Neurocinema ─ When Film Meets Neurology
商品資訊
商品簡介
Film directors recognize that neurologic disease impacts mind and motility and often use it in a plot or defining scene.
It should be informative and educational to deconstruct the neurologic representation in film. This collection of film essays summarizes the portrayal of major neurologic syndromes and clinical signs in cinema. Many films approach reality quite closely and, as a result, are deeply moving and memorable. Equally important, these films say as much about consequences as they say about the disorder. Therefore, the main themes include sudden confrontation with a major neurologic illness, disability from chronic neurologic disease, and failure to lead a normal life.
Over 100 fiction films and documentaries are discussed in this completely original and definitive work on how film meets neurology. The book includes nearly 50 neurology topics and explains and places them in a broader context. Chapters include medicine in film, the neurologist in film, neurologic disorders in film, neuroethics in film, neurodocumentaries and neurofollies. The book also discusses actors with neurologic disease. This completely original book is accessible to all healthcare workers and wide general readership.
