1) Write reviews of “Harlan County USA” and “Hearts & Minds”
2) a) In President Eisenhower’s fairwell speech in 1961, he coined the phrase “military-industrial complex” and warned the American public that it was only “an alert and knowledgeable citizenry” that this complex could be prevented from becoming too powerful and influential here at home. Apply the term “military-industrial complex” to both films, siting specific moments in the films.
It’s fairly easy to apply the terms in connection with “Hearts & Minds”. In applying “military-industrial complex” to “Harland County USA”, although Eisenhower was referring specifically to the defense industry in this speech, can you make the argument that the complex extends beyond the defense industry into other sectors, such as energy?
