Argues that popular films perform a religious function in our culture The first edition of Film as Religion was one of the first texts to develop a framework for the analysis of the religious function of films for audiences. Like more formal religious institutions, films can provide us with ways to view the world and the values to confront it. Lyden argues that the cultural influence of films is analogous to that of religions, so that films can be understood as representing a “religious” worldview in their own right. Thoroughly updating his examples, Lyden examines a range of film genres and individual films, from The Godfather to The Hunger Games to Frozen, to show how film can function religiously.Film as Religion, Second Edition: Myths, Morals, and Rituals is written by John C. Lyden and published by NYU Press. ISBNs for Film as Religion, Second Edition are 9781479838967, 1479838969 and the print ISBNs are 9781479811991, 1479811998.
