Title: From sacred to scientific: epic religion, spectacular science and Charlton Heston's sf cinemaAuthor: Chambers, Amy C.Article type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Article examines the transition from religious to science-based narratives in 1970s film, and the way religion was used in the production of films that commented upon scientific advancement. The paper focuses on the films of Charlton Heston, who went from playing God in ‘The Ten Commandments’ (1956), to a messianic scientist in ‘The Omega Man’ (1971), and looks at how the science-based films he starred in took advantage of utopian promises of science and countercultural fears, such as consumerism and nuclear armament.
