Through philosophical and historical contextualization, he reveals the logic of what appears on the screen, a logic that shows how these films both represent and distort the historical record in order to articulate a truth that challenges conventional history as a discipline. Counterdisciplinary in its method, this exciting work asserts that no movie can ever be reduced to the absolutely authentic or the absolutely inauthentic." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Formerly CIP; Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780230116511Contents: -- acknowledgments -- Introduction: truth, history, and counterdisciplinary practices in film studies -- 1: Terrible beauties: messianic time and the image of social redemption in James Cameron's Titanic. -- 2: Infinite history: Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York and the production of the inexistent -- 3: "No dreaming, no story, nothing": Baz Luhrmann's Australia, the cinematic common, and postcolonial discourse-- Conclusion: the glorious truth about inglorious history in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious basterds -- works cited -- index --

James Cameron : interviews / edited by Brent Dunham Jackson: University of Mississippi, 2012.
Call No: 81CAM JAMAuthor: Dunham, Brent Source: USPlace: JacksonPublisher: University of MississippiPubDate: 2012PhysDes: xxxix, 219 p. ; 23 cmSeries: Conversations with filmmakers seriesSubject: CAMERON, JAMES ; TERMINATOR, THE (US, James Cameron, 1984) ; ALIENS (US, James Cameron, 1986) ; TITANIC (US, James Cameron, 1997) ; AVATAR (US, James Cameron, 2009) Summary: "James Cameron (b.1954) is lauded as one of the most successful and innovative filmmakers of the the last thirty years. His films often break records, both in their massive budgets and in their box-office earnings. They include such hits as The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Titanic, and Avatar. Part scientist, part dramatist, Cameron combines these two qualities into inventive and captivating films that often push the boundaries of special effects to accomodate his imagination. James Cameron: Interviews chronicles the writer-director's rise through the Hollywood system, highlighted by his "can-do" attitude and his insatiable drive to make the best film possible. As a young boy growing up in Canada, Cameron imagined himself an astronaut, a deep-sea explorer, a science fiction writer, or a filmmaker. Transplanted to southern California, he would go on to realize many of those boyhood fantasies. This collection of interviews provides glimpses of the filmmaker as he advances from Roger Corman's underling to "king of the world." The interviews are drawn from a number of sources including TV appearances and blog conversations, which have never been published in print. Spanning more than twenty years, this collection constructs a concise and thorough examination of James Cameron, a filmmaker who has almost single-handedly ushered Hollywood into the twenty-first century." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Includes bibliographical references and index; Includes filmographyISBN: 9781617031328Donation: Donated by Senses of Cinema, 2013Contents: -- introduction -- chronology -- filmography -- How to direct a terminator / Thomas McKelvey Cleaver/1984 -- The 1984 movie revue: James Cameron interviewed by David Chute / David Chute/1985 -- Writer-director shows the special effect energy can radiate / JoAnn Rhetts/1986 -- Aliens: an out of this world communication with director James Cameron / Victor Wells/1986 -- James Cameron takes a plunge / Alan Jones/1989 -- James Cameron takes a second plunge / Alan Jones/1989 -- Aliens: James Cameron interview / Nigel Floyd/1992 -- The hero's journey / Syd Field/1992 -- Approaching the sequel / Syd Field/1992 -- Iron Jim / John H.
