Book Reviews of Thinking In Pictures: The Making Of The Movie Matewan
Book Review: Movies as History
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach American History and Film, my goal being how to get students to critically evaluate American history as portrayed by Hollywood. I have used John Sayles'"Matewan" about the West Virginia coal field wars and learned much from his discussion of how he created the film. It is possible to learn about history from films, but it must be done with a critical eye, and Sayles helps explain how one does that--as a film maker and as a viewer.
