Description
Summary:In this essay, I will clarify the relationship between propaganda and film censorship in Italy and French during and after the First World War through veterans' experience. I analyzed those themes between 1915 and 1925.I propose to consider the films of Italian fiction on veterans' experience not in a unified way: after two years of war thesituation got worst. No film in this period had a happy end. In French the situation was inverse: during the war brutality and death was revealed. After armistice of Compiègne, films about war became less violent and the veteran status improved.
