  • Censorship: an Historical Interpretation
    FALL 1991 167 Censorship: An Historical Interpretation Gregory D. Black In Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso, a nostalgic look at growing up in a small Sicilian village, the local movie theater dominates the social life of the town. Everyone, it seems, went to the movies because they brought information, entertainment, excitement, and romance to the village. But at least one person feared the power and influence of this modern entertainment. The local priest insisted on censoring the films before they contaminated his flock with the infectious immorality of the outside world. As one villager complained: "I haven't seen a kiss in twenty years!" The experience of those who attended the Cinema Paradiso, while extreme, was shared by movie fans the world over. Convinced that films were capable of seductively changing the moral, ethical, and political values of the audience, censors and moral guardians from Sicily to Hollywood fought to prevent films from achieving the artistic freedom the other art forms enjoyed. Nowhere was this more true than in America. While the Italian priest tried to protect his flock from "immorality," films were also censored for political content. An analysis of films made in Hollywood from 1930 to the 1960s would show that only a handful dealt with such issues as depression, unemployment, changing moral standards, social reform, racism, fascism, communism and war with the level of realism and honesty they deserved. Hollywood was seemingly ruled by the old adage, attributed to Samuel Goldwyn, "if you have a message, send it by Western Union." Marked by fluff, rather than substance, Hollywood filmmakers were committed to "harmless entertainment." But why was the industry so afraid of making films other than the westerns, cops and robbers, mindless comedies, action thrillers and musicals that dominated studio production? One answer is obvious.

  • The Irish-American Gangster in Film
    Farrell 1 THE IRISH-AMERICAN GANGSTER IN FILM By Professor Steven G. Farrell 1 Farrell 2 When The Godfather was released in the early seventies, it effectively created a myth of the virtually unbeatable Italian crime family for the American public that endured for the remainder of the century. This film also effectively eliminated all other white ethnic organized gangs from the silver screen, as well as from the public’s eye. Hollywood, as we shall see, had their history wrong in this case. The Italian Mafia was never as invincible as Hollywood depicted it on film, nor did they always have everything their own way when it came to illegal activities. It wasn’t until the close of the last century that the film industry began to expose the old-time hoods as being fallible and besieged on all sides from new criminal elements connected with newly arrived immigrant groups. The Cubans, Russians and the Colombian hoods, along with the longer established African and Mexican American gangs, had begun to nibble away at the turf long controlled by the almighty Italian mob. As the paradigm of the urban underworld began to shift to reflect the new realities of the global economy, another look at the past by historians and Hollywood is revealing that the Italian gang never had absolute power as it was once commonly believed. The Irish hoodlums, to single out the subject of this paper, were actually engaged in gangland activities years before the arrival of the Italians and the Irish also competed with the Italians up until recently.

This controversial cycle, which was initiated by the success of films like Boyz N the Hood and Menace II Society, participated in the period’s broad cultural debates about race, class, crime and youth. As film cycles are strongly shaped by audience desire, financial viability, current events and studio whims, I argue that they retain the marks of their historical, socioeconomic and generic contexts more precisely than genres, which, because of their longevity and heterogeneity, can be unwieldy objects of study.
