Keywords:
Cinema norte-americano, Século XXI, História dos EUA.Abstract
This essay reflects upon the situation of crisis in American politics, intensified with the September 11 attacks, through the analysis of three movies which, in different ways, denounce the problems faced in the United States: Gangs of New York (Martin Scorsese, USA, 2002), 25th Hour (Spike Lee, USA, 2003) and Bowling for Columbine (Michael Moore, USA, 2002). Among the topics portrayed by the movies there is excessive patriotism, individualism, personification of an enemy, alienation and historical amnesia.
