Abstract Details

2007, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Political Science (Arts and Sciences).
This thesis explores the impact of Ronald Reagan’s presidency on Hollywood films of the 1980s. As America entered the 1980s, a shift was seen in the product being released by Hollywood. Film narratives became very different from those released in the decade before. This project analyzes the correlative connections between changes seen in both Hollywood films and presidential rhetoric during this period. Samples were drawn from both Hollywood films and presidential speeches of the era. Through the employment of content analysis, these samples were coded and analyzed to spot distinct similarities and differences between the two mediums.
