Riassunto

The book traces the development of action film Acting after the Westernmakers went west before 1910. The realism of late 19th century Actualities continued into the Westerns of the 1910s which featured cowboys and Indians born before the closing of the frontier in 1890. This new untheatrical style of acting developed within the 2nd unit culture of the action genres into the sound era by John Wayne and others, until a Montgomery Clift took training from stuntman Richard Farnsworth for Red River, and a Marlon Brando spent his downtime on One-Eyed Jacks studying Ben Johnson. Finally Carducci looks at the cultural collision of the sixties and seventies as Manhattan cinephiles reject the style triumphant in the careers of Bronson and Eastwood.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina

“STONE MALE is the product of reading, writing, and watching movies going back to the early 1970s and before, and collecting movie stills over most of that same period to illustrate this book. In the beginning I was able to see revivals and foreign films in derelict movie palaces built back in the 1920s and ’30s and by the end I had to make do watching films on DVD, cable television, or my laptop. I long ago decided I’d have to limit myself to books, rather than pouring through historical documents in research libraries... and then by the final years of my work a lot of that stuff popped up online and searchable even! This book benefits from all of that but mostly I imagine from the time it took to think it through.” – Joe Carducci
