MALA 60153 - Culture and American Cinema

An exploration of cinema as a form of American social expression. As cultural artifacts, films are produced in specific historical contexts by and for cultural groups. Films produced for American audiences reflect American values, myths, and behavior and thus constitute an important form of social expression. We will examine movie genres and directors from the 1930s through present day to see how Hollywood's images of America changed over time.
