Study after study shows that it's increasingly difficult for working class people to achieve upward mobility in the US - so how does the American Dream continue to thrive? J. Emmett Winn shows us that the American Dream's continued glorification in contemporary Hollywood cinema should not be ignored. The book explicates three major themes surrounding the American Dream in contemporary Hollywood cinema and relates those findings to the United States' social and cultural changes in the last 25 years. Through his thoughtful analysis of films as diverse as Working Girl, Titanic, Pretty Woman, Flashdance, The Firm, Good Will Hunting, Saturday Night Fever, Wall Street and many others, Winn shows that contemporary Hollywood is very much in the business of keeping the Dream alive."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States 606 $aSocial classes in motion pictures 606 $aWorking class in motion pictures 606 $2Film theory & criticism 615 0$aMotion pictures 615 0$aSocial classes in motion pictures. 615 0$aWorking class in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/652624 700 $aWinn$b J.
