  • P. T. Anderson‟S Dilemma: the Limits of Surrogate Paternity
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online Sydney Studies P.T. Anderson's Dilemma P. T. Anderson‟s Dilemma: the Limits of Surrogate Paternity JULIAN MURPHET A while ago now, Fredric Jameson located the Utopian dimension of Coppola‟s first Godfather film (1972) in „the fantasy message projected by the title of this film, that is, in the family itself, seen as a figure of collectivity and as the object of a Utopian longing‟.1 In a late-capitalist America beset by an irreversible „deterioration of the family, the growth of permissiveness, and the loss of authority of the father‟, Coppola‟s Sicilians „project an image of social reintegration by way of the patriarchal and authoritarian family of the past‟. (33) To be sure, the ethnic group may preserve within its anachronistic familial webs a relatively untarnished „Name of the Father‟, that can be trotted out for nostalgic wish-fulfilment on celluloid; but it goes without saying that commercial American cinema has always turned on the institution of the family, to the extent that „in a typical Hollywood product, everything, from the fate of the Knights of the Round Table through the October Revolution up to asteroids hitting the earth, is transposed into an Oedipal narrative‟. 2 Jameson‟s Utopian account of the „ineradicable drive towards collectivity‟ (34) betokened by the family drama in American mass culture surely overlooks that most stubborn obstacle to its realization, both within any given plot, and more practically in everyday life: namely, the father himself.

We’re thrilled to have Martin McDonagh’s Irish yarn, The Cripple of Inishmaan, on our stage as the second show of our 2018/19 season. The play is set in a tiny and remote Irish village where everyone is keen to know everyone else’s business, where gossip is a major part of daily life and the truth becomes harder and harder to glean. It’s a dark and funny tale that is perfect for our own fact-challenged time. We think of the Antaeus community as a village, too (albeit a much healthier and vibrant one than windswept Inishmaan!) and a big change is coming our way: our Co-Artistic Director Rob Nagle will be stepping down from this position in February. It’s not possible to fully express the gigantic impact Rob’s leadership has had to Antaeus.

GOD ONLY KNOWS: FAMILY IN THE FILMS OF PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON A Thesis Presented to the Faculty Of The Lee Honors College at Western Michigan University By Jordan Rossio December 2013 Rossio 2 Gamblers, pornographers, motivational speakers, oilmen, cult leaders, and the dark side of Adam Sandler's comic persona. These are the topics that are explored by one of the greatest of the modern day American filmmakers, Paul Thomas Anderson. Through each of these unique and interesting film subjects, Anderson is able to explore the theme of family and the importance of the ones that we create for ourselves. From Sydney's diner conversation with John in Hard Eight up to the final goodbye between Lancaster Dodd and Freddie Quell in his most recent work The Master, Anderson's films have delved deep into this theme of family and how those surrogate families that people create can be more meaningful than the biological ones.

  • God Only Knows: Family in the Films of Paul Thomas Anderson
    God Only Knows: Family in the Films of Paul Thomas Anderson An Honors Thesis by Jordan Rossio My Thesis • In his six film career, director Paul Thomas Anderson has made films which deal with the theme of family. All of Anderson’s films feature characters who are lonely or from broken home lives. These characters often come together to form surrogate families. These surrogate families give the characters the companionship and positive human connections that they desperately need. This is especially true of his first three, heavily personal films. My Motivation • When I came to Western Michigan University as a freshman, I was astounded by the amount of text and books related to the study of cinema in Waldo Library. • There were countless scholarly works on many of the major directors, yet I could not find any major works or essays written about Anderson, who is my personal favorite filmmaker. • I chose to do my thesis on Anderson because I feel that he has a unique and interesting voice that deserves to be academically studied just as much as some of the greats of filmmaking. My approach • I chose to look at the first three films directed by Anderson: – Hard Eight – Boogie Nights – Magnolia • These three films were intensely personal for Anderson • There is a quote by Anderson where he says that the first three films “reflected his life in small and intimate ways”, followed by there “is a lot of my dad in these movies” My research approach • Since Anderson is a relatively new director there is not a lot of major academic writing on him (compared to Hitchcock or even one of Anderson’s contemporaries Quentin Tarantino) • That is why I used interviews and personal comments by Anderson himself • These come mostly from newspaper and magazine interviews • One of the most useful tools for my research was the P.T.

Careless in Red by Elizabeth George (March 8, 2012) Scotland Yard's Thomas Lynley discovers the body of a young man who appears to have fallen to his death. The closest town, better known for its tourists and its surfing than its intrigue, seems an unlikely place for murder.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. The Straight Story, production by Walt Disney Pictures, distribution by Buena Vista Productions; The Bridges of Madison County, production by Amblin/Malpaso, distribution by Warner Bros; The Age of Innocence, pro- duction and distribution by Columbia Pictures; The Insider, production by Touchstone Pictures, distribution by Buena Vista. 2. Online and newspaper film reviews often provide such assertions about modern works. On The Last King of Scotland’s (Kevin Macdonald, 2006) depiction of Idi Amin, Chad Webb (2008) claims that ‘Despite its uncanny brutality, The Last King of Scotland is a severely intimate picture. Director Kevin Macdonald devises this tale in a way that impeccably displays the dictator’s development from enchanting to malicious’. Film critic of The Evening Standard Derek Malcolm (2008) praises Atonement ( Joe Wright, 2007) from a similar perspective, declaring that ‘[A]n intimate portrait of three intertwining lives is its ultimate triumph’. For a persuasive study of the viewer’s close relationships with people in film, see Murray Smith (1995) and Jens Eder (2006). 3. The source for The Insider is Marie Brenner (1996). One report on the factual origins of The Straight Story is provided by Martha P. Nochimson (2000). The source novels for the other two films are by Robert James Waller (1992) and Edith Wharton (1948). For a comparative account of book and film versions of The Bridges of Madison County see Richard Alleva (1995) and Walter Metz (1997). For corresponding articles on The Age of Innocence see Philip Horne (1998) and Karli Lukas (2003). 4. See, for example, V. F.

    Down East Films presents A Film by Ian McCrudden Running Time: 97 minutes Publicity: Boston Seattle Marianne Christopher Principio, Publicist Email: [email protected] Regional Marketing Manager & Senior Regional Phone: (617) 628-8777 At Landmark's Hillcrest Cinemas 3965 Fifth Avenue, Suite 200 Florida San Diego, CA 92103-3192 USA Jan Mitchell Email: [email protected] (619) 294-9266 phone Phone: (954) 788-1067 (619) 294-4278 fax Synopsis in Brief Eben has lived on a small island off the coast of Maine for his entire life, part of a close- knit community whose lives revolve around lobster fishing. When mainland lobstermen brazenly stray into waters reserved for Islanders, threatening their already tenuous livelihood, Eben loses his temper. Dire consequences result and the fisherman is forced to leave the island. Ian McCrudden’s emotionally charged feature follows Eben upon his return home five years later. The community that Eben left has changed, and he is no longer wanted there; his presence opens old wounds that most would prefer to forget. But Eben is ill equipped and unwilling to start again somewhere else, and patiently begins trying to reestablish a claim to the only life he has ever known. Synopsis in Detail On a small fishing island off the coast of Maine, families have lived and worked off the sea for generations. Everyone knows each other. Birthright is akin to law and men inherit their fishing territories. Eben Cole, like the other fishermen, continues his family’s legacy of harvesting lobsters from the waters surrounding the island. Every year, the lobstermen’s catch gets smaller, thanks in no small part to the Mainlanders encroaching on the local claim.
