This one's for you scholarly cinegeeks: Is there someone I can read whose name does not rhyme with Mristain Ketz on the "Problems of Denotation in the Fiction Film"? I am struggling to examine how two films' use of a certain actor adds additional connotative and denotative [extrafilmic] dimensions to each of the respective texts, but I'm drowning in bullshit semiotic jargon right now.
Seriously, it'd be easier to treat the actor like a much-loved pop song and talk about sampling and citation. Fuck, I might just do that unless you good people come through with the clarity. Thanks in advance.
