Brooklyn, New York, a distinct borough of New York City, is known
for its distinctive vernacular, its communal feel on the fringes of
a booming city, and its famous bridge, a gateway to the unlimited
opportunities in Manhattan. Of course, Coney Island deserves a
mention as it garners its own fame independent of Brooklyn, its
parent locale. New York City moviemaking got its start in Brooklyn
when Charles E. Chinnock shot his silent film The Encyclopedia of
New York City in 1894. Since then, many films have been made,
studios opened and stars born in Brooklyn, contributing to its
undeniable influence in the film industry. This work is a
collection of essays on the topic of Brooklyn as portrayed in film.
It includes a discussion of race relations in films dealing with
Brooklyn, the story of Jackie Robinson as shown on film, the
changing face of cinematic Brooklyn and some thoughts on a Brooklyn
filmgoers experience. The combination of Brooklyn and baseball in
the films of Paul Auster is examined, as well as the typical
portrayal of a Brooklyn native in film.
