COOL FILM + ARTICLE: Mad Men, Story & Cinematography
Good 'ol Frank Baker passed this wonderful video essay (and the parody) below my way - not only is the initial film wonderful + but they use of Miles Davis is quite well! MadMen is teachable but you have to pre-screen any episode you might want to use in the classroom - it is not The Sopranos but the creator was a writer at the Sopranos. Don Draper = The Quiet, less evil and much better looking Tony Soprano. In my opinion - after the first five episodes - brilliant show.
This article in Vanity Fair gives you a bit of the back story on the show... (plus for you Brit Lit Folks it has a great allusion to Paradise Lost.
Don and Betty’s Paradise Lost
Entering its third season on a fresh wave of Emmy nominations, AMC’s Mad Men is the most stylish—and perhaps best—show on television. Inside its meticulous reconstruction of the precipice that was New York advertising circa 1960, where the men and women of Sterling Cooper smoke, drink, love, and lie, the author learns about the struggle of Mad Men creator (and former Sopranos writer) Matthew Weiner, the casting of Jon Hamm and January Jones as Don and Betty Draper, and the obsession that fuels each episode. Photographs by Annie Leibovitz.
