«LZHEFLIX. THE INDUSTRY OF MANIPULATING MEANINGS» — a book that will make you look at what you watch and what you believe in a new way. Forget about «just movies», because every frame is part of a big game, in which necessary clichés are subtly imposed on you. Especially when it comes to history: the film industry cleverly rewrites it. For example, «How to Become a Tyrant» creates villains only from the necessary rulers; «Catherine the Great» repaints the superpower of the XVIII century into a backward backwater; and «Oppenheimer» reconciles us with the thought that the use of the atomic bomb was allegedly necessary.
This book is not paranoia. It is a guide to critical thinking with a solid evidentiary base. Are you ready to look behind the scenes and see how the factory of historical cinematic illusions really works?
