I am doing a project on how movies served as an opiate for the masses in the 1930's, you know like the Roman Bread and Circuses. They produced happy and rich films with glamourous people to take the minds of the masses off their current hardships. Also about the forties with film mainly serving the purpose of pulling together the support of the people behind the Allied powers with pro democracy and negative fascist ideas and stories in the movies. I would greatly appreciate any movies that exemplify this or any books that examine this issue. Thank you.
