The mechanism of social destruction in the American cinematograph of the 1970s. (on the material of the film analysis of F.F. Koppola)
Abstract
This article presents a study of the mechanisms of social destruction in cinematic art. With the help of a comprehensive analysis of various research approaches – philosophical, psychoanalytic, sociocultural, etc., the concept of “social destruction” was considered, its key characteristics were revealed and the relevance of the declared topic in modern scientific knowledge was justified. Based on the philosophical and art historical analysis developed by famous scientists of the Krasnoyarsk school of cultural studies and art history V.I. Zhukovsky and N.P. Koptseva, an analysis of two films by the American film director F.F. Coppola is presented: “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Today”. According to the authors, these works are bright representatives of the culture of violence in modern cinema. Careful consideration of different levels of the artistic image of the selected works made it possible to conclude about different options for the work of the film mechanism of destruction.
