Hollywood has always incorporated technology in its movies, from the early stage onwards.... take the Buster Keaton films where everything evolves around the use or misuse of technology... velocity and dynamics.....the use of cars as technology in eg. socalled roadmovies.... telephones in the crime and thriller genre, where it is woven into everyday life, but has an outstanding position in the movie (or movies)..... the camera itself becomes a technology used ON screen.... from 'Peeping Tom', to the 'Conversation' to' Sex, Lies and Videotape....', weapon technology always seems to be state of the art..... especiall in police films and beyond..... many comedies play with technology, esp. household technology as a never ending source of chaos.....it might be interesting to view changes over history as to what technology is used in a film to transport the story... nothing is without meaning in a Hollywood movie..... when did videotape recorders and tapes disappear in films as objects ..... and technology....so not so much recommedning movies , but ideas and trends I find important and maybe helpful..... best from Hamburg to you Ulla..... nilz
