Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. Chariots of Fire, released in 1981, was the first of a series of films which came to be known as ‘heritage films’ released under the Thatcher administration. We examined several works which are regarded as representative of the genre, and discussed in detail the thematic, visual and ideological characteristics these films can be said to have in common.
2. We also read several leading works of criticism on the subject (including those of Andrew Higson), and carried out a detailed analysis and criticism of those works, based on our own theories which we developed in the course of our research. We were thus able to clarify the problems and weaknesses apparent in the definitions presented in those works and conducted research and discussions in attempt to come up with a new, valid definition of the heritage film.
