CINEMA WARS: FILM AND POLITICS IN THE BUSH-CHENEY ERA

Описание: This text analyzes how Hollywood cinema and television reflected the political and social landscape of the Bush-Cheney era. The author examines various genres, including political thrillers, documentaries, and horror films, to show how they served as allegories for real-world issues like the Iraq War, global terrorism, and government corruption. While some productions promoted militarist and conservative ideals, others functioned as sharp critiques of state-sponsored torture, illegal surveillance, and corporate greed. Furthermore, the sources discuss how the media's portrayal of leaders, including the rise of fictional Black presidents, helped shape public perception and made the election of Barack Obama more thinkable. Ultimately, the collection illustrates the ongoing struggle within popular culture to interpret the complex crises and shifting ideologies of the early 21st century.
