Download or read book The Epic Film written by Derek Elley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Charlton Heston put it: ‘There’s a temptingly simple definition of the epic film: it’s the easiest kind of picture to make badly.’ This book goes beyond that definition to show how the film epic has taken up one of the most ancient art-forms and propelled it into the modern world, covered in twentieth-century ambitions, anxieties, hopes and fantasies. This survey of historical epic films dealing with periods up to the end of the Dark Ages looks at epic form and discusses the films by historical period, showing how the cinema reworks history for the changing needs of its audience, much as the ancient mythographers did. The form’s main aim has always been to entertain, and Derek Elley reminds us of the glee with which many epic films have worn their label, and of the sheer fun of the genre. He shows the many levels on which these films can work, from the most popular to the specialist, each providing a considerable source of enjoyment. For instance, spectacle, the genre’s most characteristic trademark, is merely the cinema’s own transformation of the literary epic’s taste for the grandiose. Dramatically it can serve many purposes: as a resolution of personal tensions (the chariot race in Ben-Hur), of monotheism vs idolatry (Solomon and Sheba), or of the triumph of a religious code (The Ten Commandments). Although to many people Epic equals Hollywood, throughout the book Elley stresses debt to the Italian epics, which often explored areas of history with which Hollywood could never have found sympathy. Originally published 1984.
Download or read book Ennio Morricone written by Alessandro De Rosa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the idea of the Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the other Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words, composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa present a years-long discussion of life, music, and the marvelous and unpredictable ways that the two come into contact with and influence each other. The result is what Morricone himself defines: "beyond a shadow of a doubt the best book ever written about me, the most authentic, the most detailed and well curated. The truest." Opening for the first time the door of his creative laboratory, Morricone offers an exhaustive and rich account of his life, from his early years of study to genre-defining collaborations with the most important Italian and international directors, including Leone, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Argento, Tornatore, Malick, Carpenter, Stone, Nichols, De Palma, Beatty, Levinson, Almodóvar, Polanski, and Tarantino. In the process, Morricone unveils the curious relationship that links music and images in cinema, as well as the creative urgency at the foundation of his experimentations with "absolute music". Throughout these conversations with De Rosa, Morricone dispenses invaluable insights not only on composing but also on the broader process of adaptation and what it means to be human. As he reminds us, "Coming into contact with memories doesn't only entail the melancholy of something that slips away with time, but also looking forward, understanding who I am now. And who knows what else may still happen."

Download or read book La colonne Aur lienne written by Val Huet and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La colonne de Marc Aurèle (Piazza Colonna, Rome), érigée entre 180 et 192 de notre ère pour célébrer les victoires de Marc Aurèle sur les Marcomans et les Sarmates, demeure un monument méconnu. Classés parmi les documents secondaires, ses reliefs sont censés relever d'un style «décadent» par rapport au naturalisme de l'art classique. Ils marqueraient l'esthétique pathétique et «baroque» de l'Empire tardif et du Haut Moyen Age, menant droit à l'icône chrétienne. De surcroît, les reliefs «miniature» qui s'enroulent autour de ce monument, haut d'une trentaine de mètres, sont difficilement lisibles d'en bas. Ce problème détermine fortement le déchiffrement des gestes représentés, dont cette colonne, comme sa sœur aînée du Forum de Trajan, présente l'un des corpus les plus riches. Les enquêtes concentriques de ce volume restituent à cette œuvre d'art exceptionnelle la place qui lui revient dans le «classicisme» romain, tout en soulignant les difficultés du déchiffrement des gestes et les nombreux problèmes que pose leur interprétation. Formulées dans le laboratoire méthodologique que constitue l'histoire ancienne, leurs réflexions seront utiles à tous ceux qui doivent identifier et décrire des gestes, ou reconstruire des actions rituelles à partir de récits ou d'images. A défaut de livrer un dictionnaire de gestes «réels» des Romains du IIe siècle, ce volume esquisse un inventaire des possibilités et des illusions qui guettent le chercheur, lorsqu'il essaie d'identifier les gestes traduisant l'action.
