2) Bullet Boy (2005), about youth crime in East London, composed by Massive Attack member Robert Del Naja. Its focus on a UK issue and lack of big budget or stars mark it as independent.
3) This Is England (2006), about 1980s skinheads in England, exploring the subculture's divisions. Like the others, its British focus, small budget and unknown cast qualify it as independent.
Action films originated in the early 20th century with swashbuckling adventure films. They evolved through the decades, influenced by genres like war films and westerns.

early twentieth century. Through “formula” Hollywood film, the zeitgeist and ideologies
of all facets of American life have been documented for the masses; they have both
influenced and been influenced by our cultural conceptualizations of contemporary life.
In the current digital age, film has increasingly portrayed technological advancement in
our lives as normative, developing story lines that range from the fantasist computer-
controlled world of The Matrix to online romance in You’ve Got Mail.
However, these depictions do not stand alone; in society and its film
representations, technology and the culture by which it is utilized are bound together,
acting and reacting to one another. These bonds have combined to transform gender. In
this paper, I will examine the relationships between technology and gender relations in
one of the most widely recognized and popular film collections of modern film studies:
James Bond Movies, focusing most closely on the films made in the 1990s post-internet
culture: Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another
Day, all starring Pierce Brosnan.
Actresses, most famously including Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder, Honor
Blackman as Pussy Galore, and Maud Adams as Octopussy, who co-starred with early
actors playing James Bond, were christened “Bond Girls” by promotional advertisers; the
phrase has since become part of the vocabulary of popular culture in America. Their
3
roles as Bond’s love interests, partners, or enemies have all been characterized by their
submission to his charismatic persona and masterful manner, which in and of itself has
become an institution of popular culture: phrases such as “Bond. James Bond” and
“Shaken, not stirred” have become familiar to moviegoers and non-moviegoers alike.
However, women in Bond movies do not all simply wait to be rescued by the handsome
spy; often, they provide worthy adversaries or partners for Bond, skillful in the arts of
espionage and subterfuge themselves.
The art of espionage and spy culture is deeply rooted in Cold War America,
hence its incarnation in these action-adventure films. However, as competing
technologies become a greater facet of global communications, interaction and warfare,
technology in many forms has played a greater part in films dealing with these issues.

9.1 Film: Beyond Entertainment
Since their inception, movies have provided inexpensive mass entertainment; cinema is an incredibly popular medium. As we have already seen, audiences spent more than $10 billion on movie tickets in 2009. People definitely enjoy going to the movies;
that much is obvious. It is clear that movies have had a profound impact on society. And
not only are audiences influenced by what they see at the movies; audiences influence
what is shown in theaters as well.
Whether it is in appearance, fashion, or behavior, films romanticize a certain lifestyle
that is eagerly imitated by audiences. Fashion magazines promise that we can “Get
Angelina’s Look” if we follow the tips inside. Celebrity gossip publications keep readers
up-to-date on the comings and goings of seemingly everyone who has appeared in a
movie. The Internet and social media are practically choked with chatter about film—
box-office results, reviews, gossip, and more. Beyond such obviously shallower aspects,
film can influence how we live, our morality, and our behavior. What is open to discus-
sion, however, is the direction of the influence—do films influence culture or do they
reflect it? Or is it both?

in Network was given
new currency in the 2010
electoral campaign when
a gubernatorial candidate
uttered part of a line from
the film: “I’m as mad as hell
and I’m not going to take
this anymore.”

CHAPTER 9Section 9.1 Film: Beyond Entertainment
Yes, we go to the movies to be entertained; as Steven J. Ross says in Movies and American
Society, we go “to laugh, cry, boo, cheer, be scared, thrilled, or simply to be amused for a few
hours. But movies are something more than just an evening’s entertainment. They are also
historical documents that help us see—and perhaps more fully understand—the world in
which they were made” (Ross, 2002). Movies, in other words, have something to say, often
beyond their literal meaning. Even b.
The document provides context about the 1930s science fiction film Frankenstein. It discusses how the film was produced by Warner Bros. with a budget of $217,000 and went on to earn $300,000 at the box office. The film followed popular science fiction trends of the time involving mad scientists experimenting with resurrecting life. It featured Boris Karloff as the monster and told the story of a scientist bringing back a wrongly executed man, who returns in a monstrous form seeking vengeance. The document provides historical context on the film industry and popularity of science fiction in the 1930s during the Great Depression era.
The document provides context about the 1930s science fiction film Frankenstein.

It summarizes the film's plot, where a scientist brings a wrongly executed man back to life, leaving him with a monstrous appearance seeking vengeance. It provides production details, noting it had a $217,000 budget and grossed $300,000, and contextualizes the film within science fiction trends of the era focusing on mad scientists animating life.
The BBFC was established in 1912 to standardize and rate films shown in the UK. Initially there were only U and A ratings, but the H rating was added in 1932 for horror films and the X rating in 1951 for films unsuitable for those under 16. Many early films faced controversy and censorship due to depicting anti-social or criminal behavior that was feared might influence viewers, such as The Wild One (1953) and No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1944). Freaks (1932) and Song of the South (1946) were banned for depicting human deformity and racial issues seen as potentially offensive or racist. Rebel Without a Cause (1955) also generated social controversy but was passed with cuts for an '

Thomas Benson analyzes several classic crime films from 1940 to 2011 that depict crime in different tones, from comedic to dark. The earliest film, The Bank Dick from 1940, shows crime in a humorous light through W.C. Fields' comedic performance. Later films like The Italian Job in 1969 and Goodfellas in 1990 merge lighter and darker elements. More recent films like Layer Cake in 2004 and Scarface in 1983 portray crime in a grittier, darker manner through graphic violence and drug content. Overall, the document traces how crime films have evolved from more joking portrayals to increasingly realistic and serious depictions over time.
Action films usually feature a lone male protagonist in conflict with bad guys. Early action films were based on westerns and piracy. Alfred Hitchcock directed some of the earliest spy/crime films in the 1930s and 1940s like "The Man Who Knew Too Much" and "Sabotage", establishing the lone wolf spy character. The James Bond franchise, beginning with "Dr. No" in 1962, popularized the stylish secret agent and led to many other spy franchises and films being made.
