The discourse of sound motion pictures has evolved to become a cultural practice through which people attempt to grasp their subjective cognitive reality as part of a shared world.

Based on the premise that a society's sense of commonality depends upon media practices of political communitarization, this study examines how Hollywood was deployed during the Second World War.
