On American Christmas and the Christmas Film
Rewind to America's roots—the Plymouth Colony, December 25, 1620. The First Thanksgiving in New England is over. A light snow is falling. The First Christmas on American soil is about to begin...without a turkey, without mistletoe, without a brightly lit tree. The Puritans who settled in New England had banned Christmas and the behavior that accompanied it in their part of the New World—in Europe, there had been “rowdy public displays of excessiv…

John Ford on the Cold War: Stetsons and Cast Shadows in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
The “True Spirit” of Eating Raw Meat: London Nietzsche, and Rousseau in Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North (1922)
A heady mixture of Darwin, Nietzsche, and Rousseau, Nanook of the North is a popular romance that filmmakers Robert Flaherty and Frances Hubbard Flaherty aggressively promoted as enthnography after its release. It later capitalized on the public's nostalgia for a lost frontier and the atavistic desire to experience one's own distant beginnings
Let's Go Home, Debbie“: The Matter of Blood Pollution, Combat Culture, and Cold War Hysteria in The Searchers (1956)
As Curtis Hanson points out in A Turning of the Earth: John Ford, John Wayne and The Searchers (1998), The Searchers is not about violence. Ten years after World War II, The Searchers showcases the effects of violence on the individual, in general, and the returning hero, in particular
Rain/Drizzle/Fog: Film and Television in Atlantic Canada
As Darrell Varga explains in his introduction, the title of the anthology Rain/Drizzle/Fog: Film and Television in Atlantic Canada comes from Rosemary House's 1998 documentary Rain, Drizzle, and Fog (NFB, 1998). Varga writes: ‘The film integrates the history and geography of St. John's, Newfoundland, with the processes of culture through which geographic space is transformed into lived place’ (p. ix). Inspired by the film's depiction of culture a…
Individualism, Bentham's Panopticon, and Counterculture in Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen (1967)
An intelligent and multilayered critique of its genre and America's military mythologies, The Dirty Dozen is a groundbreaking cinematic oxymoron—a revisionist combat film that transmits its director's belief in the supreme and intrinsic importance of American individualism and alerts viewers to the dangers of panoptic thinking. The continuing popularity of this movie offers compelling evidence that Thomas Jefferson's notion of the individual's ri…
