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","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040452149591,"sku":"9781476676395","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/film-appreciation-through-genres-9781476676395","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
