In today's visually-oriented world, powerful images, even images of images, are circulated in an eternal cycle, gaining increased acceptance through repetition. History becomes an endless loop, in which repeated images validate and reconfirm each other. Based on archival materials, many of which have become only recently available, World War II, Film, and History offers an informative and a disturbing look at the complex relationship between national myths and filmic memory, as well as the dangers of visual images being transformed into "reality."
War films--including antiwar films--have established the prevailing public image of war in the 20th century. Examining how the public memory of war in this century has often been created more by a manufactured past than a remembered one, World War II, Film, And History offers an informative and, at times, disturbing look at the complex relationship between national myths and filmic memory, as well as the dangers of visual images being transformed into "reality". 22 halftones. 2 maps.
