Why We Fought
From the inception of the feature film, war and conflict have been obvious and compelling subjects for filmmakers, as the history of American cinema amply demonstrates. War films have served as both mirrors and lenses, sometimes reflecting quasi-official or popular perspectives and at other times affording valuable if discomfiting critical insights into the nature of war in general and of Americans at war in particular.

From 1965 to 1972, over 3,403,100 American service person…

Eventually, the viewing will absorb ten years of his life (p. v.).* Until re…

Film and American Studies
buffs who seem to be obsessed with directorial styles or the minutiae of film language. Of course, a myopic concern for texts is familiar to students of American literature. New Critics of the late 1940s and early 1950s were guilty of such shortsightedness, and many who now identify themselves with American Studies recoiled.
