How is our worldview formed today? What is the impact of Hollywood films on our criteria for interpreting reality? What manipulation techniques are applied to us while we sit in our armchairs, unknowingly enjoying a movie? The author addresses these questions in the first book ever written on Hollywoodism, the invisible ideology of the West. It is an invisible, creeping, undeclared ideology, whose sacred texts are the thousands upon thousands of films and TV series that convey Western ways of thinking, pouring them daily into millions of minds. A compelling analysis by Roberto Quaglia, inspired by an illuminating journey to Iran, a country of ancient culture where the Hollywoodist ideology is still a foreign body. The work includes the analysis of a wide selection of Hollywood films, illustrating the manipulation techniques applied in them. The author lists 11 specific main manipulation strategies and for each film explains in detail how they were used. After reading this book, you will never look at a Hollywood film the same way again. Elegant edition on glossy color paper.
