Many moviegoers want a better understanding so that they might better articulate their experiences. This midpoint between theorizing and plot summary is not difficult to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Since their introduction just before the turn of the 20th century, the vast majority of narrative films have followed the same structure--now known as Classic Hollywood Cinema. This book examines what \"classic\" means, particularly in Westerns, gangster films, film noir, horror, science fiction, slapstick comedy and screwball comedy\/romance. The reader is introduced to concepts of film theory, which leads to a better and deeper appreciation of the movies. A 20-page comprehensive industry glossary of film terms is included for easy reference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46458105921687,"sku":"9781476676395","price":3710.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476676395.webp?v=1769184202","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/film-appreciation-through-genres-9781476676395","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
