World War
| < |

Wprld War II clearly inspired some of the biggest productions in the checkered history of Hollywood. The enduring classics that were back-to-back for Oscar winners 1942 and 1943 did much to exploit the patriotic spirit of the American people as it entertained. The same could be said of many of the films released until mid-1945. By contrast, the movies made about the war during the following decades brought more realism to the perception of conflict and its consequences.
During the War
In Britain, struggling for survival for more than two years before Pearl Harbor, film producers establishment moved cautiously in an environment of isolation. Alfred Hitchcock's "Foreign Correspondent" (1940) explored the intelligence and taste of the war without identify explicitly the forces of evil. Independent production of Charlie Chaplin, bolder "The Great Dictator", the same year was a travesty Hitler obvious veiled aliases.
Soon after 1941entry U.S. war in December, Hollywood was willing to "Flying Tigers" Americans on China's air combat against the Japanese before Pearl Harbor, Wake Island, "about a heroic but doomed defense of another Pacific outpost. The top film of 1942, however, the chronicle of the meeting of the British against the lightning in the multiple winner Oscar "Mrs. Miniver". By this time, the isolation was discredited and our link with England was a cornerstone of the war strategy.
The following year, Americans flocked to "Casablanca," which unsubtlely villified and glorified Nazi resistance from European conquered backdrop of the now immortal love triangle of Rick, Ilsa and Victor. The film was also a multiple Oscar winner, and assured stardom of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It rose further in a cult classic and later a favorite of all time.
There was much to celebrate on the field battle through most of 1942 as the Axis powers continued to advance, and then gave up only at great cost. Films in 1943, 1944 and 1945 followed emphasizing the cruelty and cunning of the Germans and Japanese, while American and allied glorifying heroism and sacrifice. It was only towards the end of that real victories could be documented.
After the War
By the end of the 1940s, Hollywood producers felt comfortable enough to explore some of the complexities and the ugly parts of the war. "Command Decision" (1949) and "Twelve O'Clock High" (1950) found manifest both more and less obvious human costs of the strategic bombing campaigns against Germany and the imperfections of decision making. "Home of the Brave "(1949) revealed racism in the prosecution of the war.
Another step was to show a famous German general, Erwin Rommel, so brave and sympathetic in "The Desert Fox (1951). In 1970, the attack on Pearl Harbor is being reviewed by both parties in "Tora, Tora, Tora" with the Japanese in search not only human but much smarter than us.
Realism reached a new plateau for 1993 is awarded by the Academy's List Schindler, "which tells the true story of the rescue of more than 1,000 Jews from the Nazi war machine by a German industrial blatantly unsterling character. The same producer, Steven Spielberg, took in two by the discovery of other dilemmas D-Day in all its blood and question the morality of risking many lives to preserve one of "Saving Private Ryan "(1998).
It's Not Over
It takes the magic of search engines and library catalogs to see the dimensions of making films about the Second World War. There are ups and downs, but many rewards in store for moviegoers.
