This course offers an examination of American society and its culture as reflected through the films of particular time periods in the 20th and early 21st centuries. These areas will be studied through the idea that “film, as in all art, is a reflection of - and an influence on - the society of its time.” Through the use of popular American films, students will be introduced to competing perspectives on American history, culture and society.
