Narration and rhetoric in crime movies
Majtánová, Martina ; Kladný, Tomáš (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
The thesis Narration and Rhetoric in Crime Films is conceived as a formal analytical case study, which examines the object of legal movies, their genre specifics and narrative differences between detective stories and within the crime genre in general. The aim of the research is to demonstrate the way the narrative specifics define genres individually and in their mutual relations. Legal movies are examined not only through the theory of the genre, but also through a chosen narrative structure and with general narrative principles. The thesis concentrates on legal movies only and ignores the legal themes presented in the television series, as well as the studied sample are films exclusively from the american, respectively british production. The main researched film is Anatomy of a Murder (1959), another sample comprises films Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Paradine Case (1947), Inherit the Wind (1960), To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). Keywords Legal films, courtroom drama, literary narratology, film narratology, narration, crime genre, detective story, fabula, syuzhet, hero's journey, Anatomy of a Murder, three act structure, narrative structure
