Abstract
David Lean is one of the most prominent British directors of the 20th century, with a career spanning over fifty years. During that time, he took an interest into many different film genres, but his biggest contribution was in the epic genre. With films such as The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), and Doctor Zhivago (1965) he brought innovation and modernization to a genre stuck in ancient times. Lean was not interested in great fights between good and evil and rather concentrated on individual conflicts while portraying complex and tragic characters who achieve short-lived victories before experiencing their inevitable downfall. He always combined those narrative elements with breathtaking visuals to create some of the best films of all time.
Abstract (croatian)
David Lean je jedan od najistaknutijih Britanskih redatelja dvadesetog stoljeća čija je karijera trajala više od pedeset godina. U tom periodu okušao se u više različitih filmskih žanrova, ali najviše je doprinio epskom žanru. U filmovima kao što su Most na rijeci Kwai (1957), Lawrence od Arabije (1962) i Doktor Živago (1965) uveo je novine i modernizirao žanr koji je zapeo u antičkom dobu. Leana nisu zanimale velike bitke između dobra i zla već pojedinačni sukobi između složenih i tragičnih likova koji postignu kratkoročnu pobjedu te ubrzo potom iskuse neizbježan pad. Lean je te narativne elemente uvijek kombinirao s veličanstvenim prizorima te tako stvorio neke od najboljih filmova svih vremena.
