Green Screen: Environmentalism and Hollywood Cinema

David Ingram

This text combines film studies with environmental history and politics, aiming to establish a cultural criticism informed by green thought. David Ingram argues that Hollywood cinema has largely perpetuated romantic attitudes to nature and has played an important ideological role in the greenwashing of ecological discourses. The book accounts for the rise of environmental concerns in Hollywood cinema, and explores the ways in which attitudes to nature and the environment are constructed in a number of movies. It is divided into three sections which cover: Wilderness in Hollywood Cinema ; Wild Animals in Hollywood Cinema ; and Development and the Politics of Land Use . Movies discussed include The China Syndrome , Pocahontas , Free Willy , Chinatown , Gorillas in the Mist and Medicine Man .
