DARKNESS IN THE BLISS-OUT: A RECONSIDERATION OF THE FILMS OF STEVEN SPIELBERG
Book ID/图书代码： 12771015B77993
English Summary/英文概要： While there has been a significant outpouring of scholarship on Steven Spielberg over the past decade, his films are still frequently discussed as being paternalistic, escapist, and reliant on uncomplicated emotions and complicated special effects. Even those who view his work favorably often see it as essentially optimistic,reassuring, and conservative. James Kendrick takes an alternate view of Spielberg’s cinema and
proposes that his films even the most popular ones that seem to trade in
easy answers and comforting, reassuring notions of
cohesion and narrative resolution—are significantly darker and more emotionally and ideologically complex than they are routinely given credit for.
Darkness in the Bliss-Out demonstrates, through close analysis of a wide range of Spielberg’s films, that they are only reassuring on the surface, and that their depths embody a complex and sometimes contradictory view of the human condition.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 虽然在过去十年里史蒂文斯皮尔伯格获得了显著的奖项，他的电影仍然经常被讨论的是家长式的，现实的，并依赖复杂的情感和复杂的特效的电影。即使是那些认为他作品很好的人往往认为它本质上是乐观的，令人放心的，和保守的。詹姆斯肯德里克对斯皮尔伯格的电影持有另一种观点，认为他的电影是最流行的，趋向于简单的答案和令人欣慰的衔接和叙事概念是明显比他们平时受到的赞誉更黑暗，在情感和意识形态上更复杂的。
《欣喜若狂之后的黑暗》表明，通过对斯皮尔伯格各种电影的分析，这些电影在让人放心的表面上，深度体现了一个复杂的，有时是矛盾的人性观点。(YYW)

"This is a necessary book – I would say indispensable to Spielberg studies. The book develops the current burgeoning critical mass of scholarly writings on Spielberg in new ways, and is a timely addition to the field. Kendrick is an elegant writer, has grounded his persuasive close readings in a thorough account of film historical and critical contexts, and presents his case with due scholarly rigor." - Linda Ruth Williams, Professor of Film, University of Southampton, UK
