This Is a Picture and Not the World: Movies and a Post-9/11 AmericaState University of New York Press, 1 ¡.¾. 2012 - 291 ˹éÒ In This Is a Picture and Not the World, Joseph Natoli employs the lingua franca of film itself—screenplay dialogue—as well as the more recent form of the political blog to present a hyperreal account of popular film as both a creator and a reflector of our post-9/11 mass psyche. Drawing on both classic and contemporary film examples, the book also offers a quasihistory of film genres, including science fiction, the western, film noir, and screwball comedy, emphasizing how these genres have been shaken up, recontextualized, recombined, turned self-reflexive, and parodied over the past couple of decades. Taken together, these satirical parodies of screenplays and blogs reveal and perform how our very gaze has shifted from modern to postmodern, from a direct view of the world to a filtered one. |

A people whose own propagandists proclaim it to be mentally and morally deficient, cannot expect to be looked up to. If films were really true to life, the whole of Europe and America would deserve to be handed over as mandated territories to the Basutos, the Papuans and the Andaman pygmies. Fortunately, they are...

Two or three times he had reconstructed an entire day. He told me: / have more memories in myself alone than all men have had since the world was a world.
˹éÒ 137 - But assuming the press reports are right, it's a terrible thing to say, and it unfortunate. And that's why — there was an earlier question about has the President said anything to people in his own party — they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do. This is not a time for remarks like that; there never is.
˹éÒ 77 - Terrorism by definition strikes at the innocent in order to draw attention to the sins of the invulnerable. The innocent of the twenty-first century are going to harvest unexpected blowback disasters from the imperialist escapades of recent decades. Although most Americans may be largely ignorant of what was, and still is, being done in their names, all are likely to pay a steep price — individually and collectively — for their nation's continued efforts to dominate the global scene.
