"The New American War Film" by Robert Burgoyne is a book that explores how war films released since 9/11 have redefined the traditional American war film genre. The author argues that these films have shifted the focus from noble deeds and the restoration of social order to endless wars without a clear mission. The book examines the changes in themes, gender representation, and the use of technology in war films. It also analyzes specific films directed by women and featuring female lead characters. The author concludes that these new war films reflect a sense of psychological and moral injury, leaving the reader with a puzzle about their meaning. [Extracted from the article]
