Political Undertones in Blockbuster Films
Description
5 hours ago
"Superman" continues to dominate the box office, but beneath the capes and superpowers, some viewers are pointing to political parallels in the storyline. From references to global conflicts like Israel-Palestine and Russia Ukraine to broader commentary on power and justice, blockbuster films have long been a lens for real-world issues. Hudson Moura, politics and film professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, joins Miranda Anthistle to discuss how cinema shapes public discourse.
