Many of these programs not only exhibit noir style, but showcase the artistic efforts of many film noir luminaries. John Brahm (The Lodger, Guest in the House) directed episodes of both “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and “The Twilight Zone.” John Cassavetes (Shadows, A Woman Under the Influence) starred and directed in “Johnny Staccato.” Joseph Cotten (The Third Man, Shadow of a Doubt)
