Beschreibungen
<p><b>Argues that popular films perform a religious function in our culture </b><br><br>The first edition of <i>Film as Religion</i> was one of the first texts to develop a framework for the analysis of the religious function of films for audiences. Like more formal religious institutions, films can provide us with ways to view the world and the values to confront it. Lyden argues that the cultural influence of films is analogous to that of religions, so that films can be understood as representing a “religious” worldview in their own right. <br><br>Thoroughly updating his examples, Lyden examines a range of film genres and individual films, from <i>The Godfather</i> to <i>The Hunger Games</i> to <i>Frozen</i>, to show how film can function religiously.</p>
