Chapter 23-4: Critical Thinking # 3

What type of movies do you think might have been produced if the government had supported moviemaking as part of the New Deal? Use evidence from the chapter to support you response.

If the government had supported moviemaking as part of the New Deal, many movies would have been able to be made. A lot of the movies made would most likely be comical and about topics that everyone in that time frame could relate to. Movies would have probably consisted of a lot of made up things and fantasy plots, such as The Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. These movies both had people going through difficult times, like the people who were suffering from the Great Depression, but in the end had a happy and good result. As a result, if movies were allowed to be part of the New Deal, they would probably have related to each person and held the point that everything was going to get better. The movies could show how the government could help the people and win over those who were greedy and unkind. If moviemaking was allowed as a part of the New Deal, many social and political accomplishments would be made.
