### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Damaged
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023*

There is a cut on the front cover that looks like the book was damaged when cutting open the box (was delivered to me in a padded envelope package), the front cover and first page is tearing off, and water damage.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Package and Book came damaged
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022*

This book arrived damaged with a slit in the package AND the book. I’m not sure how this happened. I need this book for one of my graduate classes with weekly assignments due and I paid $51.00 dollars for. There has to be something that can be done without me having to send this book back because I absolutely need it. Disappointed.

    Thorough textbook for film studies students
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 15, 2021*

This is a textbook aimed at those studying film history, or representations of race, class, gender, sexuality and ability in film. It's not instantly appealing - the book is large and floppy with thin pages, no colour (unless you count grey boxes around some text) and slightly pixelated, lowish quality images. However, the text is thorough and well-written and covers a wide array of important subjects.The book starts with an introductory chapter on studying film form and representation, and the way it relates to or portrays ideology. This is followed by a chapter on the structure and history of Hollywood filmmaking, five chapters on race in film (specifically covering whiteness, African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Latinos), two chapters on class (representations of it before and after the Great Depression), four chapters on sex and gender, three chapters on sexuality and a chapter on (dis)ability. Each chapter is split into clear sections, and ends with discussion questions (that you can think about solo, or talk about in seminars) and suggestions for further reading. Important words throughout the book are highlighted in bold (several in most paragraphs) which helps students to identify the subjects at a glance. I'm quite impressed with how well these subjects are overviewed in the book, though if you have interest in one specific area you may be better off obtaining a book simply about that subject (eg. gender). This is certainly a great place to start in studying the way that movies can shape or reflect cultural views and prejudices.As for whether it has any appeal outside of film, media or cultural representation students, I would think it's unlikely as most casual readers would prefer something more accessible in terms of form (not a large, unwieldy textbook), but the writing is not so dense and academic that it couldn't be appreciated by a newbie to film study, so if you fancy it, go ahead!
