Jarhead follows the journey of Anthony Swofford during his service in Middle East. Throughout his journey, Swofford presents a unique perspective on a variety of issues that indirectly affect American life and the “war” on terrorism. Some of the issues touched on include the mental stability and mentality of American soldiers, the influence of politics in the presentation of war, and the construction of a marine. Through these themes, along with the unique perspectives offered by the characters in the film, the audience is able to gain insight into the corruption and lies that are “war”. This insight ultimately helps the audience analyze the text deeper and enables them to draw the similarities in current events and dissect what they

The film captures the frenetic energy involved in campaign work and also the stress it can have. On of the things the film highlights is the emotional drain campaigning can have with the effort it requires and its highs and lows. They sit for hours trying to figure out the best strategies, and often just to deliberate which word choices would appeal best to the American people. The volunteers and strategists are seen at emotional stages throughout the film as the story of Clinton 's campaign plays out. Ultimately, however, their hard work pays off as, in the conclusion of the film they get their victory as Bill Clinton is elected President.

Although many historical filmmakers alter some events and use fiction as a tool in providing an accurate historical representation, the makers of “The

Michael Moore's latest film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," presents a critical look at the administration of George W. Bush and the War on Terrorism. In this film Moore investigates the rapid growth of the United States government and its trend of trampling the rights of individuals, and the corporatism that is spawned out of the close ties between big government and big business during wartime. Michael Moore may not convince all audiences, but is successful for its factual accuracy in which the evidence spoke for itself, and at the same time proclaimed Moore's artistry in transposing and splicing scenes to create impressions that supported his allegations and opinions. Michael Moore has employed two main techniques in an attempt to successfully

However, to condemn those in positions of power for their actions is to misinterpret the volatile climate of the Cold War Era in which they operated. The polarized political thought and the turbulent domestic events that shadowed everyday life had a profound impact on American thought and culture and the lives of public figures who dominate the story. To truly understand the impact of these characters and the climate of the American Cold War theatre, the complexity of the dynamics within society must be understood from the point of view and the

The film Swing Vote is an American political culture film that relies heavily on film subtext to depict the negative attitude many Americans have towards voting, corruption inside a political election, and the spectacle of media frenzy. While the film gives a light hearted impression of a rare political snafu it is still consistent with the main themes of other political films of manipulation, money lust, and power hungry political heads that will stop at nothing for their own personal gain. We also see the political candidates merely as puppets while their campaign managers are the ones truly calling the shots. Swing Vote is a unique political culture film because due to the ordeal in the film’s plot, the politicians are at a disadvantage when they are usually the ones in power. With the tables turned we see how they construct their corrupt schemes and the direct effect it has on the character representing the American perspective. The strong symbols that convey the cultural norms in America’s political system are in need of a deeper analysis.

In Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a naïve Jefferson Smith sets off for Washington D.C. as a United States Senator, where he learns that politics is not as transparent as it may seem. Released in 1939, one of the most successful years for film, Mr. Smith became a smash hit, easily becoming the second largest blockbuster of that year. However, 1939 was also the year World War II had started, and coupled with the war’s association with the Great Depression, the hit film was bound to cause conflict and controversy among the viewing public, which included global audiences. With post-Depression America seeking realism and optimism and the events that would eventually lead to World War II, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington culminates

"[It's] not a war. It's a pageant. We need a theme, a song, some visuals," states Conrad Brean, the White House's Mr. Fix-it, referring to the plan designed to divert the public's attention from the incumbent's recent disastrous decision-making. The fabricated war and astonishing public response depicts the unfortunate credulity our society suffers from in Barry Levinson's Wag the Dog. Produced in 1997, the satire displays phenomenal insight into the media's effective use of rhetoric to influence the public opinion.

The power and prestige of this film comes not from its controversial and serious subject matter, but from the unbiased way in which the story is

The Hurt Locker can give almost anybody the nerves with its numerous suspenseful moments. But what lies inside all the tension filled scenes is a much deeper meaning. Kathryn Bigelow stresses an important message in this Oscar-winning epic. Although the film depicts the gruesome horrors of war, Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker is not an anti-war film. The Hurt Locker is a film about James’s addiction to war because it shows his desire tension risk filled scenes, his lack of resentment for the war, and his inability to integrate himself back into “normal society”

D. A. Pennebaker’s The War Room is a film about the figures behind the scenes of a political campaign. Given a subject that historically lends itself to drama and narrative tension, Pennebaker makes active choices in filming and editing to find the story within the story. The film becomes a sort of meta-art: a media narrative about the people responsible for controlling media narratives. Pennebaker approaches the film as an appreciation of fellow craftsmen, giving credit to James Carville and George Stephanopoulos’ tactical brilliance. Through the use of carefully thought-out editing, intentional camerawork, and intimate access, The War Room lays bare the hidden layers of communication present within the campaign.

In the article “Creating Reel Change,” published in Sojourners in November 2006, Donovan Jacobs points out that some filmmakers have been creating films in public which contains social issues in order to influence social behaviors. He mentions that in the past, people in the media usually avoid including political issues into their films; they create the films only for entertainment. Nowadays, viewers have a great chance of assessing social network and watching TV programs and movies easily. The filmmakers tend to promote the importance of social issues to motivate the viewer’s responsibilities and have the real actions. Especially, Jeff Skoll, a former of eBay president, invested $100 million for co-financing
