War and Film
Film brings to us \u2014 with unparalleled rawness \u2014 what feels like the intimate experience of war. But how true is that visceral feeling? And how do the tension and excitement of war on screen ultimately affect our sympathy toward each other and our humanity? David Thomson, one of the greatest film historians of our time, argues that movies \u2014 even those with antiwar intentions \u2014 perpetuate war.\nResources:\nDavid Thomson, The Fatal Alliance: A Century of War on Film Harper, 2023 \nThe post War and Film appeared first on KPFA.
