A Night at the Movies: The Gigantic World of Epics

Taglines

Overview

A Night at the Movies: The Gigantic World of Epics looks at Hollywood’s biggest screen spectaculars from all sides, including the genre’s beginnings, literary adaptations, great epic directors and actors, the challenges of making big-budget movies, classic set-pieces and epic music scores. The special also looks at how the genre fell out of favor with audiences and filmmakers in the ‘70s and ‘80s, only to be reborn with more recent films like Gladiator, and Dances with Wolves trilogy. Throughout, the special is packed with classic scenes and behind-the-scenes images from such films as The Birth of a Nation (1915), Gone With the Wind (1939), Samson & Delilah (1949), The Ten Commandments (1956), Ben-Hur (1959), El Cid (1961), King of Kings (1961), Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Doctor Zhivago (1965).

Une nuit au Cinéma : les grandes épopées

Taglines

Overview

Le début du cinéma coincide aussi avec celui de l'épopée. "Naissance d'une nation", de David W. Griffith, sorti en salles en 1915, et, plus ambitieux encore, "Intolérance", du même auteur, que le public put voir en 1916, brossaient déjà de spectaculaires tableaux de la guerre de Sécession pour le premier et, pour le second, à travers quatre époques, de la lutte entre l'amour et la haine dans l'histoire. Le cinéma fut riche ensuite de grandes fresques, comme "Le Pont de la rivière Kwai" ou "La Porte du paradis" qui, sans effets spéciaux, savaient faire flamboyer un récit épique.
