Description

Explore how Hollywood cinema shapes our understanding of society's most pressing issues through this comprehensive Routledge analysis of hundreds of films. This book examines racism, social inequality, sexism, and gerontophobia as depicted across Hollywood's most enduring genres, from classic romantic films like Casablanca to contemporary war movies spanning World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The study includes alienation films such as Five Easy Pieces and Lost in Translation, alongside pivotal school movies from Goodbye, Mr. Chips to Dead Poets Society and Dangerous Minds. By studying how cinema portrays relationships, education, aging, and social hierarchies, this work reveals the profound influence Hollywood narratives exert on collective attitudes and cultural perceptions of war, romance, academia, and generational experience.
