Militainment in British Cinema: Analysis Based on Selected Film Productions
Open accessAbstract
Since the invention of cinematography, scenes of battles have fascinated directors and have become an important element of film art.Over the years, the British film industry has developed a rich repertoire of conventions to present warfare.Moreover, the military history of this country is regarded as an inexhaustible source of inspiration which can be converted into a countless number of screenplays.In recent years, it has been argued that a transformation in the paradigm of presenting war in comparison with the times of the Great World Wars has appeared.The phenomenon is called militainment.To propose a precise definition of this term proves to be problematic.It is commonly used to describe the presentation of military elements in popular culture and the ways in which contemporary media depict war drama as a fascinating and entertaining spectacle.It seems crucial to describe factors which may have led to the appearance and development of militainment in the context of film studies.Consequently, the aim of this paper is to provide a forum for discussing how militainment has influenced the presentation of war in films that were produced in the United Kingdom.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
