Film historians and fans alike look back on the 1950s as the golden age of science fiction B-movies. In this course, you'll have the chance to rediscover these cinematic treasures—and perhaps experience some for the very first time. Together, we will watch and analyze eleven iconic science fiction films, delving into the stories behind their creation, examining their cinematic techniques, and discussing the impact each had on the evolution of the science fiction genre. We'll also assess the plausibility of the science and technology presented in these films, and explore how their themes mirror Cold War anxieties and the shifting social and cultural landscape of 1950s America. Above all, this course is designed to rekindle the sense of wonder that these movies inspired when we first encountered them.
