Christopher Columbus & His Agent Harry

Christopher Columbus & His Agent Harry

Lulu.com
2013
pokkari
COLUMBUS AND HARRY is modern at the core as well as the surface. How does it do this? By focusing on the part of the story we never hear about - - how C.C. raised money for the trip. Thus, the script becomes a sly take on the age-old Hollywood shuffle - - panhandling the studio head (a.k.a. the King) for funds to make your project (the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria) a reality. What hip moviegoer couldn't relate to this? If we go a little deeper we can see that Columbus and Harry are in many ways like the classic pair of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Columbus is the dreamer who wants to bend reality to his will, while Harry is the realist who helps (sometimes unwillingly) with that bending. This makes COLUMBUS AND HARRY especially enticing. After all, who hasn't had a dream that was shouted down or laughed at? And unlike most people, Columbus sticks to his guns and makes his dreams come true. In short, COLUMBUS AND HARRY not only excels at being modern - - it excels at being universal.

Christopher's Journey

Christopher's Journey

Kent Richter

Lulu.com
2023
pokkari
Inheritor of a magical stone, Christopher finds only the philosophical frustration of owning a glorious power that is impotent in the face of sorrow and suffering. To find answers to his questions, he journeys to the Mountain of God, meeting along the way friendship and wisdom, enemies and death. Companions offer their own answers -- from the mystical to the nihilistic -- and in the end the "answer" of God may not be the kind of answer Christopher wants.

Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan

Robbie B. H. Goh

Bloomsbury Academic
2021
sidottu
Christopher Nolan is the writer and director of Hollywood blockbusters like The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, and also of arthouse films like Memento and Inception. Underlying his staggering commercial success however, is a darker sensibility that questions the veracity of human knowledge, the allure of appearance over reality and the latent disorder in contemporary society. This appreciation of the sinister owes a huge debt to philosophy and especially modern thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Derrida. Taking a thematic approach to Nolan’s oeuvre, Robbie Goh examines how the director’s postmodern inclinations manifest themselves in non-linearity, causal agnosticism, the threat of social anarchy and the frequent use of the mise en abyme, while running counter to these are narratives of heroism, moral responsibility and the dignity of human choice. For Goh, Nolan is a ‘reluctant postmodernist’. His films reflect the cynicism of the modern world, but with their representation of heroic moral triumphs, they also resist it.
