CM 351 Global Blockbusters

An in-depth study of films around the world that are enormously successful at the box office.  Hollywood leads the world in producing blockbusters, which dominate screens in distant corners of the globe.  Over the past few decades, other cinemas from around the world (Korea, China, Japan, Hong Kong and India) have become quite successful in producing their own blockbusters.  These films are rooted in local cultures and aesthetic traditions. The course will focus on analysis, economics, and exhibition of blockbusters.  Exercises involve short essays and creative projects related to blockbusters.
