Marx in a Texas love triangle: "Marrying up" and the classed gaze in Days of Haven

Article Abstract:

The way film's narrative is shaped by class, a focus that necessitates a close examination of the relationship between male characters is explored. The articulation of Days of Heaven's struggle for a viable masculinity is expected to make room for a closer examination of the way the language of the gaze in other films both dramatizes and constructs class, especially as it intersects with gender.

A River Runs Through It: Metanarrative and self-discovery

Article Abstract:

The film, 'A River Runs Through It' (1992) is about parental nurture, sibling friendship, growing up and leaving home, and the way nature is woven into the weft of character development. The film conveys its metanarrative meaning without such stylistic virtuosity, employing instead such well-worn conventions as the flashback, voice-over, and embedded still photographs.
