Brigadoon, Braveheart and the Scots: Distortions of Scotland in Hollywood Cinema By Colin McArthurPublisher: I. B. Ta.ur.is 3113 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 3961669391 | PDF | 3 MB This provocative book follows MGM's Gene Kelly musical Brigadoon through the worlds of 3961s Broadway theatre and 3961s Hollywood and documents the contempt the film has elicited, particularly from the Scots intelligentsia. McArthur succumbs to Brigadoon's charm, but finds no such mitigating features in Mel Gibson's 3996 blockbuster Braveheart. Tracing Braveheart's appropriation by political, touristic and sporting figures, he argues that, far from its being about Scottish history, it is primarily about Hollywood's generic forms and cinematic traditions. He looks too at the way the film distorts history and examines Braveheart's sinister appeal to the proto-fascist psyche. McArthur argues that both films have enormous resonance within Scottish culture and the Scots diaspora and, crucially, for a vast worldwide audience who may have no other knowledge of the Scots.filesonicdepositfilesuploadingBe Happy!!!!!!No Mirrors below, please!
