From the onset of the film medium, directors have found war an endlessly compelling and fruitful subject for their art. In War and Film, Chapman explores their fascination as well as audiences’ enduring need to examine and experience the vicissitudes of war.Chapman examines the issues of truthfulness and realism that arise in depictions of war, whether in the supposed truth telling of war documentaries or Hollywood battle scenes that are “more realistic than the real thing.” The book considers films from the U. S., Britain, and Europe, and the national responses to cinematic depictions of particular conflicts. In case studies of such legendary works as Das Boot, Apocalypse Now, and All Quiet on the Western Front, the book parses their dominant narrative themes, ranging from war as a pointless tragedy to combat as an exciting and heroic adventure. But few films, Chapman contends, probe into the deeper ramifications of war—the psychological scars left on the soldier and civilians.A study of remarkable breadth and scope, War and Film exposes the power of cinema in shaping our perceptions of violent conflict. (Provided by publisher) "War and Film discusses the representation of war as spectacle, considering the claims of realism and authenticity from front-line combat cinematography to the hyper-realism of contemporary films that are claimed to be 'more realistic than the real thing'. Chapman considers both the depiction of war as tragedy and the role of film in the commemoration of war. He explains how film has explored the legacy of conflict and how it has attempted to come to terms with warfare's brutal psychological scars. But he also argues that an alternative tradition can be identified in films that positively valorize war, presenting it not as a pointless tragedy but as the opportunity for heroic adventure and a testing ground for masculinity and nationalism." "A study of remarkable breadth and scope, War and Film demonstrates how war has shaped the history of cinema and how cinema has shaped our attitudes towards war."--Jacket.
