Projecting the End of the American Dream
Monday, Nov 3 9:30a

Beverly Public Library
Beverly,

Long before the Iraq war and economic crises of the early 21st century, Hollywood was depicting a grim view of life in the U. S., one that belies the prosperity and abundance of the "American Dream." While the country emerged from World War II as a world power, our sense of security had been threatened, resulting in a cinematic body of work that has America's decline and ruin as a central theme. This talk draws from popular films across all genres and six decades to demonstrate this influence.
