Abstract:
|
"This thesis will analyze the auteur styles of Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón, and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu amidst an era of globalization focused on reducing the personal authorship of films. In recent years, Hollywood studios have identified the international market as a greater source of profit than domestic markets. In response, they have catered films to appeal to broad international demographics by producing films with universally applicable content and themes at the cost of personal artistic expression. Del Toro, Cuarón, and Iñárritu have crafted auteur styles based in universal legibility, appealing simultaneously to Hollywood’s broad target audience as well as maintaining their personal authorship and style. This incorporation of globalized goals within auteur style has brought the three directors into the ranks of a new category of filmmaker, the global auteur."
