In its second edition, \u003ci\u003eOn Film\u003c\/i\u003e increased its breadth and vision considerably to encompass films such as the \u003ci\u003eMission: Impossible\u003c\/i\u003e series and Steven Spielberg's \u003ci\u003eMinority Report\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this significantly expanded third edition Stephen Mulhall adds new chapters on the Jason Bourne films, the fourth \u003ci\u003eMission: Impossible\u003c\/i\u003e movie, JJ Abrams' \u003ci\u003eStar Tre\u003c\/i\u003ek and \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: Into Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, and Ridley Scott's \u003ci\u003ePrometheus \u003c\/i\u003e(in which he returns to the \u003ci\u003eAlien\u003c\/i\u003e universe he created). In so doing, Mulhall reappraises in fascinating ways the central issues taken up in earlier editions of \u003ci\u003eOn Film\u003c\/i\u003e: the genres of science fiction and thriller, the impact of digital as opposed to photographic modes of technology on the nature of cinema as a medium (and its relation to television), and the fate of sequeldom in mainstream contemporary cinema (with its emphasis on remakes, reboots and multi-media superhero franchises).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Film, third edition is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy, film theory and cultural studies, and in the way philosophy can enrich our understanding of cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Mulhall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51421366059350,"sku":"9781138796850","price":38.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9781138796850.jpg?v=1758929567","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.fi\/products\/on-film-9781138796850","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
