Film Remakes As A Comparative View Of Time

Abstracts

English: This paper examines the use of film remakes as a teaching resource to give a comparative review of time. It defines a remake and describes how the scenes discussed in the paper were selected. Film remake scenes from several films from the 1940s through to the 1990s are analysed to uncover similarities and differences in many sociocultural concepts. The paper also discusses differing sequences in using remakes for different teaching effects. The conclusions highlight the ways film remakes are a rich teaching resource for time comparisons.
