Amerykańskie przebudzenie. Transgresja ideologiczna w filmach Davida Finchera
American awakenings. Ideological transgression in David Fincher's films

Summary/Abstract: Hollywood cinema has always been one of the pillars of the American status quo. Propagating conservative values, mainstream films create an idealized world of America, which more frequently meets criticism of both films-goers and artists themselves. One of them is David Fincher. Being involved in an interesting game with the spectator, he makes mainstream movies. But at the same time he realizes his vision and demythologizes the system he is part of. Two levels are transgressed in his movies. On the formal platform Fincher’s transgression takes places through auto-thematism and disclosure of storytelling. In the storyline the film director seeks to expose the American propaganda of success. By painting a picture of the society of excessive fulfillment, Fincher condemns myths constituting American Dream, the product of Hollywood ideology, which has obscured a true image of the society.
