The Bush Administration was undoubtedly aware that cinematic versions of history endure in the memory of people far better than other modes of historical explanation. In November of 2001, they sent Karl Rove, President Bush's well-known political advisor, to Los Angeles to meet with Hollywood filmmakers. Rove clearly articulated the official, Washington DC, version of these attacks to his elite audience: the war should be fought on both a "military" and an "idea" front; the global problem of terrorism requires an international collaborative response; the principles of freedom and democracy must be heard over the totalitarian ideas of Islamic fundamentalists; and we are fighting against militant factions, not against Islam itself. The authors compare the official "narrative" expressed by Rove with the narratives of United 93 and World Trade Center in order to evaluate whether Hollywood echoed the voice of the Bush Administration or exhibited independence in their interpretations of September 11Članek proučuje odnos med Hollywoodom in ameriško politiko z analizo dveh pomembnih filmov o napadih 11. septembra: United 93 in World Trade Center. Busheva administracija se je nedvomno zavedala, da filmske različice zgodovine ostajajo v spominu ljudi mnogo bolj kot drugi načini zgodovinske razlage. V novembru leta 2001 so poslali Karla Rovea, znanega Bushovega političnega svetovalca, v Los Angeles na srečanje s hollywoodskimi filmskimi ustvarjalci. Rove je elitnemu občinstvu jasno predstavil uradno washingtonsko različico teh napadov: vojna je treba bojevati na "vojaški" in "idejni" fronti; svetovni problem terorizma zahteva skupen mednarodni odziv; načela svobode in demokracije morajo preglasiti totalitarne ideje islamskih fundamentalistov; bojujemo se proti militantnim frakcijam, ne proti islamu sploh. Avtorji primerjajo uradno Roveovo "pripoved" s pripovedmi filmov United 93 in World Trade Center, da bi ocenili, ali je Hollywood posnemal glas Busheve administracije ali pa avtonomno oblikoval svojo interpretacijo 11. septembraTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
