{"product_id":"9781476613406","title":"Second Takes: Remaking Film, Remaking America","description":"\u003ci\u003eSecond Takes\u003c\/i\u003e presents the history of English language cinema by focusing on cinematic remakes and on how cinema has been replaced by new forms of “media.” Remakes, with their innate plurality, offer the most substance for concentrated cultural analysis of how movies reflect and shape American culture.    Analyzing the archetypes that recur in this culture reveals how movies are an increasingly dangerous surrogate for the actual.    Close readings are presented of such works as popular favorites as Cronenberg’s \u003ci\u003eCrash\u003c\/i\u003e, Disney’s \u003ci\u003eThe Parent Trap\u003c\/i\u003e, Ferrara’s \u003ci\u003eBad Lieutenant\u003c\/i\u003e, Hitchcock’s \u003ci\u003ePsycho\u003c\/i\u003e, Kubrick’s \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork Orange\u003c\/i\u003e, Lynch’s \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e (the film) and Welles’ \u003ci\u003eThe Magnificent Ambersons\u003c\/i\u003e, while unearthing pictures ripe for rediscovery such as \u003ci\u003eOne More Tomorrow, Strange Illusion\u003c\/i\u003e and Andy Warhol’s \u003ci\u003eVinyl\u003c\/i\u003e.
