Résumé
In 2003, when Paul Haggis started thinking about the script of In The Valley of Elah, President Bush had an eighty percent approval rating and the war in Iraq was supported by most of the country. Four years later, it is no longer the case and the war has become the new topic in hollywood.
hollywood’s coverage of the war in Iraq is a clear departure from earlier war films. From World war II to the Gulf war, patriotism and caution prevailed; generally speaking, the war was not criticized before the fighting had stopped. The few war films released during wartime, such as The Battle of Britain (1943) or The Green Berets (1968), rather depicted military heroes. Moreover, many hollywood stars were actively involved in supporting the troops, especially during the Second World war after Pearl Harbor. Even the increasingly skeptical public opinion during the Vietnam war did not reverse this trend. when Coppola tried to film Apocalypse Now in 1972, he met with strong opposition from hollywood producers and actors. The Vietnam-related movies we remember, such as Coppola’s film, Stone’s Platoon and Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket were all released between the end of the seventies and the mid-eighties.

Sommaire
- From World War II to the Gulf War, patriotism and caution prevailed in Hollywood movies about war
- Nothing really changed in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack
- Many films that are now released or soon to be released deal with the war and veterans' issues
- One can wonder whether anything has really changed under the Bush Junior administration, as Hollywood has always been a way for intellectuals and liberals to express their opinion, leading to the idea of public service
