The Black Female Body in Venus and Intimate Apparel Being a white female-presenting person lends its own perspective to the race and gender divide in our country. On the one hand, I face oppression every single day simply by virtue of walking down the street and being catcalled; or foolishly attempting to prove that I know something (anything) to a man who does not believe a woman can form her own coherent opinions. On the other, I have no way of truly understanding the effect of racial…

Since I am not much of a devotee when it comes to romantic films, I had come to the decision to leave my comfort zone, and view Casablanca (Curtiz, 1942). Initially, I felt as though this was just a trivial, romantic war piece from the 1940’s. I discovered through various viewings for this assignment that this was not the case.
