The decade from 2000 to 2009 is framed, at one end, by the
traumatic catastrophe of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center
and, at the other, by the election of the first African American
president of the United States. In between, the United States and
the world witnessed the rapid expansion of new media and the
Internet, such natural disasters as Hurricane Katrina, political
uprisings around the world, and a massive meltdown of world
economies. Amid these crises and revolutions, American films
responded in multiple ways, sometimes directly reflecting these
turbulent times, and sometimes indirectly couching history in
traditional genres and stories. In American Cinema of the 2000s,
essays from ten top film scholars examine such popular series as
the groundbreaking Matrix films and the gripping adventures of
former CIA covert operative Jason Bourne; new, offbeat films like
Juno; and the resurgence of documentaries like Michael Moore's
Fahrenheit 9/11. Each essay demonstrates the complex ways in which
American culture and American cinema are bound together in subtle
and challenging ways.
