In this book, John White explores how films such as Open Range, True Grit and Jane Got a Gun reinforce a conservative myth of America exceptionalism; endorsing the use of extreme force in dealing with enemies and highlighting the importance of defending the homeland. Placing their characters within a dark world of confusion and horror, these films reflect the United States' post-9/11 uncertainties, and the conflict between civilised values and the brutality employed to defend them.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
