Why read it?
1 author picked America on Film as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend this book because it is one of the few works that systematically analyzes different facets of individual identity by illustrating how movie makers consciously and strategically prioritize the images they showcase onscreen.
Nothing we see is by coincidence nor accident and the authors remind me of the audience’s responsibility in remaining as active participants, constantly questioning rather than blindly accepting the images we see onscreen.
From Frederick's list on the impact of movies outside the theater.
