Wait, no, I'm doing this now!

I've decided to narrow my focus down to entertainment during wartimes. Over the next few days I'll be deciding which wars I want to focus on (most of them will be more recent, i.e. 1900+), and will try to research the issue of how entertainment responds to and comments on war from the perspective of multiple cultures, not just the United States.

I haven't made any decisions yet and I have to think through the topic some more, but some possible ideas for pieces of entertainment I can incorporate are Empire of the Sun and Grave of the Fireflies for WWII (showing POVs from two different cultures), TV shows like 24 and Sleeper Cell for the Post-9/11 world, along with movies like United 93 and World Trade Center. Obviously there will be a lot more when I start researching more.
