HIS 274 - Screening the Past


3 Credits

This course will examine the possibilities and limitations of movies in helping us to understand American history. We will trace the ways in which Hollywood has presented historical events from the Revolutionary War in “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson, to 9/11, as depicted in Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center.” Filmed biographies of famous people e.g “Malcolm X,” will also be discussed.
