Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Films for American History and Problems In the selection and organization of social science materials the teaching staff Of the country, co-operating with the social scientists and the representatives Of the public, should assume complete professional responsibility and, resisting the pressure of every narrow group or class, make choices in terms of general and enduring interests of the masses Of the people. 2 To aid in this process of selection and organization the following principles Of film selection have been set forth. It is to be understood that these principles are subject to alteration and correction as more Objective evidence is Obtained. They do, however, summarize and apply the best knowledge Obtained up to the present to guide us in the choice Of motion picture material for use in the social studies. In presenting a set of criteria against which social studies films may be checked, the writer has drawn upon the large amount of literature available on this subject. Most Of this information is, however, in general form, equally applicable to any type Of film. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Hollywood Censored written by Gregory D. Black and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a series of sex scandals rocked the film industry in 1922, movie moguls hired Will Hays to clear the image of movies. Hays tried a variety of ways to regulate movies before adopting what became known as the production code. Written in 1930 by a St Louis priest, the code stipulated that movies stress proper behaviour, respect for government, and 'Christian values'. The Catholic Church reinforced these efforts by launching its Legion of Decency in 1934. Intended to force Hays and Hollywood to censor films, the Legion of Decency engineered the appointment of Joseph Breen as head of the Production Code Administration. For the next three decades, Breen, Hays, and the Catholic Legion of Decency virtually controlled the content of all Hollywood films.

Download or read book Moments That Made the Movies written by David Thomson and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first fully illustrated work, David Thomson breaks new ground by focusing in on a series of moments—which his readers will also experience in beautifully reproduced imagery—from seventy-two films across a 100-year-plus span. An indispensable counterpart to both his classic Biographical Dictionary of Film (called “a miracle” by Sight and Sound) and his lauded recent history, The Big Screen (“a pungently written, brilliant book” according to David Denby), Moments takes readers on an unprecedented visual tour, where the specifics of the imagery the reader is seeing are inextricably tied to the text. Thomson's moments range from a set of Eadweard Muybridge's pioneering photographs to sequences in films from the classic—Citizen Kane, Sunset Boulevard, The Red Shoes—to the unexpected—The Piano Teacher, Burn After Reading. The excitement of Moments dynamic visuals will be matched only by the discussion it incites in film circles, as readers revisit their own list of memorable moments and then re-experience the films—both those included on Thomson's list and from their own life—as never before. Moments That Made the Movies will undoubtedly reaffirm Thomson's place as—according to John Banville—“the greatest living writer on the movies.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Movie Made Children The basic material which Mr. Forman has used in preparing this volume is found in the studies which are listed by title on the opposite page. These investigations, made during 1929 to 1933 at the request of the Motion Picture Research Council, were supported by the Payne Fund, an organization interested in the radio, motion pictures and reading in relation to children and youth. The investigators, whose names appear as authors of the studies, organized a program of research and dele gated to members of the group the responsibility for studying one or more problems in the field in which they were competent. These studies were carried on independently. The investigators were not expected to pool their findings as a group and make a pronounce ment about the movies. They rather conducted twelve independent investigations to furnish data for those who wished to use them. As chairman of the group I was requested to write a summary of the studies in a monograph of the series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
