Hollywood Films: How They Generate And Maintain Attitudes Toward Religion That Have Far-Reaching Effects On American Social And Political Life
[ send me this essay ]
19 pages in length. The coming of age in the motion picture industry would have its inventors turning in their graves; their wildest dreams could never conjure up what has come to reflect reality in today's religiously-saturated medium of entertainment. Indeed, times have changed since what began back in the late eighteen hundreds as a basis for documentaries; even – and sometimes in spite of – criticism to the contrary, Hollywood movies have been extremely successful in incorporating the concept of religion on both a conscious and subliminal level as a means by which to generate and maintain attitudes toward religion with far-reaching effects on American social and political life. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

House of Spirits/Book v. Film
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares Isabelle Allende's book to the 1993 film adaptation. The House of Spirits was the first novel written by the renowned author Isabel Allende. It became a bestseller, winning Allende international attention and numerous awards. The book is, in a word, exemplary. Critical consensus on the film version (1993, directed by Billy August and released by Miramax) is much more mixed. Comparisons between the book and movie suggest that this is largely due to the enormous breadth and complexity of Allende's novel, which is difficult to successfully dramatize within the limited scope of two hour film. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
