- Reviewed Section 3 of the lecture on U.S. History through film. Important concepts were the iconic images for three film genres of the Great Depression: musicals, crime dramas, and road trips. Discussed how each of these images influences American culture. For example, we talked about the idea that anyone in America, even if they start out poor, can become rich through hard work. These people go from rags to riches. The image of the road trip emphasizes Americans love of cars and the feeling of independence they get from them.
