摘要
The paper presents results from a quantitative analysis of some 200 fiction films. Chemistry is the iconic discipline of the 'mad scientist' reflecting the alchemical imagery that was prevalent until recently (and can still be identified) in the depiction of science in films. Other results show the ambivalence with which primarily the natural sciences are represented in popular movies.
