Collection

• Surveying over two hundred films, including such perennials Christensen identifies ways in which the genre has changed to reflect the periods of its history. In doing so he builds the argument that even the most politically progressive of Hollywood's films are suffused with conservative themes, mirroring and reinforcing traditional American values such as individual solutions to public problems, mistrust of politicians and of power, and faith that the political system works as it should.
