This essay intends to show a case study of the cultural representation of affective relationships in four American movies on the eve of 1990s, considering USA’s contextual roads to the flexible labor market. The comparative drama approach works to us as a way of analyzing cultural expectations and values through movie discourses. As we know, movies can do judgments, (re)presentations and/or propositions on specific contexts and institutions, exposing their values, behaviors, thoughts, dreams and contradictions. So, I have proposed that the four American movies chosen here have avoided class struggle approaches and have represented conformist values – and affective expectations of learning and behavior – that endure American social dynamics of post-fordist capitalism.
