This readable and innovative book on the American Civil War as presented in Hollywood cinema goes deep into the best of these films, arguing that rather than belonging to a single genre, Civil War films are to be found across genres, as domestic melodramas, Westerns or combat films for example. As such, they have fresh insights to give into the war and into America's sense of itself. Shooting the Civil War shows how these films create an American ancestor who is blameless and undertakes a process of reinscription into the American historical family. It also makes the remarkable revelation that no Civil War film yet made has had a central black character who survives the war, fathers the children of the future, and can stand as representative of the whole American people. To this extent, the book is saying, the Civil War remains a work in progress"--Publisher description. 651 0 $a United States $x Motion pictures and the war. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Motion pictures and the war. 650 0 $a War films $z United States $x History and criticism. 650 17 $a Amerikaanse burgeroorlog. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Oorlogsfilms. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Beeldvorming. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten. $2 gtt 830 0 $a Cinema and society. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009284311-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009284311-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0913/2009284311-t.html 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040242.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825092844.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C436852253811DF9B7CADF9A7D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
