A complete introduction to analyzing and enjoying a wide variety of
movies, for film students and movie lovers alike Thinking About
Movies: Watching, Questioning, Enjoying, Fourth Edition is a
thorough overview of movie analysis designed to enlighten both
students and enthusiasts, and heighten their enjoyment of films.
Readers will delve into the process of thinking about movies
critically and analytically, and find how doing so can greatly
enhance the pleasure of watching movies. Divided roughly into two
parts, the book addresses film studies within the context of the
dynamics of cinema, before moving on to a broader analysis of the
relationship of films to the larger social, cultural, and
industrial issues informing them. This updated fourth edition
includes an entirely new section devoted to a complete analysis of
the film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, along with
many in-depth discussions of important films such as Citizen Kane
and Silence of the Lambs. The chapter on television integrates a
major expansion distinguishing between television in the digital
era of the convergence of the entertainment and technology
industries in comparison to the era of broadcast analogue
television. The final chapter places film within the current
context of digital culture, globalization, and the powerful rise of
China in film production and exhibition. The authors clearly
present various methodologies for analyzing movies and illustrate
them with detailed examples and images from a wide range of films
from cult classics to big-budget, award-winning movies. This helps
viewers see new things in movies and also better understand and
explain why they like some better than others. Thinking About
Movies: Watching, Questioning, Enjoying, Fourth Edition is ideal
for film students immersed in the study of this important,
contemporary medium and art form as well as students and readers
who have never taken a class on cinema before.
