The Epic Film in World Culture synopsis
With the latest release of the great thriller from the wrestler to the Lord of the Ring trilogy, the epic has once again become a major feature in contemporary cinema. This new volume in the AFI Film Readers series explores the series of the birth of this type of epic film in the contemporary era, a period of growing and conflicting intensifications of national, ethnic and religious affiliation.
The original essays in this volume explore the tension between the evolving global context of film production and reception and the special origin of the epic as an expression of national myths and aspirations, to challenge our understanding of today's productive weapons as well as our perception of epic films of the past. The contributors will explore new cash approaches to old and old epic films, drawing on ideas from cultural studies, history, classics, and film studies..
