Cinematic “Imaginative Mobility” – Kathryn Bigelow’s “Point Break” and its Remake by Ericson Core

Summary/Abstract: The text is an analysis of Kathryn Bigelow’s “Point Break” (1991) and its remake of 2015, directed by Ericson Core. The comparison between the two versions illustrates the differences between narration, style, atmosphere and meaning of each, resulting from different attitudes of the filmmakers to genre formulas and conventions governing the presentation of male characters. The idea of a remake can be considered in terms of the category of “imaginative mobility” created by John Urry, who treats all mobility as the core of social life. In the interpretation of each film, it is necessary to refer to social and cultural contexts, including such phenomena as the new spirituality described by Zbigniew Pasek. The extensive analysis of male characters reflects different attitudes of filmmakers to models of masculinity and related images. That is why the author refers to the concept of John Bly (American specialist in men’s studies) and the critical approach of Pierre Bourdieu.
