Abstract:
|
This thesis examines Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty for Me (1971), and argues that the film is a Silent Generation warning against the dangers of the counterculture invasion of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Through a critical lens of generational theory, and the contextualization of Eastwood’s directorial debut within the New Hollywood cinema, this thesis also explores the film’s significance as a simultaneous perpetuation and deconstruction of the notion of “California,” as reflected in American popular culture.
