ESSAY ON: Film Analysis/Imitation of Life

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page research paper that contrasts and compares two films: Imitation of Life (1934), directed by John M. Stahl and produced by Carl Laemmle for Universal and its 1959 remake, directed by Douglas Sirk and produced by Ross Hunter, also for Universal. These two films show that a remake can be similar to an original film, and yet still possess character and meaning that are distinctly its own, even when dealing with similar symbolism, plot and characterization. The paper also discusses how Far from Heaven (2002) pays homage to the 1959 version directed by Sirk. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
