    The Coen Brothers have established themselves as film auteurs, managing to work within the Hollywood film industry and outside of it. Their unique style, their ability to blend multiple genres into one cohesive film, is what sets them apart from their contemporaries and many filmmakers through out. But this thesis sets out to investigate the foundations of the Coens’ filmmaking abilities within an animated context, to see if the Coens have taken inspiration and influence from the animated cartoons of Warner Brothers’ The Looney Tunes and Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s Tom & Jerry.

    In order to illustrate how the same story significantly changes depending on its country of origin, I will use the example of Abre Los Ojos (Spain, 1997) and its remake Vanilla Sky (USA, 2001). The intention of my thesis will not be to prove which version is better, but rather to show how all differences are results of a different ideological and cinematographic tradition. First, I will talk about kinds of remakes and why Hollywood remakes European films. Then, I will compare the main characters in both films, and show how they reflect socio-behavioral norms, based on their country of origin. Then, I will continue with other cultural differences expressed in the language, cinematography, editing, music, acting and directing. The main sociological, therefore cinematographic difference, which prevails in all aspects and sections of the two films, is that Abre los Ojos deals with the protagonist?s inner struggles, while Vanilla Sky is a love driven film. This thematic difference reveals a lot about the audience?s preferences in Europe and America.
  • Screenwriting in the era of binge-watching

    The prevalence of video on demand has given rise to a new form of content consumption: binge-watching. This thesis explores how that shift has started to influence the screenwriting of shows that are conceived to be binge-watched.
