What is Popular Cinema of the Third Reich about?

<p>too Often Dismissed As Escapist Entertainment Or Vilified As Mass Manipulation, Popular Cinema In The Third Reich Was In Fact Sustained By Well-established Generic Conventions, Cultural Traditions, Aesthetic Sensibilities, Social Practices, And A Highly Developed Star System--not Unlike Its Hollywood Counterpart In The 1930s. This Pathfinding Study Contributes To The Ongoing Reassessment Of Third Reich Cinema By Examining It As A Social, Cultural, Economic, And Political Practice That Often Conflicted With, Contradicted, And Compromised The Intentions Of The Propaganda Ministry. Nevertheless, By Providing The Illusion Of A Public Sphere Presumably Free Of Politics, Popular Cinema Helped To Sustain The Nazi Regime, Especially During The War Years.<br> Rather Than Examining Third Reich Cinema Through Overdetermined Categories Such As Propaganda, Ideology, Or Fascist Aesthetics, Sabine Hake Concentrates On The Constituent Elements Shared By Most Popular Cinemas&#58; Famous Stars, Directors, And Studios; Movie Audiences And Exhibition Practices; Popular Genres And New Trends In Set Design; The Reception Of Foreign Films; The Role Of Film Criticism; And The Representation Of Women.
