摘要

摘要:《投下巨大的阴影》(1966)通常被学者视为亲以色列好莱坞电影的一部分，如《出埃及记》(1960)，它向观众传递了一个英雄的“新犹太人”，他被认为是犹太人大屠杀受害者的对立面。它的编剧兼导演兼制片人梅尔维尔·沙维尔森(Melville Shavelson)认为这部电影是失败的，但他选择在随后的出版物中回归制作故事，并在书籍和电视电影中回归其主题。通过对这些作品的分析，本文为理解《投下巨大的阴影》构建了额外的语境。其中包括这部电影与美国越南战争的关系，它对以色列电影业的意义，尤其是它在探索美国犹太人身份及其与以色列复杂而不断变化的关系方面的作用。

"The Catskill Mountains with Arabs": Pluralizing the Meanings of Melville Shavelson's Cast a Giant Shadow (1966)

ABSTRACT:Cast a Giant Shadow (1966) has usually been viewed by scholars as part of a group of pro-Israeli Hollywood films, such as Exodus (1960), that delivered to their viewers a heroic "new Jew" who was perceived as the antithesis of the Jewish Holocaust victim. Its writer-director-producer, Melville Shavelson, believed that the film was a failure, yet he chose to return to the story of its making in subsequent publications and to its themes in books and a television film. By analyzing these works, this article constructs additional contexts for understanding Cast a Giant Shadow. These include the film's relation to the US war in Vietnam, its significance for the Israeli film industry, and especially its role in exploring American Jewishness and its complex and shifting relationship to Israel.
