  Movies under the Influence charts the entangled histories of moviegoing and mind-altering substances from early cinema through the psychedelic 1970s. Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece examines how the parallel trajectories of these two aspects of American culture resulted in them being treated and regulated in similar ways. Rather than looking at drug use within film, she regards cinema and intoxicants as kindred experiences of immersion that have been subject to corresponding forces of ideology and power. 
   
   
   
  Szczepaniak-Gillece demonstrates how American movie theaters sought to cultivate a dual identity, presenting themselves as both a place of wholesome entertainment and a zone of illicit behavior. Movies under the Influence highlights the legislative, legal, and corporate powers that held sway over theaters, locating the convergence of moviegoing and drug use as a site of mediation and social control. 
   
   
   
  As much as substances and cinema are points where power intervenes, they are also settings of potential transcendence, and Movies under the Influence maintains this paradox as a necessary component of American film history. This book examines the relationship intoxicants suggest between mass media, spectatorship, and governmental regulation and provides a new angle from which to understand cinema's lasting role in evolving American culture.

  DANCES WITH WOLVES 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY KEVIN COSTNER 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Dances with Wolves" is an epic Western film directed by and starring Kevin Costner. Set during the American Civil War, it follows Lieutenant John Dunbar, who, after a heroic act on the battlefield, is sent to a remote military outpost in the western frontier. There, he encounters the Lakota Sioux tribe and begins to form an unexpected bond with them. The film explores themes of cultural conflict, survival, and the impact of colonialism. Through Dunbar's evolving relationships with the Sioux and his growing respect for their way of life, the story delves into issues of identity, honor, and unity. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Because of the film's overwhelming success and its respectful portrayal of Native Americans, the Sioux Nation honored Kevin Costner by adopting him as an honorary member.” 
    
  “In a memorable scene where the buffalo charges at Smiles a Lot, it is actually charging toward a pile of Oreo cookies, which were the buffalo's favorite treat.” 
    
  “Kevin Costner performed all of his own horseback riding, including riding bareback and shooting his gun without holding the reins, during the buffalo hunt.” 
    
  “Kevin Costner's daughter, Annie Costner, portrayed a young Stands With a Fist in the flashback dream sequence. In one scene, she runs from the Pawnee party that killed her family, looking back over each shoulder. She struggled to distinguish between her right and left sides, as she was only six years old at the time.”

  This bundle offers a compelling and deeply insightful look into the complex and often harsh realities faced by both settlers and Indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand. This three-part volume captures the resilience, conflict, and cultural endurance that shaped these lands during their formative years of colonization and nation-building.  
  The first section, Surviving the Frontier: Australia’s Harsh Beginnings, explores the brutal and unforgiving conditions faced by early European settlers, convicts, and Indigenous Australians, shedding light on the challenges of survival, frontier violence, and the clash of civilizations.  
  The second section, New Zealand: A Nation’s Journey, traces New Zealand's path from a Māori homeland to a British colony and eventually an independent nation, while examining the cultural encounters, land disputes, and social changes that defined the nation's early years.  
  The third section, Aboriginal Australia: Land, People, and Culture, dives into the rich and enduring heritage of Australia's First Nations, exploring their profound connection to the land, complex social systems, and the ongoing struggle for cultural survival and recognition.  
  Together, these three perspectives provide a nuanced understanding of the human experience on the frontiers of Australia and New Zealand — highlighting both the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the challenges of colonial settlement. This book is essential for those seeking to understand the historical intersections of survival, resistance, and cultural identity in these two remarkable nations.
