{"product_id":"the-secret-life-of-movies","title":"The Secret Life of Movies","description":"\u003cp\u003eFilm blurs the line between myth and reality better than any other artistic medium, one could argue. Using movies to explore the unconscious realms of society in order to reach a better understanding of what drives it, this book examines filmmakers and films that center on schizophrenic themes of alienation, paranoia, breakdown, fantasy, dreams, dementia and violence, and that address--as entertainment--the schizophrenic experience. The loss of individual identity as reflected in the films is investigated, as well as the shamanic potential inherent in the broader theme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Horsley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 2009-07-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 299\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62806601073011,"sku":"9780786444236","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0812\/8115\/files\/content_d93e8d42-c8cc-4ef7-ad54-61cb7a0f76f5.jpg?v=1777886204","url":"https:\/\/readaura.store\/products\/the-secret-life-of-movies","provider":"Read Aura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
