    Our understanding of other nations and cultures is often designed by our visual memory of mediated visual information or film. Numerous inter-related social forces contribute to perception of others and these portrayals play an integral role in influencing this society’s attitudes towards certain groups, especially when presented in a realistic form like film. Film shapes ethnic and national identities, particularly in the absence of personal interactions with one another. “Lion” has great impact on how Australian society perceives India. The depiction of India in Western society is examined from the expansive framework of representations of third world countries in Australian film.…

    All of the three films talked about the changes of the Indians’ life after the arrival of the Europeans in different levels or aspects. The differences lied in the Indians’ reactions or behavior, in regard to change, adaption, resistance and revitalization, when they confronted the outsiders. In the Cauldron of War, we could see huge impacts the Europeans brought on the various aspects of the Indians’ life. First of all, the fur trade introduced by the Europeans changed the Indians’ self-sufficient way of life into commercial function.…

    Bend it like Beckham and She’s the Man are both movies that are relatively the same to one another. Both of the movies include a girl who is passionate about soccer and can go to any extent in proving to society that girls can play sports just like guys can. But what actually makes these two movies unique? Both of the movies display sexism in the sport for women. The movies challenges traditional views of females and males in society, which leads to assigning each of the gender a specific role that are made specially for them.…

    Burton’s Uniqueness Through Films We as humans were not created to live in sameness. The aching thought of every living being looking, acting, and thinking exactly alike is nearly unfathomable, predominantly because it is so far-fetched from the world in which we live. Thankfully, each individual (humans in particular) that inhabits Earth will without a doubt always be created to be unique. All brought into existence with different sets of skills and personalities, some of which are used to bring forth some of the most mind-boggling projects such as movies/films, and forms of entertainment alike, that invoke a series of emotions from audiences that stretch far and wide.…

    1. Why, does the film argue, is the under-representation of women in the political process in the U.S. (and in leadership positions more generally) a big problem? The film argues that the women in the political process in the US are a big problem since they are highly sexualized, depicted as non-intellectual as well as being mocked. They are viewed as the sexual icons which can be used in the advertisement rather than run the political responsibilities.…

    Within American’s Modern movies, two different teenage females often appear in the same movie. One of them challenges patriarchal gender schema, which is America’s belief that masculine traits are only to be possessed by males, and the other female does not (Devor 506). From the given information, who is the hero and who is the villain? Does the interpretive audience get to choose or are the movie directors, who portrayed these girls differently, the final deciders? Often overlooked; both of these types of females have masculine tendencies; however, instead of being represented equally, one of the girls is portrayed negatively while the other girl is portrayed as a lovable character.…

    Lashaunda, I remembered one of your comments, as I was reading fellow classmates post. The comment, “And I agree that the winners of historical events are the story tellers,” there is so much truth weaved into that statement. Undeniably, I have wondered what the real truth involving accurate historical events other than what we have been told to believe. Concerning film, the goal is to make money as the bottom line. Another point to make about film back in that era is the filmmakers were white people and when I realized that many Indian characters were played by white people is ironically strange in my viewpoint, just like men played women in Shakespeare plays; because you can’t truly understand that character, if you do not have respect for…

    The Movie Crash Analysis

    • 2 Pages

    Crash is a movie that is all about racial stereotypes that people consider in, and how they see people all around them. These typecasts lead the characters to have prejudgments about explicit people in the film. Every race is guilt-ridden of having biased beliefs about some many characters in the movie, and for some odd reason all the different characters with their own unique race all tie up to one another. The theme of the film is that we should all see everyone the same even if they look or talk dissimilar from us. There are different types of individuals in every race, whether this means moral or ruthless people, or clever or unintelligent people.…

    Portes and Zhou provide evidence for this claim with an ethnographic study of Punjabi Sikhs at Valleyside high school from 1980 to 1982 by M.A. Gibson (28). While Portes and Zhou’s evidence is focused on specific ethnic groups, Waters’ evidence focuses on a current misconception of the public: language assimilation. Waters reasons that “some linguistic assimilation can happen too rapidly” (240) and utilizes various studies done by other sociologists including Portes and Zhou that find a positive correlation between a second generation immigrant’s “fluent bilingualism and academic achievement” (240). These studies were all produced between 1996 and 2003, which is fourteen to twenty one years after the evidence Portes and Zhou utilized in their article. While Portes and Zhou provided specific evidence of the benefits of selective assimilation, Waters’ evidence on language assimilation can be associated with every second generation immigrant regardless of ethnic identity.…

    “Main ek Hindustani hun aur main janta hun ki ek Hindustani larki ki izzat kya hoti hai” a dialogue by Raj in the movie reflects how valuable the honour of a girl is in the Indian culture.

All these scenes in the movie show the diasporic Indianess, which further suggest that diaspora is not a threat to Indian values and its culture.
