	Encyclopedia: Michael Mann (film director) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Michael Mann (born February 5, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois) is a film director, screenwriter, and producer.
		Mann puts it, "the human need to extract, transform, distribute, and consume the resources of nature for sustenance." It is distinct from political power ("the control of the state") and ideological power (basically, the myths and rituals that give human beings access to a sense of ultimate meaning).
		Mann had a difficult time finding props and wardrobe from the corresponding period, so almost everything that was used in the film was made special for this film.

		Mann observes that fascist movements also recruited on the basis of frustration with the slow pace of political elites in creating the infrastructure to provide basic services to the population.
		Mann also says that "the degree of capitalist support for fascist movements varied considerably between the different countries." What was consistent, however, was that the core fascist constituencies had strong vested interests in the growth and dynamism of the nation-state.
		Mann was a reader in sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science from 1977 to 1987.

	Michael Mann's cinema of images
		Michael Mann has been a writer, director, producer and an actor on a range of film and television projects spanning a period of over thirty years.
		The formal choices Mann makes -- his mise en scene, the length of time he holds onto an image, the use of false colour filtration and lighting, extended sequences filmed with a hand-held camera, and strikingly original music and sound scores -- are composed with the deliberateness and resonance of still images.
		Mann is as masterful at depicting the fragility of human relationships as he is at choreographing epic montage sequences.

	Michael Mann
		Mann's fragmented-image technique further manifested itself on such TV detective series of the '70s such as Starsky and Hutch and Vegas, both of which utilized his scripts (though they were directed by others in the standard conventional style of the period).
		When it was announced that Mann would produce and direct the 1992 filmization of Last of the Mohicans, purists despaired, complaining that the "youthful" director (who in reality was 49 at the time) would unduly modernize, trivialize, and homogenize the story.
		Mann was back in the Academy Award hunt two year's later with Ali, a biopic of the beloved boxer Muhammad Ali that focused on both his athletic accomplishments and his political battles.

		Mann is most famously known for the "hockey stick," a plot of the past millennium's temperature that shows the drastic influence of humans in the 20th century.
		A community skeptical of human-induced warming argued that Mann's data points were too sparse to constitute a true picture, or that his raw data were numerically suspicious, or that they could not reproduce his results with the data he had used.
		One of Mann's more public punch backs took place in July 2003, when he defended his views before a congressional committee led by Senator James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, who has called global warming a "hoax." "I left that meeting having demonstrated what the mainstream views on climate science are," Mann asserts.

		The “fun” in Mann’s work is to be found in his craftsmanship; his deep inspections of the psychology of main characters; and in the gorgeous landscapes—interior and exterior —his men must negotiate.
		Mann has said that he was one of the few graduates from his high school to go on to college.
		The movie’s hand-held roughness (Mann operated the camera for about a third of the film) gave it a broadcast news immediacy, but it was the film’s brazen artistic passages and the fact that it was stuffed with the fullness of life which made me not want to let go of it.

		Mann has written most of the films he has directed, and in virtually all of them, from The Jericho Mile to Collateral, difficulties with family, marriage and relationships drive the characters.
		Mann's Miami Vice traces its evolution to a two-word memo from an executive suite at NBC: "MTV cops." From that humble beginning sprang five years of coolness by Philip Michael Thomas and stubble on Don Johnson.
		Heat (1995), directed by Mann and starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, was a remake of an unsold pilot Mann made for NBC in 1989, called L.A. Takedown.

		Mann is also something of a modern-day Roger Corman - he remains committed to the use of new and unusual talents.

		Mann makes it clear how influential studying at the University of Wisconsin at Madison was to his career as a filmmaker.
		Belushi says of Mann that by the time he's on the set, he's researched every aspect of the film, a trait that adds a certain realism, not to mention control.
		Back in features, Mann then made his mark with such successful films as "The Last of the Mohicans," "Heat," "The Insider" and "Ali." As the docu reinforces, this director finds a way to make style a subject of his films, which renders them individual all the way.

	IGN: Featured Filmmaker: Michael Mann
		And while Mann necessarily cut certain flashback material present in the novel that explained the killer?s pathology, he smartly (and radically) did choose to preserve the story?s all-time great narrative curveball: virtually halting the police procedural plotline to depict the killer?s tentative, troubled romance with a sweet blind woman (Joan Allen).
		Mann, always a filmmaker who understands the effective use of music, is especially on top of things with the soundtrack, which effectively uses everything from solo work by Dead Can Dance?s Lisa Gerrard to German industrial legends Einsturzende Neubauten to Moby.
		Mann?s loose adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper?s tale of war and romance in the 1750s is still his biggest commercial hit to date, and my initial reaction was that it was something of a sell-out (it was his first film since Manhunter and I was disappointed to see Mann doing something so conventional by comparison).

		Mann is prickly about this idea -- he doesn't want his work reduced to shoes and architecture.
		Mann, who is 61 but projects a kind of boyish intensity of interest, winces slightly.
		Mann's large office is decorated with mementos from his films -- photographs from ''Ali''; models of sets; a painted poster from Koreatown that was used in ''Collateral''; a stuffed, snarling bobcat that was last seen in ''Heat.'' On the set, he is famously maniacal about details.
