Abstract

Razvoj kinematografske tehnologije i rast popularnosti filmske industrije doživjeli su puni zamah nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, a taj zamah nastavio se tijekom cijelog razdoblja Hladnoga rata. Počela se uviđati moć sugestije filma, odnosno koliko značajan utjecaj film može imati na način razmišljanja i percepciju onoga koji konzumira filmski sadržaj. Budući da se Hollywood prometnuo kao vodeći proizvođač filmskog sadržaja u svijetu i da je američka Vlada zajedno sa svojim obavještajnim agencijama prepoznala važnost filma kao medija, u njihovim očima bilo je nužno osigurati da filmovi odigraju svojevrsnu ulogu, a to je prikaz američkih vrijednosti i vrlina u kontrastu sa sovjetskim manama. U očima američkih vlastodržaca kroz cijelo je razdoblje Hladnoga rata postojala realna opasnost od ideologije koja je dolazila iz neprijateljskog bloka, pa čak i izravnog rata sa Sovjetskim Savezom. Budući da opcija izravnog ratovanja nije bila realna za obje strane, postojao je imperativ da se Hladni rat vodi na kinematografskom bojištu i da se Hollywood nametne kao svjetski lider, a važno je napomenuti kako se ovisno o trenutnoj geopolitičkoj situaciji u svijetu mijenjao i sentiment i prikaz Sovjetskog Saveza u Hollywoodskim filmovima.

Abstract (english)

The development of technology in cinematography and the rise of popularity of the movie industry have both gained tremendeous momentum after the Second World War which lasted during the whole period of the Cold War. Movies were started to be perceived as powerful tools for suggestion and their potential for influencing opinions and the perceptions of those consuming movie content was beginning to be realized. Since Hollywood at the time became the lead producer of movies in the world and that the American Government, along with its intelligence agencies, recognized the importance of movies as a medium, thought necessary that movies play a certain role, which is depicting American values and virtues in contrast with Soviet flaws and shortcomings. In the eyes of the American Government, there was always a tangible danger of the ideology coming from the opposing bloc and even a small chance of a direct assault from the Soviet Union. However, both sides knew that direct warfare was not an option and so they opted to have their battles on the cinematography battlefield in which the themes that were covered were reflective of the current geopolitical situation in the world.
