Hollywoodism: Jews, Movies and the American Dream (1998)
They fled a nightmare to build a dream
Director: Stuart Samuels
Language: en
This film discusses the effect on how major American films in Hollywood were influenced by the Eastern European Jewish culture that most of the major movie moguls who controlled the studios shared. Through clips of various films, the filmmakers illustrate the dominant themes like that of the outsider, the outspoken American patriotism, and rooting for the underdog in society.
