Paperback. Condizione: New. Globally, police officers are the object of unprecedented visual scrutiny. The use of mobile phones, CCTV and personal body cams means that police are not only being filmed on the job but are also filming themselves. In popular culture, police have featured heavily on the big screen since the era of silent shorts and on television since the 1930s. Their fictional portrayals today take on added significance in light of social unrest surrounding cases of police brutality and discrimination. These essays explore 21st century portrayals of police on film and television. Chapters often emphasize the Black Lives Matter movement and consider the tone, quality, appropriateness and intention of film and television featuring police activity. Extensively covered works include Mindhunter, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Cops, Criminal Minds and RoboCop, and among the major topics addressed are policing communities, hunting serial killers, police animals, and police in historic settings ranging from the 19th century through the present day and into science fiction futures.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This wide-ranging collection of essays considers comedic screen depictions of war and conflict from the very beginning of film to today. Topics include how films and television are made, from creative choices in their scripts to their cinematography, the impact they have on audiences, and the controversial receptions these works have received. Major works examined include Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, Wilder's A Foreign Affair, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Other essays shed light on less familiar works including the controversial sitcom Heil Honey I'm Home! and some of the earliest sitcoms made in the first Golden Age of Television. Collectively the essays suggest that since the earliest days of the moving image, film and subsequently television creators have been able to make important and even serious messages about war, peace, combatants and the impact of conflict through comedy that can be satiric, romantic or affirming of a nation's ideals.
