This is an original investigation of how movies have reflected and
helped to shape the values of a generation. From All the
President's Men to Wall Street, US films of the 1970s and 80s were
a kaleidoscope of shifting values and contrasting moral viewpoints.
Knowing that movies mirror the way we think we are - or would like
to be - O'Brien focuses on the key values (or their absence) found
in films from this period in order to see more clearly what
Americans really cherished in life, and how these values have
evolved or changed. Comprehensive and thought provoking, this book
addresses how and why movies glamorized and portrayed certain
professions; the changing role of women; the targeting of religion
for satire; the addressing of environmental issues and film's
representation of and engagement with history.
