Description

This scholarly examination explores ten influential films released between 9/11 and the Iraq War, analysing how cinema reflects and shapes American debates about foreign policy and national identity. The study traces the portrayal of America across diverse war narratives: Pearl Harbor depicts World War II, We Were Soldiers and The Quiet American explore the Vietnam War, whilst Behind Enemy Lines, Black Hawk Down and Kandahar examine humanitarian intervention efforts. The analysis extends to Collateral Damage and In the Bedroom, which examine vengeance in response to loss, Minority Report's exploration of futurist pre-emptive justice, and Fahrenheit 9/11's direct critique of Bush's war on terror. Cynthia Weber presents a stimulating investigation into how these films embody complex moral and political questions about American military action, offering readers a nuanced understanding of cinema's role in articulating contemporary anxieties about war, justice and American values.

Key Features

Examines films addressing personal trauma and vengeance themes such as Collateral Damage and In the Bedroom in response to violent loss.
