Part of me wonders if maybe the movie was so successful because the American public was so used to propaganda films and newsreels. For once, they were able to watch an actual film and it was about something everyone could relate to. People could identify with it and not have to worry about being heavily influenced in a "Pro-America" propaganda-esque way. --Kelly Wuyscik | Part of me wonders if maybe the movie was so successful because the American public was so used to propaganda films and newsreels.

| + | Being that this movie was made in 1946 and was about 1946, the ending intrigued me. It pretty much assumed that whatever complexities the soldiers and their families were experiencing would somehow be solved (in the film's case, love was the answer). This was very different than what we saw in ''Matewan'' because that film ended without any closure for the labor workers. In terms of the time they were made, these two films are not so different in that sense either. ''Matewan'' was made in the 80's when labor unions consumed the media's attention, as it did in the 1920's. So it was like both these films were created in response to current events and attempted to give a solution (if there was one) to the problems at hand. - David F. | ||
