  • Review Of The Book 'The Glass Castle' By Mary Rose Walls

    901 Words  | 4 Pages

    Walt Disney once said “I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should. Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality;” Rex and Mary Rose Walls lived by this quote.

    In Peggy Orenstein’s book, she effectively argues that a princess-like society immersed in America's culture is damaging to young girls through her interviews, evidence, personal experience, and humorous tone. Starting towards the beginning of her book, Orenstein exposes to the audience that she too liked Disney. She says that "God knows I was a Disney kid. I still have my bona fide mouse ears" (Orenstein 13). By doing this, Orenstein conveys her knowledge of the two sides of her argument: Disney is damaging to young kids or vice versa.

  • Growth In The Goonies By Richard Donner

    1016 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Goonies were in need for a miracle to save their homes before their last weekend was over, and Mikey built up enough poise to direct the others, telling them that they couldn’t give up; even though their adventure set them on the brink of death. This motif also reaches out to a larger statement about Western cultural ideals and values. A great ideal taken away from this film is the concept that everyone needs some sort of adventure in their childhood. Not every child may have experienced a journey as wicked as The Goonies’, but even the littlest of things, such as playing tag with friends or playing pretend, gives children the enjoyable memories they won’t forget as they grow older. In relation to the need for adventure, Western values also consist of enjoying the journey, not necessarily the goal itself.

    Famous entrepreneur and animator, Walt Disney, once said and lived by the following: “I don’t believe in playing down to children. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows.” Similarly, Jeannette Walls’ memoir, The Glass Castle, expresses how individuals face the world and such experiences on their own, gaining wisdom, despite their age and an apathetic support system. Facing multiple adverse conditions, Rex and Rose Walls kept their family from amassing happiness, substantial wealth-- wasted in alcoholism, and precious time--in attempts to achieve personal goals that put their children’s successes aside. Yet however, the Walls parents never “treated

    I believe that all good movies have a climax with suspense that makes you want to keep watching to find out what happens next. In my favorite movie, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the climax is trying to find out what’s going to happen to the little boy who was abducted by the queen. What makes this movie unique is that one by one all of these kids follow in the same path while the others think that they are imagining something or dreaming it. In the beginning, four kids are sent to live in a huge mansion with an older man and one rainy day they decide that they want to look around inside and the youngest goes into a room alone and finds a wardrobe, goes inside and finds a winter wonderland.

    The lyrics of the song Arabian Nights are just one of the many examples in which Disney movies stereotype minority groups, even up to the level that can be identified as racism. Yet, thinking about Disney certainly does not often lead to discussions about racism. However, watching these movies now as an adult and with the ability to critically question the depiction of marginalised groups, these illustrations raise the question as to if and how beloved classic Disney features help fostering stereotypes and racism. Therefore, the following academic work aims at debating this issue. b. Problem

  • Mean Ladies Transgendered Villains In Disney Films Analysis

    Amanda Putnam’s essay, “Mean Ladies: Transgendered Villains in Disney Films”, is a compelling piece on gender portrayal and views in Disney films. Putnam opened the essay with a personal anecdote about her daughter. Her daughter wanted a Disney movie without a “mean lady”, as in most Disney films the villains are scary, evil women. The real life evidence strengthened her claim that children are noticing the characterization of female villains in Disney films. The antidote was brought fill circle when she referred back to her daughter in the final paragraphs of her essay.
