Review of Dr. Evans book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Celluloid Mushroom Clouds: Hollywood And Atomic Bomb (Critical Studies in Communication and in the Cultural Industries) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful summary and deep analysis of a highly important subject to American society, the use of media in portraying icons of poplular culture derived from the most frightening scientific accomlishements of the decade. Professor Evans does an amazing job of simplifying and displaying for the reader the complexity of modern life, while emphasizing the impressive nature of modern life. This is a wonderful book, an intensely interesting subject and an excellent analysis. I would recommend it to any reader.

This review is from: Celluloid Mushroom Clouds: Hollywood and the Atomic Bomb (Critical Studies in Communication and in the Cultural Industries) (Hardcover)
I really liked this book, it made me think differently about movies and what they portray. This study points out how decisions about what movies contain are influenced by the profit motives of the industry. It also provides a new look at science fiction movies of the 1950s and 1960s, how atomic culture contributed to the development of that genre.
