The films analyzed include The Last Jedi, Terminator, Cloud Atlas, Darjeeling Limited, Hellboy, The Revenant, Religulous, and The Secret of my Success.Each chapter offers:- an explanation of the particular representation of religion that appears in film- a discussion of how this representation has been interpreted in film criticism and religious studies scholarship- an in-depth study of a Hollywood or popular film to highlight the rhetorical, social, and political functions this representation accomplishes on the silver screen- a discussion about how such analysis might be applied to other films of a similar genreWritten in an accessible style, and focusing on Hollywood and popular cinema, this book will be of interest to both movie lovers and experts alike.
