The decade from 2000 to 2009 is framed, at one end, by the traumatic catastrophe of
the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and, at the other, by the election of the
first African American president of the United States. In between, the United States
and the world witnessed the rapid expansion of new media and the Internet, such natural
disasters as Hurricane Katrina, political uprisings around the world, and a massive
meltdown of world economies. Amid these crises and revolutions, American films responded
in multiple ways, sometimes directly reflecting these turbulent times, and sometimes
indirectly couching history in traditional genres and stories. In American Cinema
of the 2000s, essays from ten top film scholars examine such popular series as the
groundbreaking Matrix films and the gripping adventures of former CIA covert operative
Jason Bourne; new, offbeat films like Juno; and the resurgence of documentaries like
Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Each essay demonstrates the complex ways in which
American culture and American cinema are bound together in subtle and challenging
ways
