Cultural Violence In Warner Bros Posters

The film, Reel Injun reveals a distortion of the way Hollywood sees Native American life through comedy and the real way Native Americans live which changes according to the current times. Neil Diamond sets out on a journey across America to figure out where the incorrect image of Natives arose from, all signs pointing towards Hollywood. Dozens of films recreate the way Americans believe Natives live as savages and wear costumes and decorated headpieces with feathers, but Hollywood does not show the true spiritual side and the meaning of why they live the way they do as true to their own culture and assimilated to the American culture as well. US history negatively affects Native American live which lead to the image of Natives to be clouded by imagination through film, changed the way Natives viewed themselves and expect to live, and misshaped the view we now have for Natives.

However, the movie portrayed an inaccurate portrayal of the

In his essay, “A Pedagogical Response to The Aurora Shootings” (235) Henry Jenkins analyzes shocking events involving public shootings in society. His main objective is to discuss why violence is a prominent factor in our popular culture and how the media inflames the issue. Jenkins does pose his belief that violence should be critically debated in order to research the main cause of violence within people. He also states that people must step out of the “media effects” assumption of violence and expands the scale to the meaning of what violence represents in movies and books. Jenkin states, “To be extra clear, I do not think media is where this debate should be focused” (236).

The goal of the 415 BCE play, The Trojan Women was to discourage war in the ancient Mediterranean world. The play showed the hardships that came with war in an attempt to end violent conflict. The same can be said about the 1971 film. The cinematized version of the play was released amidst the peak of Vietnam protest and aimed to show, yet again, the consequences of war. The film is one of the more interesting war films because its main characters are not the soldiers, but the people affected by the loss that war brought them.

‘Dances with the wolves’ is a 1990 American epic western movie that defied norms in Hollywood, revitalized the western genre in filmmaking, challenged and changed the perception of viewers toward native Americans. The movie significantly impacted social, cultural, historical aspects of society. Native American are rarely screened in Hollywood and when they do, they are demonized as the blood thirsty savages and bad guys. According to Beverly R. Singer, "Despite the fact that a diversity of indigenous peoples had a legal and historical significance in the formation of every new country founded in the western hemisphere, in the United States and Canada the term 'Indians' became a hegemonic designation implying that they were all the same in regard to culture, behavior, language, and social organization. The view of 'Indians' as savage and uncivilized was repeated in early films and crystallized the image of 'Indians' as dangerous and unacceptable to the normative lives of European

I have decided to uncover the how race is involved in the casting process in Hollywood movies and production companies. The underlying issue of race has affected fans of movie franchises and has left a mark on job discrimination. Minority groups in the field of film have not gotten the recognition needed. There needs to be available opportunities for actors of minority. Hollywood has gained negative criticism on the lack of diversity not only in casting but recently on the Academy Awards stage.

If blacks appeared in any film, it was in the role of servant, mammy, or doorman, and these roles were neither accessible nor essential for this film’s narrative. This lack of lead roles served as a way of preventing audiences from noticing how people of color were treated in American society. With Scarface, we see that the editing of dark images acts to convey a realistic and gritty story of criminal rise and fall, as a mediated documentary that ends with the press of Hollywood re imagination to convey a moral. When it came to editing in 1939 there were rules for how you would edit your films to fit Hollywood standards and the Hays application of censorship. When we see film as an exhibition of our history With Movie and film history have historical studies that have swayed the audience.

Movies such as White Chicks and The Hateful Eight prove this as they both characterize African American men careless and ruthless. It 's is becoming more common for racism to be acceptable in both film and television, especially in the form of adult comedic programming. Family Guy is a prime example, as it commonly uses racism as a source of comedy by stereotyping minority races such as Hispanics and African Americans; overall depicting them in a negative way. In modern society, it can even be viewed as an industry standard for adult comedy media to include racism in their programming. “I believe that the majority of Americans have moved beyond being punch lines in sick ethnic jokes.

Within the film of The Gold Rush, Arnheim’s theoretical approaches are presented in the film. Even though these approaches possess positive qualities that enhance the experience of viewing film, there are elements of such approaches that hinder the experience of spectators screening the film. In Film Art, Arnheim has voiced displeasure towards the usage of sound. “These people regard the introduction of sound as an improvement or completion of silent film.

Many Indians fought to preventing the government from invading their sovereign land and resisted being force onto reservation. Both Flight and Selma used vivid imagery to show the violence of the oppressor. Alexie’s Flight was full of vivid brutal imagery that helps the reader understand the violent to which the native people up against. Zits, the narrator in Flight mysteriously transported back to 1970s in the body of FBI agent named Hank Storm. When he witnesses one of the agent describing the Native Americans as “The asshole of America” (Alexie 46).

I think that is really smart of Spike Lee to not suggest who exactly did the right or wrong thing. I think it is important to leave it up to the viewer to interpret. For instance at the end of the movie Smiley stands over the burnt down “Wall of Fame” in Sal’s Pizzeria and pins a Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr pictures on the wall who both tackled racism in different ways. King chose nonviolence as seen through his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, “Nonviolent direct action

On the social side, the slaves were freed but not accepted at all into society, as “...one negro counted as three-fifths of a man” (Doc 130, p 310). On the economic side, the loss of slaves was a shock to the economy; so was the war itself since it was fought mainly on Southern

Even after the Reconstruction era, African Americans did not have equality because they were in as much physical danger as they were as slaves. They were unfairly treated and physically harmed. African Americans did not have the power or the means to stand up for them and to fight for their legal rights. Susie Taylor King, an African American who lived in 1902, spoke about how the white race was allowed to inflict torture on the black race. Although African Americans were no longer enslaved, they were still in great danger; they were being tortured, burned, and murdered.

One of the more obvious changes is the absence of Brick’s possible homosexual relationship with Skipper. Because of the Motion Picture Production Code, these references had to be taken out of the movie. In the book it is alluded to Brick and Skipper having something more than a friendship. Maggie calls Brick out on this when she says, “You two had
