Many moviegoers want a better understanding so that they might better articulate their experiences. This midpoint between theorizing and plot summary is not difficult to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Since their introduction just before the turn of the 20th century, the vast majority of narrative films have followed the same structure--now known as Classic Hollywood Cinema. This book examines what \"classic\" means, particularly in Westerns, gangster films, film noir, horror, science fiction, slapstick comedy and screwball comedy\/romance. The reader is introduced to concepts of film theory, which leads to a better and deeper appreciation of the movies. A 20-page comprehensive industry glossary of film terms is included for easy reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Patrick Gillespie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476676395","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175686627465,"sku":"9781476676395","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_12f3d375-2a7c-4b0c-9b95-910ce4243e73.jpg?v=1768892060","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/film-appreciation-through-genres-9781476676395","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
