Peter Biskind concentrates on the films everybody saw but nobody really looked at, classics such as Giant, Rebel Without a Cause, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and shows us how movies that appear politically innocent in fact bear an ideological burden. As we see organization men and rugged individualists, housewives, and career women, cops and docs, teen angels and teenage werewolves fight it out across the screen, from suburbia to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, we understand that we have been watching one long dispute about how to be a man, a woman, an American the conflicts of the time in action. 888136 1983 Seeing Is Believing: How Hollywood Taught Us to Stop Worrying and Love the Fifties total:32|5:4|4:10|3:14|2:4|1:0| 32 110 49 4 4 0 false false Wed Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 08:28:08 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 08:21:54 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Aug 23 02:16:44 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 02:17:51 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Wed Oct 31 03:41:12 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 31 03:41:25 -0700 2007 http://resolutereader.blogspot.com/2005/...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Oct 30 13:38:21 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 13:38:53 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Nov 01 09:58:42 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 09:58:42 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 22 07:08:29 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 07:08:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 31 01:25:33 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 01:25:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 22 10:56:11 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 11:48:55 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 10:56:11 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Jul 11 08:50:28 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 08:50:35 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 04 06:37:30 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 06:37:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 16 13:18:15 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 13:18:15 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Apr 07 12:37:35 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 12:37:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Mar 30 13:13:27 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 13:13:27 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Mar 25 06:05:58 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 06:05:58 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jan 23 10:11:54 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 10:11:54 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 13 10:59:08 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 10:59:08 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jan 10 16:59:21 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 16:59:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 01 18:07:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 18:07:00 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 28 16:10:03 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 16:10:03 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 10 14:58:25 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 14:58:31 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=839448
