Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação analisa os desdobramentos e as variações do melodrama no cinema
norte-americano, buscando refletir sobre sua perpetuação, revisitação e atualização. Para
tanto, a pesquisa consiste em traçar um panorama histórico e estético do gênero, com o
intuito de compreender sua origem, formação, características e elementos, além de analisar
os procedimentos e implicações do efeito moralizante e da imaginação melodramática, para
assim, verificar como o melodrama é utilizado pelos cineastas estudados. A investigação
pretende identificar o estilo de encenação melodramática nos realizadores D. W. Griffith,
Frank Borzage, King Vidor, John M. Stalh, Max Ophuls, Nicholas Ray, Vincente Minnellli,
Douglas Sirk, Clint Eastwood, James Gray e Tood Haynes, artistas que contribuíram
significativamente para a cristalização do gênero durante boa parte da história do cinema
norte-americano.
