Political analysis of American cinema

/in /by

American cinema, usually viewed as entertainment, often also engages in politics. Movies offer, among other things, an alternative way to present arguments and project views. Select, view, and critically analyze a film. Examples of suitable films include American Hustle and Wall Street. How does the film represent Americans from the standpoint of, for instance, beliefs, values, opinions, norms, and identities? Relate to discussions about issues that concern government, such as policy making. Compare this to the political discourse on American political culture. Movies are sometimes touchstones for debates about political concerns. How does this assertion relate to your film? Discuss your position on the issues and situate yourself in the debates.
