  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • 1. Raymond Williams, the Long Revolution (Harmondsworth: Pelican, 1965)
    Notes Introduction Creativity: The Theoretical Context 1. Raymond Williams, The Long Revolution (Harmondsworth: Pelican, 1965). 2. Williams argues that while Plato and Aristotle shared the conception of art as essentially mimetic they drew different conclusions from it. Plato regarded art as a pale and worthless imitation of reality while Aristotle saw art as reflecting an idealised or higher reality. In The Creativity Question (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 1976), Albert Rothenberg and Carl Hausman identify the differences be- tween Plato and Aristotle's conception of creativity. Plato saw creativ- ity as divine inspiration, the intervention of the Gods, while Aristotle tended to regard creativity as a productive activity following natural laws. 3. M. H. Abrams, The Mirror and the Lamp (London: Oxford University Press, 1953). 4. Colin Campbell, The Romantic Ethic and the Spirit of Consumerism (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1987), p. 182. 5. The phrase is borrowed from the seminal work by Mario Praz, The Romantic Agony (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1933). 6. Frank Kermode, Romantic Image (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1957). 7. Karl Miller examines numerous literary examples of 'the dynamic metaphor of the second self' in Doubles: Studies in Literary History (New York: Oxford University Press, 1985). 8. Williams, p. 44. 9. Warren Steinkraus, 'Artistic Creativity and Pain' in M. Mitias (ed.), Creativity in Art, Religion and Culture (Amsterdam, 1985), talks about various aspects of pain associated with the creative process including the pain of making a selection from limitless material, the pain of personal exposure; of having one's innermost feelings made transpa- rent through the art-work, and the pain of suppressed emotion.

  • Love in the Time of the Troubles: the Cultural Politics of Tragic Form in Northern Irish Cinema*1)
    문학과 영상 2018 봄 Love in the Time of the Troubles: The Cultural Politics of Tragic Form in Northern Irish Cinema*1) Lee, Hyungseob / Hanyang University In her introduction to the Oxford edition of Romeo and Juliet, Jill L. Levenson offers three “angles” from which to view the perennially popular play. At one level, it is a play that “dramatize[s] a love-story that transcends time and place”; at another, modern psychology has enabled us to see “Shakespeare trac[ing] paradigm of adolescent behavior”; yet at another level, it is “a tragedy [that] enacts a love-story shaped by the social and literary conventions of late sixteenth-century * This work was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea Grant funded by the Korean Government [NRF-2008-361-A00005]. Love in the Time of the Troubles / Lee, Hyungseob 125 England” (1). Philosophy, history and psychology vie one another for the interpretive prerogative. Shakespeare’s play is a universal paean of love in tragic form, a thwarted Bildungsdrama or an ingenious representation of, and response to, political situations of its own time thinly disguised as a youthful romance. Romeo and Juliet can endure all these interpretations and more, we are led to believe. What goes often unnoticed or submerged in the overflow of the two young lovers’ concurrent romantic self-aggrandizement and self-effacement is the fact that violence pervades the whole play. Swordsmen, militia, gangsters, medieval versions of rednecks and bitniks—whatever you call them, they are the ones who people the city of Verona, and intimations of violence are everywhere.

DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Kevin M.

Flanagan 2015 iii THE BRITISH WAR FILM, 1939-1980: CULTURE, HISTORY, AND GENRE Kevin M. Flanagan, Ph.D. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 This dissertation argues that discussions of war representation that privilege the nationalistic, heroic, and redemptively sacrificial strand of storytelling that dominate popular memory in Britain ignore a whole counter-history of movies that view war as an occasion to critique through devices like humor, irony, and existential alienation. Instead of selling audiences on what Graham Dawson has called “the pleasure culture of war” (a nationally self-serving mode of talking about and profiting from war memory), many texts about war are motivated by other intellectual and ideological factors. Each chapter includes historical context and periodizing arguments about different moments in British cultural history, explores genre trends, and ends with a comparative analysis of representative examples.

  • IAFOR International Conference on the City 2017 Official Conference Proceedings
    London and the Cockney in British Cinema Robert Cross, Doshisha University, Japan The IAFOR International Conference on the City 2017 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract This paper surveys the cinematic representations of Cockneys from the 1940s to the present day. Beginning with feature films made during the Second World War, it examines how the image of the traditional Cockney underwent a radical transformation during the second half of the 20th century. The analysis follows the major social upheavals in British society––the austerity of the 1940s, the affluence of the 1950s, the Swinging London scene of the 1960s, the social strife of the 1970s, Thatcherism in the 1980s, and the aftermath of the Thatcher years in the 1990s––and looks at how the image of the Cockney in films has been shaped by and responded to these changes. The discussion focuses in particular on the impact of the shift from communal to individual values and lifestyles. Keywords: British cinema, Cockney, London iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org Introduction This paper examines some of the key ways in which Cockneys have been represented in British cinema in the period from the Second World War up to the present day. My approach, given the breadth of the subject, will be to move through the period chronologically and discuss certain landmark films, social developments, film characters and iconic Cockney actors. My particular interest will be in exploring how screen Cockneys have been constructed in response to the polar demands of, at one end of the societal value spectrum, communality and altruism and, at the other, individuality and criminality.
