Fantasy film post 9/11[electronic resource] /Frances Pheasant-Kelly. - New York, New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource (viii, 211 p.) :ill.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-201) and index.

Introduction -- Settings, spectacle, and the other: picturing disgust in Jackson's The lord of the rings trilogy -- Bewitching, abject, uncanny: magical spectacle in the Harry Potter films -- Pirate politics and the spectacle of the Other: Pirates of the Caribbean -- Resurrection, anthropomorphism, and Cold War echoes in Adamson's The chronicles of Narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe -- The aesthetics of trauma: temporality, and multidirectional memory in Pan's labyrinth -- Reframing the Cold War in the twenty-first century: action, nostalgia and nuclear holocaust in Indiana Jones and The kingdom of the crystal skull -- The ecstasy of chaos: mediating 9/11, terrorism and trauma in The dark knight -- Wounding, morality and torture: reflections of the War on Terror in Iron man and Iron man 2 -- Shock and awe: terror, technology, and the sublime nature of Cameron's Avatar -- Conclusion.

Examining a range of popular fantasy films released in the past decade, including the Harry Potter films, Jackson's Lord of the Rings series, and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies through to The Dark Knight and Avatar, this book explores the reasons for these films' incredible success. Pheasant-Kelly explores the meaningfulness of such films to current audiences while considering how technology, spectacle, and an increasing affinity for magic and mysticism have been important in promoting the turn to fantasy. The imagery and themes reflecting 9/11, new millennial anxieties, the war on terror, and environmental disasters have furthered fantasy's rise to dominance. Fantasies offer ways to subconsciously re-enact or work through traumatic memories of these issues for viewers reluctant to witness real images of death and destruction.
