Ridley Scott made an ironic reference to this when he called his legendary\u003cbr\u003escience-fiction film Blade Runner a  700-layer cake«. These buried structures are created in two ways: by elements that resonate throughout the film itself and by references to other films, texts, myths, paintings, historical events etc. that are adapted in a specific way by the director, the scriptwriter and the production team. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDetecting hidden references is only the first step in creating an analysis; the next step is to elucidate the function of the reference within the film. For instance, what does it mean that Hitchcock's heroine is attacked by birds, whereas Venus was depicted accompanied by a dove? And why does Melanie, our  Venus«, wear furs?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Konrad Kirsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3936681546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783936681543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Axel Menges\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Konrad Kirsch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448043876607,"sku":"9783936681543","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_033289a8-0639-4be4-ad05-386cee892ad2.jpg?v=1777236515","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-second-view-konrad-kirsch-9783936681543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
