While tracing both Hollywood's internal foreign relations protocols—from the \"Open Door\" policy of the silent era to the \"National Feelings\" provision of the Production Code—and external regulatory interventions by the Chinese government, the U.S. State Department, the Office of War Information, and the Department of Defense, Hye Seung Chung reevaluates such American classics as \u003ci\u003eShanghai Express\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Great Dictator\u003c\/i\u003e and applies historical insights to the controversies surrounding contemporary productions including \u003ci\u003eDie Another Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Interview\u003c\/i\u003e. This richly detailed book redefines the concept of \"creative freedom\" in the context of commerce: shifting focus away from the artistic entitlement to offend foreign audiences toward the opportunity to build new, better relationships with partners around the world through diplomatic representations of race, ethnicity, and nationality.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Diplomatic Representations in Classical Hollywood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
