Michael Rogin analyzes how the film reimagines American society and rewrites American history. Propaganda disguised as escapism, Independence Day salves American anxiety -- about race, sexuality, disease and war -- by means of delirious movie-making. Consummating the marriage of America's two top export industries -- entertainment and aerospace -- the film, says Rogin, is "the defining motion picture of Bill Clinton's America".
