Hollywood Caste Conventions Between Artists And Artists In Hollywood

Decent Essays
It is unreasonable to assume that Hollywood costume conventions are the yardstick by which others should be measured because in Hollywood a certain designer does everyone. While in India, they do the star system. Every actor has their own costume designer, no matter what film the actor are working one, they keep the same designer. In Hollywood, for a film, there is only one designer who tends to do the entire film. Also in Hollywood, the designer is in completely in charge and tells the stars what to wear. However, in India, the duty is shared between the actor and the designer, which they do their own thing.

    Embrace Diversity, Hollywood Hollywood is American society’s guilty pleasure and the most frequent used source of entertainment. People rush to the movies in flocks for an opening premier of Hollywood’s latest blockbuster hit. Therefore the movie and television industry has become so much a part of American culture that society fails to question what is actually being broadcasted.

    1.3 Racial Diversity It would be completely incorrect to assume that the problem with female representation has been resolved. One cannot be supportive of feminism if it is only seen in one dominant ethnicity. The casual racism that often appears on the Hollywood screen is not only politically incorrect but also unsupportive of female empowerment.…

    North American people were depicted in the last century either as to be proud, independent, strong and honourable people or bloodthirsty savages. This gave the impression that native people were all amazing fighters yet unintelligent. Hollywood had little to no understanding of Indian language or culture. In early Hollywood Westerns, most of the background Indians were real Native Americans. Native Americans were seen as props in movies.…

    Along with this line, I want to take the moment and enlarge the argument of how ethnicity of a director effects the culture that is portrayed. Despite, Boyle’s different cultural background from what he was trying to depict, Slumdog Millionaire had achieved great success in box office along to winning eight Academy Awards including the best picture and director award. Danny Boyle's British camera is empowered to fulfill his curiosity by opening the closed doors of a remote place to the world. Boyle’s cinematical esthetics and filmmaking approach could be described through the term “hyper-realism” as he amalgamates intense performances with the cinematic technology (Browning, 2010,77). As defined by the theorist Nobuyoshi Terashima, hyper-reality…

The example you gave was that these D-List Actors have a standard of beauty they need to meet in order to get jobs and be popular. In turn, these actors undergo plastic surgery, hours of hair and makeup, and certain wardrobes that suit society. By agreeing to all of this, the actors cooperate and therefore, will most likely get hired.…

    The Racial Caste System

    The aspects of the racial caste system is defined as a racial group locked into an inferior position by law and custom. Alexander contends that Jim Crow, mass incarceration, and slavery were all caste systems. The original Jim Crow laws, that were put into place after slavery, advocated racial discrimination in public housing, employment, voting, and education. The Civil Rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s apparently ended the Jim Crow era by winning the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Even after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Alexander asserts that the racial caste system has not ended, but just simply been redesigned.…
