Throughout film history, war films have been in constant dialogue
with both previous depictions of war and contemporary debates and
technology. War films remember older war film cycles and draw upon
the resources of the present day to say something new about the
nature of war. The American Civil War was viscerally documented
through large-scale panorama paintings, still photography, and
soldier testimonials, leaving behind representational principles
that would later inform the development of the war film genre from
the silent era up to the present. This book explores how each of
these representational modes cemented different formulas for
providing war stories with emotional content.
