Parting from the deconstructive works of Buster Keaton to contemporary “meta” exercises, we will interrogate and explore Hollywood’s own historic obsession with the mystique, the magic, and the madness of the movies. We will approach these topics from the perspectives of film history and the theoretical concepts of cinephilia, spectatorship, and reflexivity. Films include:&nbsp;<i>Sherlock Jr.</i>,&nbsp;<i>A Star is Born</i>,&nbsp;<i>Sunset Boulevard, Singin’ in the Rain</i>,&nbsp;<i>Silent Movie</i>,&nbsp;<i>The Purple Rose of Cairo, Hearts of Darkness</i>,&nbsp;<i>Ed Wood</i>, <i>Adaptation</i>,<i> Tropic Thunder</i>, and many more.</p> <p class="lead">&nbsp;</p> <p class="lead text-align-center"></p> <p class="lead text-align-center">&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 10 Dec 2020 21:31:06 +0000 Anonymous 759 at /cinemastudies
