| Zusammenfassung: | "Following the release of Ridley Scott's Gladiator in 2000 the ancient world epic has experienced a revival in studio and audience interest. Building on existing scholarship on the Cold War epics of the 1950s-60s, including Ben-Hur, Spartacus and The Robe, this original study explores the current cycle of ancient world epics in cinema within the social and political climate created by September 11th 2001. Examining films produced against the backdrop of the War on Terror and subsequent invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, this book assesses the relationship between mainstream cinema and American society through depictions of the ancient world, conflict and faith. Davies explores how these films evoke depictions of WWII, the Vietnam War and the Western in portraying warfare in the ancient world, as well discussing the influence of genre hybridisation, narration and reception theory. He questions the extent to which ancient world epics utilise allegory, analogy and allusion to parallel past and present in an industry often dictated by market forces. Featuring analysis of Alexander, Troy, 300, Centurion, The Eagle, The Passion of the Christ and more, this book offers new insight on the continued evolution of the ancient world epic in cinema"-- |

Following the release of Ridley Scott's Gladiator in 2000, the ancient world epic has experienced a revival in studio and audience interest. Building on existing scholarship on the Cold War epics of the 1950s and 60s, including Ben-Hur, Spartacus and The Robe,' this original study explores the current cycle of ancient world epics in cinema within the social and political climate created by September II, 2001. Examining films produced against the backdrop of the War on Terror and the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, Chris Davies assesses the relationship between mainstream cinema and American society through depictions of the ancient world, conflict and faith. Davies explores how these films evoke depictions of the Second World War, the Vietnam War and the Western in portraying warfare in the ancient world, as well as discussing the influence of genre hybridisation, narration and reception theory. Featuring analysis of Alexander, Troy, 300, Centurion, The Eagle, The Passion of the Christ and more, this book offers new insights on the continued evolution of the ancient world epic in cinema. CHRIS DAVIES is an Honorary Research fellow at the University of Exeter. UK, from where he also graduated with a PhD in Film Studies.

Davies explores how these films evoke depictions of WWII, the Vietnam War and the Western in portraying warfare in the ancient world, as well discussing the influence of genre hybridisation, narration and reception theory. He questions the extent to which ancient world epics utilise allegory, analogy and allusion to parallel past and present in an industry often dictated by market forces. Featuring analysis of Alexander, Troy, 300, Centurion, The Eagle, The Passion of the Christ and more, this book offers new insight on the continued evolution of the ancient world epic in cinema"-- Epic films / United States / History and criticism Historical films / United States / History and criticism War films / United States / History and criticism History, Ancient, in motion pictures September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 / Influence War on Terrorism, 2001-2009 / Influence Motion pictures / Social aspects / United States Antike Motiv (DE-588)4251540-3 gnd rswk-swf Historischer Film (DE-588)4160024-1 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Rezeption & Wirkungsgeschichte (DE-2581)TH000005250 gbd Kino & Video (DE-2581)TH000012840 gbd Hollywood, Kino (DE-2581)TH000012841 gbd USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Historischer Film (DE-588)4160024-1 s Antike Motiv (DE-588)4251540-3 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, ePDF 978-1-3501-0501-0 (DE-604)BV046790392 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-3501-0502-7 (DE-604)BV046790392 Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030953695&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030953695&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Klappentext |
