War has had a powerful impact on the film industry. But it is not
only wars that affect films; films influence war-time behavior and
incisively shape the way we think about the battles that have been
waged. In The War Film, Robert Eberwein brings together essays by
scholars using a variety of critical approaches to explore this
enduringly popular film genre. Contributors examine the narrative
and aesthetic elements of war films from four perspectives;
consideration of generic conventions in works such as All Quiet on
the Western Front, Bataan, and The Think Red Line; treatment of
race in various war films, including Glory, Home of the Brave,
Platoon, and Hamburger Hill; aspects of gender, masculinity and
feminism in The Red Badge of Courage, Rambo, Dogfight, and Courage
under Fire; and analysis of the impact of contemporary history on
the production and reception of films such as The Life and Times of
Rosie the Riveter, Saving Private Ryan, and We Were Soldiers.
Drawing attention to the dynamic interrelationships among politics,
nationalism, history, gender, and film, this comprehensive
anthology is bound to become a classroom favorite.
