What does that say about us? Do we remain law-abiding citizens who wouldn?t hurt a fly?   Film historian David Thomson, known for wit and subversiveness, leads us into this very delicate subject. While unpacking classics such as Seven, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Strangers on a Train, The Conformist, The Godfather, and The Shining, he offers a disconcerting sense of how the form of movies makes us accomplices in this sinister narrative process.   By turns seductive and astringent, very serious and suddenly hilarious, Murder and the Movies admits us into what Thomson calls ?a warped triangle?: the creator working out a compelling death; the killer doing his and her best; and the entranced reader and spectator trying to cling to life and a proper sense of decency. 606 $aMurder in motion pictures 615 0$aMurder in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43655 700 $aThomson$b David$f1941-$01676941 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819416503321 996 $aMurder and the movies$94110511 997 $aUNINA
