A Critical Companion to Steven Spielberg

A Critical Companion to Steven Spielberg

Lexington Books
2019
sidottu
This book offers a comprehensive, detailed study of the works of Steven Spielberg, whose numerous and heterogeneous films include extremely successful productions such as Jaws (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), E.T. the Extraterrestrial (1982), the Indiana Jones saga (1981–2008), Jurassic Park (1993), Schindler’s List (1993), and Saving Private Ryan (1999), as well as less-known films such as 1941 (1979), Always (1989), War Horse (2011), and The Adventures of Tintin (2011). Spielberg's early productions stand as landmarks in contemporary cinema and his involvement with film has been spanning all cinematic genres. Today Spielberg enjoys an immense and enduring popularity around the globe and his productions have attracted (and continue to attract) both public and critical attention. This volume investigates several distinct areas of Spielberg's works and addresses the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multidimensionality of his oeuvre. The eighteen chapters use different methodologies, offering a variegated and compelling picture of Spielberg's films, from his earliest works, such as Duel (1971) and The Sugarland Express (1974), to his most recent productions, such as The BFG (2016), The Post (2017), and Ready Player One (2018).

Getting Even With Steven

Getting Even With Steven

Michael Selsman

M3 Publishers
2018

The war between men and women - will it never end? One hopes not. In this screenplay, "Getting Even With Steven;" a man is completely humiliated by his wife, morally, physically, and finally, economically, just because of an illness, a life-threatening condition particular to men, that he can't help. Oh, yes, he tries to do something about it, but fails miserably. Is it his fault he has a disease like Satyriasis? It hits one in a hundred men like Steven. They struggle- most suffer quietly, some give in to their pain, and we watch poor Steven - a victim if ever there was one.Satyriasis is also known as male nymphomania - lots of guys have it - Bill Clinton, risked impeachment over a quick blowjob behind the door of his office. Michael Douglas apparently got throat cancer from eating pussy -sorry, I meant cunnilingus. The guy who was scheduled to be the next president of France, Dominique Strauss-Kahn got derailed, and divorced, over a maid. And Italian president Silvio Berlusconi is a confirmed vagatarian.Poor Steven. As he tries to go straight, he vacillates, he wrestles, he broods and worries - all to no avail, as he once again he falls off the wagon.Steven has hurt a lot of people in his life - his wife, his former girlfriends, and his mistress, even his mom. Steven will do anything for sex. His gorgeous wife, Leslie, is about to leave him. After enrolling in a 12-step program similar to Sexaholics Anonymous, he swears he's cured - until he meets the young and gorgeous Miranda. While playing Adam & Eve on a deserted island with Miranda, Leslie receives a kidnap note and, frightened, she hurriedly disposes of all their property, $20 million worth.When Steven returns, he finds he's broke. Obviously, he's been scammed, but by who? The list of suspects is dizzying. His best friend the lawyer? His jilted secretary? Maybe even his mom? The hilarious untangling of Steven's affairs is a strong comment on contemporary American values and the power of women. Oh, and the by way, it's a franchise - the girls get to do it again, this time in Paris.

Hauled away in chains, he's accused of being an illegal alien and thrown into a subzero coffin to linger in suspended animation forever.But life turns from bad to bizarre when his rescue becomes even more bewildering than the kidnapping. Steven is about to discover that there are aliens everywhere--real intergalactic aliens hidden just out of human perception. And that the accidents destroying Steven's life may not have been so accidental after all...Now he's on the run and really learning what being human is all about. Because the only thing more traumatic than learning alien souls are reincarnating on Earth would be learning he's one of them.

The Cinema of Steven Spielberg

The Cinema of Steven Spielberg

Nigel Morris

Wallflower Press
2007
nidottu
Cinema’s most successful director is a commercial and cultural force demanding serious consideration. Not just triumphant marketing, this international popularity is partly a function of the movies themselves. Polarised critical attitudes largely overlook this, and evidence either unquestioning adulation or vilification – often vitriolic – for epitomising contemporary Hollywood. Detailed textual analyses reveal that alongside conventional commercial appeal, Spielberg’s movies function consistently as a self-reflexive commentary on cinema. Rather than straightforwardly consumed realism or fantasy, they invite divergent readings and self-conscious spectatorship that contradict assumptions about their ideological tendencies. Exercising powerful emotional appeal, their ambiguities are profitably advantageous in maximising audiences and generating media attention.

An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature

An Analysis of Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature

Joulia Smortchkova

Macat International Limited
2017
nidottu
Reasoning is the critical thinking skill concerned with the production of arguments: making them coherent, consistent, and well-supported; and responding to opposing positions where necessary. The Better Angels of Our Nature offers a step-by-step class in precisely these skills. Author Steven Pinker's central thesis is simple: mankind has become increasingly less violent over the centuries, and will continue to do so. Pinker is aware, though, that many people instinctively believe the opposite, and Better Angels is devoted to marshalling data to support and illustrate this central argument, as well as a series of secondary arguments about how and why humanity has become less violent. Pinker's interpretative skills – understanding the meaning of the complex evidence from history – are also on display throughout, as he tackles the ambiguities of his data, the problems it presents, and the viable inferences one can draw from it.
