Hollywood movies production after 9/11


According to this article "American Cinema and the War on Terror in Stanford Daily, the author argues that since the aftermath of 9/11 the message of movies production within Hollywood had changed. The author noted that  "Instead of dutifully assembling a line of patriotic propaganda-fests replete with good old-fashioned foreigner-bashing, lamented Douthat, Hollywood had consistently churned out 70s-style anti-government, anti-corporate conspiracy flicks that blamed secretive cabals within America for the rise of terrorism" (M. Unterriner)

The author briefly summarize some Hollywood top movies production after 9/11 to show how the message within these movies connect with the U.S influence within the Middle East. 

Some of the movies Unterriner presumes to have a direct relationship with America's fight against terrorism are: The Dark Knight, Act of Valor, Taken 1 & 2, Gangster Squad, Zero Dark Thirty, Argo, The kingdom and etc.
