In \u003cem\u003eMillennial Masculinity: Men in Contemporary American Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e, editor Timothy Shary collects fourteen contributions that consider male representation in films made at the turn of the century to explore precisely how those questions have been dealt with in cinema. Contributors move beyond the recent wave of \"masculinity in crisis\" arguments to provide sophisticated and often surprising insight into accessible films.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapters are arranged in four sections: \"Performing Masculinity\" includes a discussion of Adam Sandler and movies such as Milk; \"Patriarchal Problems\" looks at issues of fathers from directors such as Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, and David Fincher; \"Exceptional Sexualities\" examines male love and sex through movies like Brokeback Mountain and Wedding Crashers; and \"Facing Race\" explores masculinity through race in film. Sean Penn, Jackie Chan, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, and Philip Seymour Hoffman are some of the actors included in these analyses, while themes considered include police thrillers, psychotic killers, gay tensions, fashion sense, and the burgeoning \"bromance\" genre.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Taken together, the essays in \u003cem\u003eMillennial Masculinity\u003c\/em\u003e shed light on the high stakes of masculine roles in contemporary American cinema. Film and television scholars as well as readers interested in gender and sexuality in film will appreciate this timely collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Shary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814334350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814334355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.07w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013","brand":"Timothy Shary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056911479039,"sku":"9780814334355","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_504ab828-aa05-4b20-806c-05e425db50da.jpg?v=1685043955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/millennial-masculinity-timothy-shary-9780814334355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
