{"product_id":"celluloid-ivy","title":"Celluloid Ivy","description":"\u003cp\u003eBecause of their tremendous mass audience, Hollywood feature films help mold, shape, and direct popular beliefs and attitudes. They also serve as frozen pieces of time that preserve the concerns of the past. \u003ci\u003eCELLULIOD IVY\u003c\/i\u003e examines the portrayal of higher education in movies from 1960-1990, offering a fascinating view not only of how Americans gained their views of higher education and college life during this crucial period, but also of the fascinating tension between movie fantasy and the realities of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e From \u003ci\u003eThe Graduate\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eRevenge of the Nerds\u003c\/i\u003e, from \u003ci\u003eThe Paper Chase\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eEducating Rita\u003c\/i\u003e, the book delves into how movies treat the classroom, the extra-curricular, rites of passage, professors, romance, sports, alcohol and drugs, and sometimes, education itself. It offers some startling conclusions on how movies often reflect America's latent anti-intellectualism and how students can enter college with media-fed expectations for an experience different from what they encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256045949272,"sku":"9780810828919","price":82.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780810828919.jpg?v=1778568345","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/celluloid-ivy","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
