Digital technologies gained popularity, with nearly one billion people online by the end of the decade. The film industry wondered what the effect on cinema would be. The essays in American Cinema of the 1990's examine the big-budget blockbusters and critically acclaimed independent films that defined the decade. The 1990's' most popular genre, action, channeled anxieties about global threats such as AIDS and foreign terrorist attacks into escapist entertainment movies. Horror films and thrillers were on the rise, but family-friendly pictures and feel-good romances netted big audiences too. Meanwhile, independent films captured hearts, engaged minds, and invaded Hollywood: by decade's end every studio boasted its own "art film" affiliate. 410 0$aScreen decades. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xPlots, themes, etc 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc. 676 $a791.430973/09049 686 $aAP 44983$qHBZ$2rvk 701 $aHolmlund$b Chris$01500473 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782782503321 996 $aAmerican cinema of the 1990s$93727211 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03051pam 2200625 a 450 001 9910496137103321 005 20230828225152.0 010 $a0-585-10837-4 035 $a(CKB)111004366715262 035 $a(MH)006497588-6 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000242752 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12040480 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000242752 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10310531 035 $a(PQKB)11776066 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111004366715262 100 $a19950526d1996 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSeason of high adventure$eEdgar Snow in China /$fS.

Shanghai was to be a mere stopover, but Snow stayed on in China for thirteen years. The idealistic young Midwesterner became a journalist and developed close friendships with China's emerging revolutionary leaders. His 1938 classic, Red Star Over China, strongly influenced American views of the Chinese Communists and is still in print nearly sixty years later. S. Bernard Thomas's sensitive biography of Edgar Snow emphasizes the journalist's China experience and shows how he became involved in events along with reporting them. An epilogue takes up Snow's cold war travails and his often frustrating "bridge-building" efforts between China and the United States in the final decade of his life."--Jacket. 517 $aSeason of high adventure 517 3 $aEdgar Snow in China 606 $aForeign correspondents$zChina$vBiography 606 $aForeign correspondents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aForeign correspondents$xBiography$zChina 606 $aForeign correspondents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aJournalism$2HILCC 606 $aJournalism & Communications$2HILCC 607 $aChina$xHistory$y1937-1945 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 615 0$aForeign correspondents 615 0$aForeign correspondents 615 0$aForeign correspondents$xBiography 615 0$aForeign correspondents 615 7$aJournalism 615 7$aJournalism & Communications 676 $a070/.92 676 $aB 700 $aThomas$b S.
