31.3245 Views of Technology in Technothrillers.
The three films "Rambo: First Blood", "Robocop", and "Terminator II: Judgment Day", all depict the potential evils of runaway technology and voice a universal fear of depersonalization. All three of these films portray some aspect of technology's worst possible effects on human beings. But all three also convey that ultimately, man must remain self-reliant and value life, integrity, and goodness to prevent the world from becoming mechanized and impersonal. 8 pgs. 17 f/c. 5b.
32.3304 Generic Convergence in Howard Hawks' "Only Angels Have Wings" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes".
This essay shall approach this challenge with reference to two of Hawks' films: Only Angels Have Wings and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Both films will be interpreted according to the critical schematics of Peter Wollen and Jacques Rivette. It will be argued that while Rivette's thematic analysis of the dichotomy of Hawks' films implies a bi-polar opposition between order and chaos, Wollen's focus on the characters as exemplifying the dramatic and the comic allows us to more closely perceive the workings of gender that underlies the comic/dramatic dichotomy in Hawks' work. In this analysis, it will be shown how Hawks' dramas are definitively male, with the masculine gender representing the dominant order, and the feminine a threat to that order. Conversely, it will be seen that in Hawks' comedies order has given way to chaos, and the landscape is dominated by women with males being - in general - figures of impotence and powerlessness. 6 pgs. bibliography lists 2 sources.
