Discussing films like\u003ci\u003e Memento\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInception\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eShutter Island\u003c\/i\u003e alongside the TV series \u003ci\u003eMr. Robot\u003c\/i\u003e, among others, Rosalind Sibielski highlights how the construction of alternate realities allows the protagonists to work through bereavement and past trauma. Sibielski also argues that, as part of this process, the protagonists not only find themselves questioning their memories and what they believe to be true about their identities, but they are also forced to reevaluate who they are as men and the way that they define their manhood. Finally, \u003ci\u003eGrief, Madness, and Crises of Masculinity in Mind-Game Films\u003c\/i\u003e examines these stories of intersecting crises of reality and crises of masculinity within the context of millennial culture wars in the US over the way that manhood is, can be, or should be enacted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosalind Sibielski\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of English and film studies at Rhode Island College\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46546616451269,"sku":"9781666936445","price":192.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/8XzN8scNyf9781666936445.webp?v=1784227335","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/grief-madness-and-crises-of-masculinity-in-mind-game-films-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
