[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The 1992 movie version of James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans" was directed by Michael Mann and starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Steven Waddington, Russell Means and Eric Schweig. As an epic about human conflict, the movie addresses all the necessary elements of social, political and spiritual concern required for such a production; however, the grandiose spectacle of Hollywood film making abilities cannot mask the stereotypical Native American imagery blatantly portrayed in this movie.

Michael Medved's "Hollywood Vs. America"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. With astute insight and compelling perceptiveness, Michael Medved brings out the hidden – and not so hidden – backlash that popular culture in general and Hollywood in particular have wreaked upon contemporary society. His treatment of this often-controversial subject matter delves deeply into the idiosyncratic components that Hollywood and the entire essence of popular culture have unduly influenced generation after generation, serving to catapult the notion of personal and social responsibility entirely off the map of humane existence. Clearly, the detrimental impact that Hollywood and popular culture have had upon the masses is more than superficial according to Medved; rather, this power has rendered society a reflection of its existence.
