"#President #FranklinDRoosevelt mobilized the #Hollywood #film industry to boost national morale and enhance understanding of the #UnitedStates’ participation in #WorldWarII.

#Jewish #directors and #screenwriters ranging from #GeorgeCukor to #BuddSchulberg played a significant role in wartime #filmmaking. They #produced #documentaries and #movies that were at once educational, entertaining and politically useful in the advancement of #US war aims.

As Michael Berkowitz observes in Hollywood’s Unofficial Film Corps: American Jewish Moviemakers And The War Effort (The University of Wisconsin Press), they were “extraordinarily effective” in assisting the US armed forces and binding #Americans together."

Mads Mikkelsen – „Der Rausch“ (2020)

„Es begann als Film über Alkohol und Freundschaft, und dann hatten wir den Ehrgeiz, ihn zu einem Film über das Leben zu machen. Es geht nicht nur darum, am Leben zu sein, sondern zu leben.“ (Thomas Vinterberg, Regisseur) (ARD, Wh.)

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

The Presidency is not merely an administrative office. That’s the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership. All our great Presidents were leaders of thought at times when certain historic ideas in the life of the nation had to be clarified.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Interview (1932-09-11), New York Times Magazine

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.

We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust — or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and the confidence and the courage which flow from conviction.

We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other Nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men and not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.
