Resumo: Films provide important insights into the psychological, socio-political, and ideological make-up of a society and culture. Reading film diagnostically allows one to gain insights into social problems and conflicts and to appraise the dominant socio-political problems and crises of the contemporary moment. This article engages Hollywood films that contain allegories of catastrophe within the context of the Bush-Cheney era. As I attempt to show, horror, fantasy and other popular film genres articulate fears of the present moment concerning the state and the military, ecological and social crisis, and other phenomena, and can thus provide critical images and provide experiences that raise questions about the existing society

Analisar o cinema diagnosticamente permite-nos obter esclarecimentos sobre problemas e conflitos sociais e avaliar crises e problemas sociopolíticos dominantes da atualidade. Este artigo aborda filmes de Hollywood que contêm alegorias de catástrofe no contexto da era Bush-Cheney. Como pretendo mostrar, filmes de horror, fantasia e outros gêneros populares expressam temores do momento atual relacionados ao Estado e aos militares, crises ecológica e social, e outros fenômenos, e podem, portanto, oferecer imagens críticas e experiências que levantem questões sobre a sociedade vigenteUniversidade de São Paulo.
