| dc.description.abstract | This thesis discusses the presentation of archetypal characters and the depiction of death in both the scripts and films for Apocalypse Now, Black Hawk Down and Stop-Loss. The project's main focus is on how ideals are presented differently at different time periods and because of shifting public opinions of a conflict. It emphasizes the difference between the post-Vietnam War film and the post-9/11 War film in their presentation of American ideals through their main character and depiction of death. This thesis also suggests a curriculum using the War film genre in a composition classroom to encourage student's analysis of script and film texts and aid in the production of multimodal texts. | |
