In this updated edition of Hollywood Worldviews Brian Godawa maintains that there are two extreme positions to avoid in viewing movies: the cultural anorexic, who avoids all movies; and the cultural glutton, who almost always watches movies with little or no discernment. For all who are concerned about American culture in the 21st century, this book offers a wonderful antidote to both extremes--become a discerning viewer, who understands both what kind of worldview is being presented and in what manner it is being presented. Ultimately, Godawa hopes to enable us to see just how movies can affect us, for good or for ill.
