About this product

Product Information

John David Ebert's Celluloid Heroes & Mechanical Dragons examines how movies since the late 1960s have developed a myth of the machine for our contemporary society. Modern techlogy, Ebert argues, has created a new environment which raises problems that our modern myths, in celluloid form, attempt to resolve by presenting a number of possible scenarios ranging from demolition of the machine, as in The Lord of the Rings , to symbiosis, as in the Star Wars films. Ebert examines films such as Apocalypse Now , 2001: A Space Odyssey , Videodrome , Close Encounters of the Third Kind , and A.I. , for answers to the question on how modern man can retain his humanity while living in a society which is increasingly dominated by the techlogy he has created.
