An in-depth study of the philosophy of film of Stanley Cavell, and of his philosophical influences
  • Includes extensive quotes from Cavell’s writings
  • Analyses the influence of Existentialism on Cavell
  • Discusses how Emerson and Thoreau provide a distinctively American philosophical foundation for great Hollywood films

One of America’s most important contemporary thinkers, Stanley Cavell’s remarkable film philosophy proposed that the greatest Hollywood films reflect the struggle to become who we really are – a struggle that is foregrounded in the characteristically American theory of Emersonian perfectionism.


Focusing on his account of what makes Hollywood movies so magical, Dan Shaw draws on Cavell’s theories to interpret a range of classic and contemporary dramas, including Mr Smith Goes to Washington (1939), Boys Don’t Cry (1999) and The Hurt Locker (2008). Pairing of these analyses with discussions of Cavell’s precursors, including Emerson, Nietzsche and Mill, the book explores a distinctively American philosophical foundation for the study of Hollywood film.
