Improved Essays
Movies can be seen as dramatic representations of our lives, to be seen as comedies or romantic dramas. People tend to enjoy movies because of the action packed scenes and more, or because they can relate to the movie’s ideas, whether it be to fall in love at a coffee shop with an attractive character or moreover they face the same social views placed onto the characters to create a heart-wrenching film. In the movies Pleasantville, crash, the help, milk, and easy A, the main themes follow racism, conformity, alienation, gender roles, and self-realization leading to the idea that social barriers prevent minorities from joining society as an equal. This is because minorities are on the opposite side of these barriers facing discrimination consequently

    In the essay, “The Offensive Movie Cliche’ That Won’t Die”, the author, Matt Zoller Seitz argues that most films portraying good morals and positive attributes about an African American character may actually just be an illusion to the audience and that the strings controlling the puppet aren’t so friendly after all. He also mentions how the role of a “magical negro” shows up in real life. Throughout his text, Seitz exemplifies a number of cases where a “magical negro” exists in today’s popular movies. He mentions various instances where some of the most relevant actors play these roles of the “magical negro”, such as Danny Glover in Legendary, Cuba Gooding Jr. in What Dreams May Come, Will Smith in The Legend of Bagger Vance, Laurence Fishburne…

    In Michaels Omi’s article, “In Living Color,” he discusses the deeply rooted structures behind race in popular culture.

Omi highlights a very realistic conflict in society: Racism. According to Omi, racial discrimination based on gender, color, race and ethnicity are categories that decipher individuals in a systematic way.

    Throughout the semester We discussed how the “woman” is portrayed in film, and how these representations have influenced the Gaze. Earlier in this semester I analyzed Bell Hooks “The Oppositional Gaze” which connected with me and I decided to expound on this approach to film. I intended to analyses how black female spectator’s perception of themselves and the society can be influenced based on the messages depicted within the film entitled Imitation of Life (1959); What is the role of the females throughout this film, how these roles are portrayed differently the between black and white character, ultimately I intend to highlight this gender-racial bias within cinema. As a black spectator the Imitation of Life (1959) connected with me, because it addresses serious issues like racism, female representations, capitalism, and other appropriate cinematic discrimination which was largely based societal issues; It’s essential to recognize that the how spectators “look” at the film is just as important as its content.…

From time to time, television's hegemonic approach subliminally sends stereotypically negative images of Black people and families. However, shows such as The Cosby Show, and Prince of Bel-Air, went against traditional stereotypes of Black Families by displaying their middle and their upper middle class family lives in distinct ways. Therefore, this paper examines these shows and present ways of how these shows go against the stereotypes and examine marriage, fatherhood, and stability within Black families. Since the beginning, television has not known what to do with black characters.…

    The humorous and amusing comedy film Get Hard (2015) demonstrates the reflection of social attitudes seen in today’s society.

    At varying degrees both productions include at least some racial or familial diversity beyond sexual diversity; however, unlike The Fosters, diversity is simply a veneer in The Kids Are All Right. Although moments of queerness are represented they largely appear at the surface. This places a cloak over the lived experiences of many queer families and turns away from addressing social issues and systemic oppressions. The Kids Are All Right’s effort to portray them as equals through the mundanity of a lesbian family; problematically, this is paralleled by the production’s ambivalent inclusion of diversity in that both are evident and unexplored. In this way, mere representation can justify the disregard for the broader context.…

    Stereotypes of people of color and minority races have been around for many years, and have proved themselves to dominate the perception of people of color in everyday life. Films portray people of color as they are perceived by white Americans, not how they truly are, unique. Film has only dirtied the minority races’ image over time, though if the movies were not made by other Americans, they were more accurate to their race. Stereotypes of Asians have been around for a long time, ever since Asians were introduced. Stereotypes such as Asian students are smarter, Asian women are more exotic and tend to wait on men, Asian women are submissive, Asian people are all from China, and many others.…

    The film Pleasantville depicts an idyllic 1950's community that experiences profound challenges to its unquestioned, taken-for-granted social norms. The movie works well in an introductory sociology class as an allegory about a settled or stable society that undergoes rapid social change following a major disruption in the worldview and widespread norm breaching. Specifically, the film depicts challenges related to the use of language, modes of communication, family formation, sexual norms, social deviance, art, and media. I recommend using the film in its entirety to demonstrate how in-groups resist change, while out-groups often challenge norms and produce positive (or negative) adaptations to society. One could also use segments of the film to demonstrate concepts like alienation,…

    Throughout the country’s history, minorities have seen America as a place of opportunity. This is why in recent years, the topic of whitewashing has been brought up again and again. “Minorities make up more than 36 percent of the U.S. population but represented only 10 percent of lead characters in movies and sat in 12 percent of director’s chairs in 2011, the last year for which data is available.” (5) And yet, even with this data on file, the problem hasn’t been fixed. The commotion stirred up around the lack of representation of minorities has been ignored by many directors, or if the people see minority representation, it is stereotypical.…

    Still, it can be argued that stereotypes are derived from a sliver of truth, and should not be taken seriously. For example, when asked to comment if she believed she was perpetuating stereotypes of Asian-American women, actress Nancy Kwan of The World of Suzie Wong and Flower Drum Song “has stated that she was trying to enact roles to the best of her ability and that perhaps people are reading too much into these media images” (Mok, 1998). Furthermore, at University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication, Ji Hoon Park, Nadine Gabbadon, and Ariel Chernin performed a study aiming to understand the implications of racial stereotypes in comedy by analyzing audience reactions to a showing of Rush Hour 2 (2001). Their results showed…
