Providing extensive discussion of each of Ridley Scott's films - from 1977's The Duellists through the recent blockbuster epic Gladiator - author Richard A. Schwartz considers the power that even a filmmaker working well within the boundaries of the Hollywood studio system has to define and promote social values. Scott's frequent choice of the genre film as his mechanism for this makes him a particularly fascinating figure in contemporary cinema.

2020For Schwartz, the dominating question of twentieth-century studies asks how a person can live an authentic, fulfilling, moral, self-actualized life centered around some notion of proper action in a secular, relativistic, machine-dominated, and uncertain world, where most social and political relationships center around power and wealth instead of virtue or truth. He sees this dilemma as an overriding issue in modern arts and letters, as well as in the conduct of everyday life and international politics.
Richard Alan Schwartz is a member of the American Culture Society, American Humor Studies Association and Institute for Evolutionary Psychology.
Ana-Maria Figueredo is Richard's ex-spouse. Now he is married to Carolynn Schwartz.
