Zusammenfassung: | In recent years, the 1950s have made frequent appearances in mainstream Hollywood film. This thesis examines how this post-war decade is represented and why it has resonance in North American fin-de-millennium popular and political culture. Remakes of 1950s texts, narratives set in the '50s, and films that visually and ideologically allude to the '50s are considered. While the majority of cinematic mobilisations of this past decade are informed by nostalgia, some films employ constructs of the decade metaphorically or attempt to challenge the perception of this period as uniformly innocent, prosperous and stable. Often, the '50s that emerge in film are based on television and filmic stereotypes, suggesting that our memory of this particular moment of the past is in part based on accessible recorded entertainment. Whether or not 1990s films explicitly reference the '50s as a source or inspiration, this complex era has a widespread presence in current visual culture. |
