Movies: A Psychological Study

Martha Wolfenstein

0/5 ( ratings)

Movies: A Psychological Study is a seminal work in art criticism, the science of communication, and the analysis of symbolic content. It probes deeply into the basic character of English, French and American societies as that character is reflected through film. Its method of analysis is profoundly psychoanalytic, a modality that, as it was applied to art at the time, was in its formative stages of development.

Wolfenstein and Leites take a large sample of movies from each country during the 1950s-70s era and examine them in great details, uncovering the socio-psychological themes that mirror each culture's best and worse images of itself. Arguably, what is ultimately uncovered is the "contextual socio-psychological substrate" or the "convert culture" that underlies the character extant in each of the three societies.
