摘要：Infotainment and pedagogical objectives often mix well together and,increasingly,educational films rely on that combination in order to convey their intended messages. This is in clear contrast to another branch of educational films which includes The Silent Scream (1984) and The Finishing Line (1987). Such films effectively and therapeutically generate emotional reactions (including shock,angst,fear,disgust,etc.) among average viewers by making us aware of our mortality and ontology. After viewing Consumerism and the Limits to Imagination (2014),however,the boundaries between infotainment and therapeutic angst media become less obvious than previously perceived.
