Riccio\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most significant trends to emerge in popular culture in recent years has been the growing fascination with post-apocalyptic films. From films like \u003ci\u003eArmageddon\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eWorld War Z\u003c\/i\u003e, we have become preoccupied with the end of the world. You cannot even turn on your TV without being chased by zombies, rogue meteors, or some kind of deadly virus. While the growing popularity of these films shouldn't be a surprise to anybody, the roots of this trend go far deeper and longer than most people realize. This post-apocalyptic film journey has actually gone on for more than 100 years. This book covers films from 1916 to 2016. Part of the discussion includes coverage of the very first film of this genre, a Danish silent film called \u003ci\u003eThe End of the World\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eVerdens Undergang\u003c\/i\u003e). More recent films that are part of this journey are \u003ci\u003eCell\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThese Final Hours\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Road\u003c\/i\u003e. A summary and analysis is included for each film, and I have a rating system from one to five Exploding Worlds for each movie. Over 110 films are discussed. While some of the major films in this category are, of course, discussed, so are many others that are rather rare and obscure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47360581173497,"sku":"9780692096055","price":13.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/SE5VcnlJeC9UbVM5WVMybHhjb09RZz09.webp?v=1769884501","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/seeking-the-end-post-apocalyptic-films-1916-2016-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
