Fi...What a silly statement for Fujiwara to make. <br /><br />First off, the opening title is very much tongue-in-cheek, as it is completely redundant as well as an overused meme (or whatever they call it nowadays).<br /><br />Secondly, the whole Nazi Occupation of Europe is excessive, so you can even argue that the opening line sets a tone of understatement.<br /><br />I think you hit the nail on the head calling this "imposing theory upon a convenient text".vwstieberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395579204736233808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802467913862929609.post-36838910605504330592013-02-25T11:52:58.823+00:002013-02-25T11:52:58.823+00:00To sort of address your question.

How does one make money from this?<br /><br />Well, I think its via the good ole fashioned marketing ploy of selling something with lurid artwork and snappy title. <br /><br />I'm not the biggest fan of film theory at the best of times- especially in those instances where it is obviously the case that the author has attempted to shoehorn a film into a pet theory. <br /><br />I have, on a number of occasions picked up books that look like they are works of fandom but the contents read like a text book. So I guess thats how money is made!<br /><br />If the books had titles that resembled the titles of the essays within I guess they would sell, but in far smaller numbers.<br />Nigel Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928346913206094978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802467913862929609.post-59078422667495312652013-02-25T11:37:42.054+00:002013-02-25T11:37:42.054+00:00Damn.
