“Stories(s) of North American Cinema” by Hilario J. Rodríguez
“On September 11, 2001, when two planes crashed into the Twin Towers, something only conceivable in the fantasy of cinematic storytelling came true. A feeling of vulnerability and the idea that nothing would ever be the same spread throughout the world. What happened in New York and Washington happened later elsewhere.
This book analyzes current North American cinema and the influence that those events have had on shaping a new perspective of directors and screenwriters. Plots, characters, dialogues, and montages have reinterpreted the fundamental themes that the film industry deals with today: civil conflicts, violence, unhappiness, nostalgia... Through the analysis of almost one hundred films and with a very personal look, the author reworks an interpretive history of contemporary American cinema.”
