Money is Hollywood's great theme-but money laundered into something
else, something more. Money can be given a particular occasion and
career, as box office receipts, casino winnings, tax credits, stock
prices, lotteries, inheritances. Or money can become number, and
numbers can be anything: pixels, batting averages, votes, likes.
Through explorations of all these and more, J.D. Connor's Hollywood
Math and Aftermath provides a stimulating and original take on "the
equation of pictures," the relationship between Hollywood and
economics since the 1970s. Touched off by an engagement with the
work of Gilles Deleuze, Connor demonstrates the centrality of the
economic image to Hollywood narrative. More than just a thematic
study, this is a conceptual history of the industry that stretches
from the dawn of the neoclassical era through the Great Recession
and beyond. Along the way, Connor explores new concepts for cinema
studies: precession and recession, pervasion and staking, ostension
and deritualization. Enlivened by a wealth of case studies-from The
Big Short and The Wolf of Wall Street to Equity and Blackhat, from
Moneyball to 12 Years a Slave, Titanic to Lost, The Exorcist to
WALLE, Deja Vu to Upstream Color, Contagion to The Untouchables,
Ferris Bueller to Pacific Rim, The Avengers to The
Village-Hollywood Math and Aftermath is a bravura portrait of the
industry coming to terms with its own numerical underpinnings.
