Cinema, literature, and television shape our collective political
understanding. Their dramas enact and test political ideas,
especially when they use the political myths widely available in
popular forms such as epics, noirs, and satires. Popular Cinema as
Political Theory explores mythmaking in popular genres,
demonstrating how to see political arguments in the conventional
characters, deeds, and settings that enable movies to entertain us.
Analyzing favorites such as The Prestige, L.A. Confidential, Star
Trek Into Darkness, No Country for Old Men, and O Brother, Where
Art Thou?, John Nelson provides a provocative and original account
of political lessons from summer blockbusters and cinematic
masterpieces alike.
