War has had a powerful impact on the film industry. But it is not only wars that affect films; films influence war-time behavior and incisively shape the way we think about the battles that have been waged. In The War Film , Robert Eberwein brings together essays by scholars using a variety of critical approaches to explore this enduringly popular film genre. Contributors examine the narrative and aesthetic elements of war films from four perspectives: consideration of generic conventions in works such as All Quiet on the Western Front , Bataan , and The Thin Red Line ; treatment of race in various war films, including Glory , Home of the Brave , Platoon , and Hamburger Hill ; aspects of gender, masculinity and feminism in The Red Badge of Courage , Rambo , Dogfight , and Courage under Fire ; and analysis of the impact of contemporary history on the production and reception of films such as The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter , Saving Private Ryan , and We Were Soldiers . Drawing attention to the dynamic interrelationships among politics, nationalism, history, gender, and film, this comprehensive anthology is bound to become a classroom favorite.
