Meet me in st louis (classical cinema, genre and utopia) Modes of producion made invisible styles, structures, genre etc. create a familiar subject posiion for viewers ied to capitalist mode of producion. Meet me in st louis numerous problems are opened up in the ilm. Many stories of of-screen problems (judy garland was being a diva. She didn"t like how tooie got a lot of atenion in the movie) David thomson in sight and sound reminds us of how utopian" the ilm is- how it masks the aspects of producion through its fabricaions. Tooie smashing the snow family- overcome by return to patriarchy and romance. The wizard of oz (victor fleming, 1939) also addresses contemporary issues- and also through song. Somewhere over the rainbow seen as possibly subversive. Let us now praise famous men (james agee and walker evans) not all problems are directly resolved, but utopian" imagery smooths things over.
