| dc.description.abstract | Discourses on PTSD impacts, trauma exposure and mental health issues have broadened, claiming the need for trauma therapy and other healing methods, which help the sufferers to redefine their boundaries and rebuild their inner self. These days PTSD has already got its crucial role in storytelling and culture, while also penetrating some significant artistic forms, primarily cinema. The primary aim of this paper, therefore, is to observe the changing cinematic conventions of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder representation, namely how it has transformed from barely being a simple mental health concept and a vague narrative idea at the beginning of its history, to becoming something more of a strategy of how to write and depict a character. In order to give an overview about how PTSD changed from being a narrative idea to a narrative strategy, we will juxtapose and compare William Wyler’s The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) to Jason Hall’s Thank You For Your Service! (2014) both in content and visuals employed to make certain effects. | hu_HU |
