The 1930s, 1970s and the 2000s were tough times for
everyone. During these tough times, the big question on everyone’s mind
is “when is it going to get better?”
This book is an analysis of the weekly movie box
office and the financial to create a profile of movies we like when
we’re positive or negative about the future. In
times of depression (both emotionally and economically), we like
different movies than in times of prosperity. It depends on the
movie genre, story and quality. Each factor contributes to our “movie
mood” and a measure of our collective state of mind.
So join me in reviewing 30 years of
depression and the movies we loved during these dismal times; movies
like King Kong, The Dark Knight, The French
Connection, Young Frankenstein, The Hangover and
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Each opened during a pivotal turning
point in our history and confirmed a change in movie mood, a new wave of
depression or optimism. If you understand the emotional signals from
the box office, you can take action in your own life with greater
confidence, either to follow the crowd or move against it to seize new
opportunities in your life, both financially and personally.
Are you considering moving to a new
job, changing careers, retiring early, going back to school or starting
a business? Whatever changes you want to make in your life, it helps to
know the mood of the nation.
