| Description: |
Although conservative opinion suggests Hollywood is anti-religion, this work finds evidence to the contrary. Offering an exercise in urban anthropology, it argues that the religious imagination is irrepressible and that this is reflected in America's best-known example of popular culture: movies. |
| Synopsis: |
The religious imagination is alive and well in the movies. Contrary to those who criticize Hollywood, popular movies very often have metaphorically represented God on the screen. From Clint Eastwood as an avenging angel in Pale Rider and Nicolas Cage as a lovesick angel in City of Angels to Jessica Lange as an angel of death in All That Jazz, and from George Burns as God in Oh, God! to Audrey Hepburn in Always to pure white light in Fearless and Flatliners, God is very much present in the movies. |
