For Classic Movie Fans

[Jet]

Excellent post and very interesting. I have comments and probably questions on some things right off the bat. I have to finsih working out and then I'm going to spend time in here later. it's 9:30 EDT.

And that Elia Kazan thing is huge and there's a "catharsis" (I don't think that's the right word) around all that....kind of like Arthur Miller's Crucible had a thing going on too. Kazan snitched, if I remember right, and Miller condemned the House with the Crucible, but we'll talk later.

Excellent stuff...welcome back to the thread. I would be more interested in 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (I dont ID as a lesbian, I'm male-transgendered) so i don't have quite knowledge or level of interest on those aspects of film as much as I do on these other topics.

catch ya later

1. The Women Who Know Too Much: Women and Violence in the Films by Alfred Hitchcock
2. Gender Passing in Narrative Film
3. Women and Madness in Narrative Film
4. What do Invasion of the Body Snatchers, On the Waterfront Elia Kazan and Communism Have in Common? A Look at the House of Un-American Activities Committee and the Hollywood Blacklist
5. Cinema and the Law: Trial Films
6. The Bad and the Beautiful: Women in Film Noir
7. The Lesbian Character in Film
8. Deviant Desires: Femme Fatales, Crones, Lesbians and Female Friendship
9. Intro to Film Studies

I use feminist film theory, queer theory, mainstream film theory in my writing. I also have an interest in the graphic novel.

How's that to start?
