In Hymns for the Fallen, Todd Decker listens closely to forty years
of Hollywood combat films produced after Vietnam. Ever a noisy
genre, post-Vietnam war films have deployed music and sound to
place the audience in the midst of battle and to provoke reflection
on the experience of combat. Considering landmark movies-such as
Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan, The Thin Red Line, Black Hawk
Down, The Hurt Locker, and American Sniper-as well as lesser-known
films, Decker shows how the domain of sound, an experientially rich
and culturally resonant aspect of cinema, not only invokes the
realities of war, but also shapes the American audience's
engagement with soldiers and veterans as flesh-and-blood
representatives of the nation. Hymns for the Fallen explores all
three elements of film sound-dialogue, sound effects, music-and
considers how expressive and formal choices in the soundtrack have
turned the serious war film into a patriotic ritual enacted in the
commercial space of the cinema.
