Question: is Elsaesser suggesting that the American Dream is merely an illusion and exploited through film to give people a false sense of hope and security and catharsis?
"Elsaesser recently said that Hollywood's most effective melodramas would seem to function either subversively or through escapism--categories that are always relative to gthe given social and historical context."
The screenshot of my quote keeps on getting taken down, but I will have it in class.
