PS 365 - Politics and Movies

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

Movies both reflect society and also shape how we think about the world around us. This course will look at how movies can be used for specifically political purposes, such as propaganda films, as well as how politics and political issues, including war and the role of the media, have been portrayed in "mainstream" Hollywood films. We will be examining not just the surface depiction of events, but also how movies can subtly shape our political beliefs. The course will be structured around the in-class viewing of the films and discussion and analysis by the whole class.
