In \u003cem\u003eAtomic Bomb Cinema\u003c\/em\u003e, Jerome F. Shapiro unearths the unspoken legacy of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and its complex aftermath in American and Japanese cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Shapiro, a \"Bomb film\" is never simply an exercise in ideology or paranoia. He examines hundreds of films like \u003cem\u003eGodzilla, Dr. Strangelove\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Terminator\u003c\/em\u003e as a body of work held together by ancient narrative and symbolic traditions that extol survival under devastating conditions. Drawing extensively on both English-language and Japanese-language sources, Shapiro argues that such films not only grapple with our nuclear anxieties but also offer signs of hope that humanity is capable of repairing a damaged and divided world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.atomicbombcinema.com\"\u003ewww.atomicbombcinema.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605062697196,"sku":"9780415936590","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415936590-atomic-bomb-cinema.jpg?v=1778122271"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jerome-f-shapiro.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
