Stereotypes In The Movie Zootopia

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape is an intriguing film which teaches a very valuable lesson about life. The film does a very good job with expressing the importance of roles within the family, responsibilities and breaking down barriers. This film does well with educating its audience about accepting themselves and others in many different aspects of life. The symbolism in this movie has had a very positive affect throughout my life and my coming of age transition.

The film Blackboard Jungle, written and directed by Richard Brooks, depicts the reality of the desegregated all male school, North Manual Trades High School. In this film Richard Dadier receives a job as a teacher and through the film he attempts to bring order and learning in to the classroom. The two main students in this film are Artie West and Gregory Miller. Artie West is white and is portrayed as the antagonist in the film because of his complete disregard of authority. In contrast, Miller is black and is initially defiant but in the end he agrees to Dadier terms.

What we see in the movie is not what we see in real life. So does Hollywood really represent every ethnicity and stereotypes that the majority of the viewers agrees with? Stereotype creates more harm than good because they can influence so many minds. Even though we might find it funny and laugh that their strong accents or their strange culture, traditions, many Americans believe that Asians have an easy face because they get the best jobs and cars, but even this is a stereotype because not all Asians are having the best jobs or cars. Some Asian have the same struggles that many other races, face living in America being whitewashed in Hollywood.

In Sociology, stereotypes are described as "pictures in our heads" that we do not acquire through personal experience. I believe that stereotypes are a mental tool that enforces racial segregation and self-hate. As well justification for dehumanizing minorities. Such as Black women are "Mammy", "Welfare Mothers", "Uneducated", " Inferior", and "Poor". White women are "Pure", "Desirable", "Affluent" and "Superior".

The Desegregation of American films. Untangling the truths behind not only the reality of segregation but the implications of it through various pop culture examples, has been a long time struggle. Martin Luther King Jr. was an inspirational public speaker who was not afraid to state his mind. During this time it was frowned upon to say your opinion if it was in opposition to segregation. Throughout various films, segregation is shown in a multitude of ways.

Planet of the Apes devotes with a great number of issues that come up in everyday society. If focusing very closely on the storyline, it is very easy to notice that; Planet of the Apes is not at all about Apes, but about mankind. The film exposes the reality of black and white society in those days, as it denoting the African-American by making them apes, and representing dominant species over the humans, mostly light-skinned humans (Caucasian) and making them slaves, hard labouring, imprisoning and not giving them freedom to live. This connotes the way African-American were being treated back in the day and how it has impact the society, and this still happens in nowadays.

Films made within the late 1980s/early 1990s (Menace II Society & Boyz n the Hood) attempted to illustrate the life of modern day African Americans through the celebration of violence, endorsement of mysoginistic masculinity, and the portrayal of women as being promiscuous, drug addicts, and irresponsible mothers(Giardina, 2005). A narrative that further supported the white middle class views of Blacks during this time. Though detrimental, this proved finically beneficial to Hollywood, just as Rap/Hip Hop albums was finically beneficial to the music industry (Giardina, 2005). They both gave a glimpse into what many believed to be authentic black culture. However as time passed this narrative was replaced with a more uplifting one, an attempt

What is an archetype character? Well the definition of archetype character is in literature, an archetype is a typical character, an action or a situation that seems to represent such universal patterns of human nature, an archetype, also known as universal symbol, may be a character, a theme, a symbol or even a setting. Well as it said on google so in my own definition i would define archetypal character in a hero's journey as someone who tries to save someone or acts as if the hero and that's just my understanding of it if I understood it well. While watching Guys and Dolls I thought I won’t be able to find a hero or someone who is even close to being the hero in the movie to write my pages for this assignment.

Technological advances like TV and computer has digitalized the modern world bringing with it a massive revolution in the media sector. Our life has always been encircled by media; from commercial to major business of entertainment. Due to their constant presence, they have large inspiration in every major aspect, specially, in the young generation life. During teenage years, a person is on course where they develop the skills of knowledge. One the most important entertainment company, Walt Disney, quoted, “I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.”

Disney 's Zootopia takes place in a fictional metropolis where animals are anthropomorphic and have all the human traits. Carnivores and herbivores live in peace and everything is dandy. Mostly because there are no humans. Humans tend to fuck everything up. On what kind of a diet are carnivores is never really explained, but I suspect they ate a lot of fish.
