Before World War Two, Hollywood movie’s attitudes to intervention is underwent a progressive change. Before the early 1930s, several reasons guided Hollywood movies to focus mainly on entertainment and avoid being interventionist. After that, Hollywood movie began to take an entirely different standpoint. This new standpoint of interventionism became more and more dramatic and explicit after 1938. This paper records the progressive development of Hollywood movie’s changing positions to interventionism. Meanwhile, the reasons concerning this change are also exemplified, which, the paper finally points out, will help a lot to understand the propaganda role played by Hollywood movie during World War Two.
