内容説明・目次
内容説明
Law and and justice are important themes in film, not only in courtroom dramas, but also in the western, the film noir, even the documentary. In the Godfather trilogy Francis Ford Coppola shows that the Mafia possesses its own strict codes, even though they are in conflict with those of the criminal justice system. In Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors the protagonist also "gets away with murder," but with a different dramatic intent by the director and a different effect on the audience.
Shedding light on myriad facets of the law/film relationship, fourteen
contributors to Legal Reelism analyze films ranging from The
Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,It's a Wonderful Life, and Drums Along the Mohawk to Do the Right Thing,Basic Instinct,The Thin Blue Line, and Thelma and Louise. The first volume to contain work by both humanists and legal specialists, Legal Reelism is a landmark text for those concerned with depictions of justice in the media and the impact of those depictions on society at large.
