Looper and the Rise of China In
“I’M FROM THE FUTURE. YOU SHOULD GO TO CHINA.” LOOPER AND THE RISE OF CHINA IN AMERICAN SCIENCE-FICTION CINEMA Thesis Submitted to The College of Arts and Sciences of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Master of Arts in Communication By Robert Gordon Joseph UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON Dayton, Ohio May, 2014 “I’M FROM THE FUTURE. YOU SHOULD GO TO CHINA.” LOOPER AND THE RISE OF CHINA IN AMERICAN SCIENCE-FICTION CINEMA Name: Joseph, Robert Gordon APPROVED BY: ___________________________________ Joseph Valenzano III, Ph.D. Committee Chair Assistant Professor ___________________________________ Jeffrey Griffin, Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor ___________________________________ Andrew Slade, Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor ii ABSTRACT “I’M FROM THE FUTURE. YOU SHOULD GO TO CHINA.” LOOPER AND THE RISE OF CHINA IN AMERICAN SCIENCE-FICTION CINEMA Name: Joseph, Robert Gordon University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Joseph Valenzano III The past decade has seen a large number of film co-productions between Hollywood studios and Chinese production companies. These co-productions reflect the continued rise of the Chinese box office, and a desire by Hollywood to cash in on the emerging market. Among these co-productions is Looper, a cinematic collaboration between Tri-Star Pictures and DMG Entertainment. Along with its co-production status, Looper is significant in its unique portrayal of a future featuring a dystopic United States and a prosperous China. Viewing the film as a “representative anecdote,” this thesis argues that Looper represents United States cultural apprehensions towards China. By the circumstances of the film’s production and its on-screen portrayal of the future, the film reflects the distinct American fear in which China is the dominant world economic power.
