{"product_id":"the-titanic-on-film-linda-maria-koldau-9780786463114","title":"The Titanic on Film: Myth versus Truth","description":"\u003cp\u003e The narrative surrounding the \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e's voyage, collision, and sinking in April 1912 seems tailor-made for film. With clear categories of gender, class, nationality, and religion, the dominating \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e myth offers a wealth of motifs ripe for the silver screen-heroism, melodrama, love, despair, pleasure, pain, failure, triumph, memory and eternal guilt. This volume provides a detailed overview of \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e films from 1912 to the present and analyzes the six major \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e films, including the 1943 Nazi propaganda production, the 1953 Hollywood film, the 1958 British docudrama \u003ci\u003eA Night to Remember\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1979 TV production \u003ci\u003eS.O.S. Titanic\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1996 mini-series \u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e, and James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster. By showing how each film follows and builds on a pattern of fixed scenes, motifs and details defined as the \"\u003ci\u003eTitanic\u003c\/i\u003e code,\" this work yields telling insights into why this specific disaster has maintained such great relevance into the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Maria Koldau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786463112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786463114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Linda Maria Koldau","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013786448127,"sku":"9780786463114","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ab36eb3-7ded-4670-919b-707b80ac514d.jpg?v=1767744761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-titanic-on-film-linda-maria-koldau-9780786463114","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
