Abstract:
Cinema has become one of the major tools of expressing thoughts and beliefs. Through work, we have demonstrated thoroughly the emergence of Hollywoodian cinema as an important medium of propaganda in modern world. Thus, our work highlighted the use of the Hero myth in movies in order to convey American thought system and ideology. Using the movie American Sniper, we have shown how the ideas of the American solder’s heroic deeds are conveyed to a larger public, helping to cement the myth of the heroic soldier.
