- W22435211 abstract "Ninety years ago, when the United States was caught in the grip of an economic and political crisis fueled by the rapid changes in industrial and agrarian relations, L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard ofOz, a work with a strong allegorical undercurrent that reflected the economic and political conflicts of his day.1 As the twenty-first century approaches, the United States again faces economic dislocations, and different anxi eties permeate the country. Post-modern faiiy-tales are not found in books, but rather in the popular culture of the movies. Today's fairy-tale is Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Arnold Schwarzenegger's megahit, an escapist action flick that features sensational special effects and lots of violence. Costing nearly $ 100 million to produce—more than any previous motion picture—Terminator 2 has proven itself well worth this massive initial investment, grossing more than $200 million at the American box office with even larger returns predicted from overseas distribution and video rentals. By all accounts, this movie has set both new records and new standards for an industry that has stagnated in recent years. Yet Terminator 2 is more than just an escapist action flick—it is an unwitting allegoiy and judgment on the United States in the closing years of the twentieth century. Once the premise that the characters and events in the Terminator movies have symbolic meaning is accepted, a viewer can see that a sophisticated political, economic, and social commentary about the future of the United States runs unconsciously throughout the entire film. While these subliminal themes have less to do with the film's immense box" @default.
