Why does the entertainment industry attack religion, glorify brutality, undermine the family, and deride patriotism?

Journeys of desire : European actors in Hollywood / a critical companion / Alastair Phillips and Ginette Vincendeau (eds) London: British Film Institute, 2006.
Call No: 802.27(4) JOUCorpAuthor: BFISource: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: British Film InstitutePubDate: 2006PhysDes: 512 p. ; 25 cmSubject: ACTORS ; ACTORS. FRANCE ; GLOBALISATION ; HISTORY OF CINEMA. SILENT PERIOD ; EXTRAS ; STUDIOS, FILM. USA ; CHEVALIER, MAURICE ; PARAMOUNT STUDIOS ; JEWS AND THE CINEMA. USA ; NAZIS IN FILMS ; GABIN, JEAN ; ACTORS. UK ; TYPE CHARACTERS IN FILMS Summary: Journeys of Desire offers for the first time a comprehensive critical guide to European Actors in American film, bringing together 15 overview chapters and a-z entries on over 900 individuals in one accessible and scholarly volume. Since the early days of the US film industry, European actors have consistently been a major force in Hollywood. Screen idols such as Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Charles Boyer, Audrey Hepburn, Maurice Chevalier, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Antonio Banderas, as well as scores of more modest players, have profoundly shaped ‘American’ cinema. They have also contributed to the propagation of European types and stereotypes such as the ‘Russian’ and Nordic queens played by Garbo and Dietrich, the French Roues popularized by Chevalier, the fiery Latinos depicted by Banderas and the British arch-villain played by Steven Berkoff, Anthony Hopkins and Tim Roth. Films such as Casablanca (1942), Gigi (1958), Green Card (1990) and Vanilla Sky (2001), among many others, would not be the same without them. Contributions from a team of 70 international experts provide ground-breaking case studies of prominent individuals and phenomena associated with the émigrés, such as the retired Russian officers who played crowds in silent films, the stereotyping of European actresses in ‘bad women’ roles, and the ultimate irony of Jewish actors playing Nazis. Individual entries chart the careers and performances of the European actors – from Victoria Abril to Mai Zetterling – who appeared in American movies. [Taken from back cover].ISBN: 1844571246

Leni Riefenstahl : the fallen film goddess / by Glenn B. Infield New York: Crowell, 1976.
Call No: 81RIE INFAuthor: Infield, Glenn B. (Glenn Berton) Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: CrowellPubDate: 1976PhysDes: 278 p., [13] leaves of plates : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: FASCISM AND THE CINEMA ; GERMANY ; JEWS AND THE CINEMA ; WOMEN FILMMAKERS ; WOMEN IN FILMS. GERMANY ; WORLD WAR II AND THE CINEMA ; RIEFENSTAHL, LENI ; OLYMPIA (G, Leni Riefenstahl, 1938) ; TRIUMPH OF THE WILL (G, Leni Riefenstahl, 1935) Summary: "Notoriety clings to [Leni] Riefenstahl's name. She is reputed to have danced nude for the Fuhrer. She is linked to Goebbels, Striecher, Borman, and other evil luminaries of the Nazi party. After the war, she was investigated by the Nuremburg Commission, and found innocent; she had never been a Party member. Yet Leni's cinema helped to create the myth of Nazi supremacy; her sense of drama and destiny, her imagery, mesmerized Germany during Hitler's climb to power. Was she responsible? Was she conscious of the political meaning of her work? Or was she a naive opportunist, an incomparable technician, exploiting the chance of a lifetime? Was she Hitler's mistress, as has been alleged? Or was she just a free spirit, the pagan sensualist of her own films? These are only some of the intriguing questions Glenn B. Infield explores in Leni Riefenstahl: The Fallen Film Goddess." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; Bibliography: p. 262-267ISBN: 0690011679LON: 76007084; 760131
