Abstract (Englisch):This article examines the film historian and critic Richard Schickel’s negative reception of Hollywood war films, particularly William Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). For the author, critics like Richard Schickel miss the mark when they deride war films such as The Best Years of Our Lives as jingoistic and unrealistic lies because they expect too much from the Hollywood dream factory and fall into the trap of casting themselves as crusaders for truth against patriotic propaganda. He argues for a more nuanced approach towards war films which treats audiences with respect instead of as passive consumers unwittingly accepting every fiction Hollywood delivers them. This contribution argues for an acknowledgment of the historical context in which films like The Best Years of Our Lives were made and a more balanced approach for analyzing Hollywood’s depiction of World War II.
