The films discussed span a diversity of forms, genres and production practices, and encompass low- and medium-budget studio and independent releases (such as American History X, Stir of Echoes and The Believer), star and/or auteur vehicles (such as The Siege, Fight Club and American Beauty), and high-budget, high-concept science-fiction films and franchises (such as Starship Troopers, Minority Report, the Matrix and X-Men trilogies and the Star Wars prequels). Central to the book is the detailed analysis of the films, which is contextualized historically in relation to a period that saw the significant rise of the far Right. The book concordantly affords a wider insight into fascism and its various manifestations and how such have been, and continue to be, registered within American cinema. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z United States $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108001 650 0 $a Fascism and motion pictures $z United States. 650 0 $a Fascism in motion pictures. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008000949 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108003 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027384 650 7 $a Fascism in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01903208 650 7 $a Fascism and motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921579 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 0 $a History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85061212 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121021243.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E67C3FCA0C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
