The 1960s on Film tells the narrative of the 1960s through the lens
of the movie camera, analyzing ten films that focus on the people,
events, and issues of the decade. Films create both an impression
of and - at times for younger audiences - a primary definition of
events, people, and issues of an era. The 1960s on Film examines
the 1960s as the decade was presented in ten films that focused on
that decade. Discussion will focus on both what the films have to
say about the era and how close they come to accurately depicting
it. For example, films such as Mississippi Burning and Selma tell
the story of racial conflict and hope for reconciliation in the
1960s. Other films such as The Right Stuff and Hidden Figures show
the deep fascination America had at that time with the burgeoning
space program and NASA, while Easy Rider and The Doors analyze the
role of rock music and drugs among young people of the decade. The
Deer Hunter studies the controversies surround the war in Vietnam.
Mad Men, JFK and Thirteen Days also receive significant treatment
in this exciting volume. Provides a window into the 1960s by
assessing how films about that decade portrayed people, events, and
issues of the era Shows how movies can teach us about a given era's
history and make that history more engaging through the dramatic
arts and storytelling Provides a new perspective on the
well-researched decade of the 1960s, through the lens of the movie
camera Suggests areas of further exploration for students of
popular culture
