This is the first full-length study of masculinity and film style.
Cinema is not just an intellectual or cerebral experience. They
also make us feel: especially popular movies. This is a book about
one aspect of how cinema makes us feel as well as think. Although
all these aspects are interwined, Men's Cinema is about
identification as well as analysis, about mise-en-scene alongside
representation and narrative. Men's Cinema reflects on how we as
spectators are invited to understand, desire or identify with
Hollywood's vision of men and masculinity via mise-en-scene, from
the classical era to the present day, and how more recently
Hollywood has built up and refined the 'language' of 'men's cinema'
via a series of recurrent, refined tropes that evoke masculinity,
from a posse of men walking - often in slow motion - towards the
camera to the ecstatically fast editing of the classic action
sequence. It offers a new theorisation of men in Hollywood cinema
via close textual analysis. It is structured around case studies
which exemplify and illustrate the distinctive aspects and tropes
of men's cinema. It is written in an accessible style.
