He then focuses upon character, motivation, and conflict in famous examples of detective, war, science-fiction, horror, and cult cinema. He also addresses the enduring emotional appeal of these genres to spectators from one generation to the next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreenberg then fuses psychoanalysis and cultural criticism. He probes a type of big, bad picture which emerged in Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s, embracing nearly every genre, with a particular focus on the hero's pathological narcissism in such films as \u003ci\u003eRambo\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTop Gun.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvey Greenberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42980609392758,"sku":"9780231072878","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/screen-memories-9780231072878","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
