| Description: | One cannot consider contemporary American film without thinking of Hollywood’s ambiguous bodies that escape human imperfection by the fusion of biotechnology with the body. Enacting ‘American-ness’, the bodies on film are now jostled and coerced into a conspicuous optimisation; one that is the duty of each citizen, be it for power, profit or beauty. This somatic duty is the new form of ableism in Hollywood film. |
