One of the central events of modern history, World War I has been
poorly presented in English language films. Torn between the
powerful isolationist movement in the U.S. and a growing hatred of
the "Hun", contemporary films were mainly propaganda calling
citizens to arms. Spurred partly by a patriotism, the American film
industry used the outbreak of the war and the government's interest
in promoting patriotic sacrifice as a means to expand and take the
lead in the film industry worldwide. More a business model than an
art form, these early efforts claimed a place of respectability for
film among the arts. Twenty years later, though films produced
about the war were few, they were technically superior and
generally carried conflicting messages about the war's mission and
value, while focusing more on storyline than history. This study of
English Language World War I films examines nearly 350 films from
1914 to 2014. Descriptions and critiques of each of the films are
included, with stories and details about the actors and directors.
