This book is a study of the 'Great Movies', that fluid category of
feature films deemed by various authorities - film societies, critics,
academics, and movie enthusiasts - to be the enduring and memorable
works of cinematic history. But what are they about? In 'Wit's End', the
author attempts to 'make sense' of these films in order to understand
their greatness in the context of their relation to other films and to
the worlds they come from and recreate on screen. To that end, we employ
the conceptual power of pragmatic social theory and the rich idea of
aesthesis to explore and arrange these films as a means of understanding
what they express about the universality of human life in our keen use
of wit, organization of social wont, and direction of cultural way. It
is hoped that such an inquiry will illuminate the glory of the great
films and contribute to the advance of film studies.
