The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a television show starring the actor and rapper Will Smith.
Three Elements about the show that I liked was how Will Smith went from living in the ghetto with very little and having to transition to living in a mansion and being rich. I also likes how
Will Smith adds music into the show in every episode. Another thing was I liked how he always made you laugh on any show.
Will Smith started off living in the ghetto in West Philadelphia with his mother. He got into a fight and his mom was scared from him so she made him move with his auntie and uncle
Bel-Air. Now Will has to learn how to be a rich preppy male. He has to start dressing different, acting different and meeting new people.

    I personally think the show “The Beverly Hillbillies” are in a way exploiting white stereotypes. They are showcasing a family from the country moving into a lavish educated society. The show plays on the perception of white trash society, such as rednecks or hillbillies. Although the show is done for comedy purposes, it does capitalize on stereotypes within society. In the book Dean mentions, “Even critics who enjoy the show do so from a crouched defensive posture” which is regarding to another popularized hillbilly show, Honey Boo Boo, but showcases the feelings audiences may be feeling.…

    The movie “Friday Night Lights” is based on a real life best seller “Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, and a Dream”, by author H.G. Bissinger. The movie’s setting takes place at Permian High School in Odessa, Texas in 1988 when the tension between races were still strong in some areas of the south. There is some focus in some areas of the film that has to do with racial tension and the ongoing conflict between the student body and the city as a whole. Even though desegregation had happened by the time the book was written and the film was made, the schools at times were still racially divided. I also felt the movie showed how this football program exploited their black athletes.…

    Analysis Of I Love Lucy

    • 812 Words
    • 4 Pages

    With a timeless ability to charm and limitless reach over the population, I Love Lucy retains America’s infatuation in its entertainment value and cultural critique even extending half a century later. With the show’s 1950s setting and outward adherence to some of the patriarchal ideology, contemporary perspectives reveal the unalienable legitimacy to the accusations of it reinforcing patriarchal norms and being degrading to women, although it did encourage bicultural living. But as this is a sitcom and sitcoms aren’t made to recreate our current society, but to fabricate a reality the audience can fall in love with, it carries greater potential to instead view I Love Lucy as a conveyance for Lucille “Lucy” Ball to challenge the post war, prefeminism…

    In the movie High School Musical there are many different types of angles and shots that they use to make the move look good. In this film they used a shot called canted angle, they used this angle when Troy is trying to find who he is and what he wants out of life and he is walking throw the halls at the school. The halls start to turn to represent how his mind and thoughts are spinning in his head.
