CHAPTER 9Section 9.1 Film: Beyond Entertainment
Chapter Objectives
After reading this chapter, students should:
• Be able to discuss how film can impact
society and how society may impact film
• Understand the influence of regulation and
censorship in Hollywood
• Be familiar with the Hollywood Production
Code of 1930 and its replacement by the
MPAA ratings system
• Understand some of the ways that films are
edited for television broadcast
• Be familiar with the Hollywood blacklist
and the extent of its impact
• Understand the impact of social media,
such as Facebook and Twitter, on film
today
9.1 Film: Beyond Entertainment
Since their inception, movies have provided inexpensive mass entertainment; cinema is an incredibly popular medium. As we have already seen, audiences spent more than $10 billion on movie tickets in 2009. People definitely enjoy going to the movies;
that much is obvious. It is clear that movies have had a profound impact on society. And
not only are audiences influenced by what they see at the movies; audiences influence
what is shown in theaters as well.
Whether it is in appearance, fashion, or behavior, films romanticize a certain lifestyle
that is eagerly imitated by audiences. Fashion magazines promise that we can “Get
Angelina’s Look” if we follow the tips inside. Celebrity gossip publications keep readers
up-to-date on the comings and goings of seemingly everyone who has appeared in a
movie. The Internet and social media are practically choked with chatter about film—
box-office results, reviews, gossip, and more. Beyond such obviously shallower aspects,
film can influence how we live, our morality, and our behavior. What is open to discus-
sion, however, is the direction of the influence—do films influence culture or do they
reflect it? Or is it both?
Howard Beale’s mad rant
in Network was given
new currency in the 2010
electoral campaign when
a gubernatorial candidate
uttered part of a line from
the film: “I’m as mad as hell
and I’m not going to take
this anymore.”

CHAPTER 9Section 9.1 Film: Beyond Entertainment
Yes, we go to the movies to be entertained; as Steven J. Ross says in Movies and American
Society, we go “to laugh, cry, boo, cheer, be scared, thrilled, or simply to be amused for a few
hours. But movies are something more than just an evening’s entertainment. They are also
historical documents that help us see—and perhaps more fully understand—the world in
which they were made” (Ross, 2002). Movies, in other words, have something to say, often
beyond their literal meaning. Even b.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. Making sense of 9/11
“In contemporary society, cinema has become a primary way
in which people gain knowledge about world events. Films
often go beyond news reports, showing in-depth, behind-the-scenes
footage.
In a much more profound way than other media, Cinema can
influence peoples’ emotions and feeling about war and what
political leaders should do about it”
Since 9/11, filmmakers have used their medium to
represent, challenge and try to make sense of the 9/11
attacks and subsequent aftermath
As a consequence, we can look these films and explore
how our society responded to the attacks and fallout
9. Making sense of 9/11
In his book, Markert states:
“Values within the wider society are reflected on
screen. This view asserts that society gives rise
to certain cultural forms and themes. After all,
people go to the movies because they can relate
to the storyline”
He goes on to say:
“Movies portray attitudes that pervade the social world
at the time the film is made. Movies, then, serve as a
window on the world that allows the viewer to gain
insight in to social beliefs”
These beliefs can also be ‘READ’ by future audiences as a sign of
what people where thinking at the time of the films production.
10. Making sense of 9/11
“Movies portray attitudes that pervade the social world at the time
the film is made”
What do you think this statement
means?
Like all media, Films are made by people who
are positioned within a particular culture and
society.
As we are ‘positioned’ within a society we
grow up being taught certain ideologies,
beliefs and ways of viewing the world
As a result, filmmakers world views inevitably
impact on how they represent the world
through their films
This is known as:
‘Cultural Experience’
11. Cultural Experience
Cultural Experience:
This is how our culture – our upbringing,
experiences and beliefs – affect our response
to a film.
Cultural Experience also relates to our
experiences within our culture and how these
experiences shape our world view (how we
see the world).
As filmmakers attempt to represent a certain
view of the world, their cultural experience
will influence what they put in their films
12. Cultural Experience
Note down a few words that identify and label the people in the images
below:
15. Cultural Experiences and
Hollywood
Case Study 1 – War of the Worlds (2005)
Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the novel
of the same name by H.G. Welles, ‘War of the Worlds’
depicts an alien invasion, beginning in New York City.
Read the article you have been given and
annotate what you think are the key points
What does the article say the film is really about?
War of the Worlds depicts a world in the immediate aftermath of an
‘outsider’ attack. The film shows a world in chaos were all social
norms and rules are subverted.
Characters act rashly and react to the events before they have
chance to make sense of them!
16. Cultural Experiences and
Hollywood
Case Study 1 – War of the Worlds (2005)
In the immediate aftermath of 9/11 the USA:
• Went to war with Afghanistan without complete
evidence of their involvement (Actions begin in
October ‘01)
• Passed the ‘Patriots Act’
• Immigration laws were made a lot more stringent
• Went to War with Iraq
• The war in Iraq was based on ‘Bad Intelligence’
that they had ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’
• This intelligence turned out to be FALSE
• Therefore it can be argued that the US / UK
reacted too quickly, based on an emotional
response, rather than a logical one
18. Cultural Experiences and
Hollywood
Case Study 2 – Hurt Locker (2009)
Katherine Bigelow’s ‘The Hurt Locker’ depicts a team of
bomb disposal experts as they attempt to rid 2004
Baghdad of IED (Improvised Explosive Devices)
The film is set during the heart of the Iraq war and
focuses on the conflict that takes place between the
soldiers.
The film also focuses upon difficulties soldiers face when
being reintegrated back in to US society, and their
experiences of Post Traumatic Stress (PTS).
Read the article you have been given and annotate what
you think are the key points
20. Cultural Experiences and
Hollywood
Case Study 3 – Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
Katherine Bigelow’s ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ is a fictionalised
version of the assault by US Marines that killed Osama
Bin Laden
The US Government are seen torturing prisoners of war
for information – a crime in war.
The film implies that the US government illegally tortured
prisoners of war to gain information
Information that lead them to the hiding place of Osama
Bin Laden.
Read the article you have been given and annotate what
you think are the key points
22. Cultural Experiences and
Hollywood
Case Study 3 – Zero Dark Thirty (2012)
Films like Zero Dark Thirty reflect the American publics
desire for answers about their countries role in the War
on Terror
The film re-opened the debate in the USA about the use
of torture in war
Ultimately, Zero Dark Thirty was made at a time when
the war had been raging for over ten years, Bin Laden
just been killed, and the American Government was being
accused of torture
The film reflected peoples desires for answers and debate
about these topics
