Hollywood And The Homefront

2/28/2016

3 Comments

 
What happens when Hollywood turns its attention from war to the warrior and focuses on the lasting effects of armed conflict on veterans and their families?

Find out by taking this course at the Edmonds Community College Creative Resource Institute. 

In this cours, examine the role of the media in shaping public perception of veterans, and how the depiction of veterans in movies has changed over time. We will view “The Best Years of Our Lives” and examine the issues presented in the film in their historical context, as well as in comparison to issues veterans face today. The final session will feature a panel discussion with veterans from different periods, presenting a multi-generational view of how veterans’ issues and public perceptions have changed over time. Chris Szarek served in the US Navy for 20 years as a Seabee, retiring in 2009. After retirement, Chris earned a BA in communications and an MBA from UW. He currently serves as the director of the Veterans Resource Center at Edmonds Community College. No class May 25th. 4 sessions.

Well, Hollywood is a dream for a lot of celebrities, especially Sally those who do not live in America. It's popular for entertainment purposes. But if it becomes the center of the war, I don't think people would still desire to go there for the fear that they might be victims of the war you are trying to say. I don't know if it already happened in the past, but I am pretty sure that something happened in Hollywood before it became a established place already. We don't know the history and we can only know it if we will read!
