Lately he has been seeing and hearing strange things late at night in his house. He isn't sure if he is simply having terrifying nightmares or if his house is haunted. Each year, the seaside town where Michael lives hosts an international literary festival, attracting writers from all over the world. Michael works as a volunteer for the festival and is assigned the attractive Lena Morelle (Iben Hjejle), an author of books about ghosts and the supernatural, to look after. They become friendly and he eagerly tells her of his experiences. For the first time he has met someone who can accept the reality of what has been happening to him. However, Lena’s attention is pulled elsewhere. She has come to the festival at the bidding of world-renowned novelist Nicholas Holden (Aidan Quinn), with whom she had a brief affair the previous year. He has fallen in love with Lena and is going through a turbulent time, eager to leave his wife to be with her.

"Gregory Peck seemed to star in all of them -12 O'Clock High, The Guns ofNavarone," says Zwick, now 56, who grew up to become the director of Glory, Legends of the Fall, The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond.

    June 14, 2018 The Honorable Bob Goodlatte, Chairman The Honorable Jerry Nadler, Ranking Member House Committee on the Judiciary 2138 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 The Honorable Greg Walden, Chairman The Honorable Joe Barton, Vice Chairman The Honorable Frank Pallone, Ranking Member House Energy and Commerce Committee 2125 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Chairmen, Vice Chairman, and Ranking Members: We, the undersigned, are creatives who make our living in the entertainment industries. Whether we work in film, television, publishing, music, or photography, we and our colleagues have all been affected by the rampant, illicit activity that occurs on the major internet platforms, including Google and Facebook. There has been growing concern in Washington, in the press, and among Americans about the lack of responsibility exercised by the major internet platforms toward harmful and illegal activity taking place on their services. For decades, online gatekeepers like Facebook and Google have turned a blind eye to the proliferation of widespread societal harms on their platforms. From sex trafficking to foreign influence over our elections, from privacy to piracy, it has become increasingly clear that more needs to be done to ensure platform responsibility. In recent hearings in both the House and the Senate, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, characterized Silicon Valley’s failure to take an appropriately broad view of its responsibility as a “big mistake.” But whether the lack of responsibility was a “mistake” or something else, the failure of Facebook, Google, and others to take responsibility is rooted in decades-old government policies, including legal immunities and safe harbors, that treat these companies differently than other industries and actually absolve internet platforms of responsibility.

  • Re-Framing Masculinity in Japan: Tom Cruise, the Last Samurai and the Fluid Metanarratives of History
    50 Re-Framing Masculinity in Japan: Tom Cruise, The Last Samurai and the Fluid Metanarratives of History RE-FRAMING MASCULINITY IN JAPAN: TOM CRUISE, THE LAST SAMURAI AND THE FLUID METANARRATIVES OF HISTORY Maria GRAJDIAN1 Abstract After its release in 2003, The Last Samurai became a major success at the Japanese (and international) box-office, simultaneously marking a turning point in the illustration of Japan by Western media, and more specifically, by US-American institutions of mass entertainment, such as Hollywood. The Last Samurai has been mostly discussed on the background of the historical realities it depicts (the Meiji Restoration of 1868, the unconditional import of Western artefacts and values, the clash between old and new in Japan by mid-19th century) or from the perspective of the impact it had on the representation of Asian or other non- European cultures by American mainstream mass-media. Based on a 15-year empiric-phenomenological fieldwork in the slippery domain of Japanese mass-media, as well as in-depth literature research on new media, masculinity studies and entertainment industry with specific focus on Japan, this paper argues that the character embodied by Tom Cruise – the typical white male from Japanese perspective – displayed an unexpectedly refreshing insight into the prevalent masculinity ideal in Japan, as subliminally suggested by the Japanese characters. On the one hand, it challenges the image of the samurai, both in its historical idealization (stoic warriors and social elite) and in their contemporary adaptation (carriers of Japan’s post-war recovery). On the other hand, it questions the values incorporated by classical Japanese masculinity and suggests a credible alternative, with emotional flexibility, human warmth and mental vulnerability as potential core attributes.

    Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema By © 2019 Carl Joseph Swanson M.A., Saint Louis University, 2013 B.L.S., University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2010 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. Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Michael Baskett Ron Wilson Amy Devitt Date Defended: 26 April 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Carl Joseph Swanson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Classified by Genre: Rhetorical Genrefication in Cinema Chair: Catherine Preston Co-Chair: Joshua Miner Date Approved: 26 April 2019 iii Abstract This dissertation argues for a rethinking and expansion of film genre theory. As the variety of media exhibition platforms expands and as discourse about films permeates a greater number of communication media, the use of generic terms has never been more multiform or observable. Fundamental problems in the very conception of film genre have yet to be addressed adequately, and film genre study has carried on despite its untenable theoretical footing. Synthesizing pragmatic genre theory, constructivist film theory, Bourdieusian fan studies, and rhetorical genre studies, the dissertation aims to work through the radical implications of pragmatic genre theory and account for genres role in interpretation, evaluation, and rhetorical framing as part of broader, recurring social activities. This model rejects textualist and realist foundations for film genre; only pragmatic genre use can serve as a foundation for understanding film genres. From this perspective, the concept of genre is reconstructed according to its interpretive and rhetorical functions rather than a priori assumptions about the text or transtextual structures.

  • HI 408 War in Film and Literature
    HI 408 War in Film and Literature Cathal J. Nolan Associate Professor of History Executive Director, International History Institute Combat, killing, suffering, death. This course explores these vivid human experiences through great, and lesser, works of film and literature. Topics range widely, from medieval Japan to Africa, the Americas and Europe, the two 20th century world wars and various Asmall wars@ of the 19th through 21st centuries. We explore "the angle of vision" problem: who should we trust more, eye-witness accounts of war, great poets and novelists, modern film-makers, or military and other historians? Who gets us closest to the "truth" about war as a fundamental element of the human experience and condition? Can we draw general conclusions about the experience of war? Or do we falsely impose our own ideas on history? Note: The course is thematic rather than narrative. Some of you will likely find it necessary to do additional reading on the general history of war (Allure of Battle is assigned to this end), and reading that situates specific wars in overarching patterns of military history. I will provide guidance in class and to those who ask for it outside class. Consult the course site on Blackboard, where there are many additional features, from photos and music files to videos, to still and animated maps.
