1940's

directed by Nick Cassavetes and released on June 5th 2004, is a captivating love story, which takes place in the 1940’s. Through filmatic elements such as Cassavetes choices of cinematography, editing, narrative, mise en scene, sound and music, he creates an extremely believable story of two teenagers in the 1940’s who fell in love over the time span of one summer. In order to create a 1940’s vibe, Cassavetes wisely uses a specific choice of costumes, makeup and scenery to portray exactly the time period

Entertainment of the 1940’s The 1940’s was not just a time of grief because of World War II. Many people found new pleasures and amusement to see the positive that can come from a tragic event, such as the foreign affairs taking place at the time.

World War II brought about numerous hardships, but through these hardships many people found happiness through

strange or taboo. Though heteronormativity is still persistent in our society today, this idea was much more present in the 1940’s through the 1960’s as anti-queer and anti-trans laws were put into place. These laws and ideas left queer people feeling isolated and targeted.
