Analysis Of The Film Cache ( French For Hidden And Racial Issues Between The Colonizer And The Colonized Through The Psychoanalysis

French wants to draw attention to the harrowing nature of Hitler’s ideas. We are then forced to contemplate and question the dramatic pause and about how these prejudicial ideas impacted upon the lives of the Jewish people.

The 1987 film documentary Ethnic Notions directed by Marlon Riggs, identifies the evolution of African American cultural depictions through ethnic stereotypes and caricatures in American culture. I feel Ethnic Notions exposes the roots of false generalization from the beginning and presents a series of classifications for racial depictions that still are noticeable in today's society. These racial depictions identified with in this film begin in the mid 1800's and continue thought to the 1960's. I now after viewing Ethnic notions agree that there are generalizations and depictions that are exaggerated in American popular culture and entertainment.

Hotel Rwanda is a tragic movie that puts a face on the conflict that was largely ignored by the western world. It graphically shows the results of various conflicts and the results of racial prejudice caused by historical actions. It also demonstrates that racism can occur outside the ‘normal’ black white conflicts. Hotel Rwanda falls short when giving an in-depth explanation of the causes of the war. However, a little research and critical reading bring a greater understanding of the film and the suffering of

The film is the story of Mona, who is an African-American woman who is brought back to Africa and finds herself as a slave on the Lafayette sugarcane plantation (Gerima, 1993). In a previous life, she was born on the sugar farm and named Shola. She was caught and sold and transported as a slave in North America. This brings the interplay between the African American identity on one side and the other African identity. The film achieves this through reconstructing the past and history and also through the conception of blackness and race.

The film “The Englishman’s boy” is a screen adaptation of Guy Vanderhaeghe’s book of the same name. Vanderhaeghe also wrote the screenplay for the film. The book was based on the true story of the Cypress Hills massacre in 1873. I will provide a summary of the film’s most important plot points, characters and background information. The movie covers the horrors that were witnessed in Cypress Hills and shows the inhumane way Native Americans have been treated since colonization, in 1873 and through to the 1920s. The movie explains how white men were hearkened as heroes for committing these atrocities which were largely excused because society at that time viewed natives as inhuman and therefore undeserving of human rights. The film was set with a background in both 1873 pioneer plains and 1920s Hollywood. This method was used to show a dualism within the two eras and that negative attitudes towards Native Americans had not been corrected as they should have been but only muffled. I will compare the film and its accuracy to the actual Cypress Hills massacre and determine what dramatics were used to make a point within the direction of the movie. This film and the subsequent essay is relevant to this class because I believe that even though the crimes committed against native Americans are less obviously racist, violent and vulgar today, there is still a derogatory indifference towards them and their cries for equality.

The renowned film ‘Au revoir les enfants’ directed by Louis Malle shows the lives of boys in a boarding school that is run by priests. Three new students (including Bonnet) arrive whom at first appear to be like Julien (the protagonist) and the rest of the boys. However, it is soon revealed that they are Jewish children who are kept hidden by the staff at the school – especially when there are raids from the German occupiers. The use of character development is prominently used to convey the historic background that is World war two. Julien, who is one the of main protagonists represents the director (Louis Malle) at the Catholic boarding school in France. This choice of character gives the viewers the closest representation of what occurred in the Second world war even though it is depicted through a film that contains fiction.

The unlawful nature between both races runs it s course, to lead a fragile impact, which is mainly highlighted through the film and

The media’s representation on ethical/racial and colonial illustration is not always accurate; there are many stereotypes and critics always find something to be false. Realism also plays a big role in representing in what critics believe. (Shothat 178)

As this film represents a microcosm of the injustices of the real world, Forman zooms in on characters during critical scenes of the movie to highlight the character’s message. The

The use of various camera techniques such as canted frames, low-angled, high-angled and close up shots, as well as camera distance, enhances the struggle between the characters. The use of such techniques not only allows the audience to get an extensive insight into the many different characters, but also helps us understand the relationships between them and how all of these factors contribute to the overarching theme of racism in the film. The use of these camera rapid movements

We can interpret this movie through a societal lens. When we do this we can read the director's message about the dangers of xenophobia. The film when viewed this way makes the audience take a step back and think about how they and their society treats refugees. This film takes real world refugee issues and puts them at the forefront of the readers view.

This essay is based on films of the same story, told in different ways, with emphasis, themes, meaning and interpretation shaped or shaded by the situation of the storyteller; the cinematic mise-en-scene. Based on the same story, the films reveal and reflect the film-maker’s social norms and views, emerging from their different national contexts. While exploring the two films, this essay will examine elements of film language or semiotics: color saturation (or black and white), sound, setting, type of camera angles used; repetition of visual motifs (Metz, 1985). The two films explored were made in the 1960s. Neither film is American, yet both reveal influences and reflections on American cinema and American power; the Western film, adherence or detracting from Hollywood Classical cinema tropes, i.e. close-ups, shot-reverse-shot, POV, depth of field (Bazin, 1985: 128-9). The two films are Kurasawa’s Yojimbo (1961) and Leone’s Fistful of Dollars (1964), from Japan and Italy, respectively. How are they different; how similar? Why do they use the same plot,

The film grants audiences to gestate their understanding of the movie and the manner experiences antiquated regarding racial violence and prejudice. The ineptitude of history implies to the intellectual chattels that chronicles and culture can have on all progeny. Malcolm Little would ultimately revolutionize into his worst adversary, that entangled with the decisions he would subsequently make. Malcolm's philosophic mentality and provocation with death was indicative to his life. The remarkable depiction in the film pronounced the indubitable fortitude and essence of the audience.

[1] Before I start this essay, I feel the need to remind the reader that I find slavery in all its forms to be an oppressive and terrible institution, and I firmly believe that for centuries (including this one) bigotry is one of the most terrible stains on our civilization. The views I intend to express in the following essay are in no way meant to condone the practices of slavery or racism; they are meant only to evaluate and interpret the construction of slavery in film.

Steve McQueen’s film 12 Years a Slave (2013) tells us about a man’s fight for survival, equality and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York was kidnapped and sold to slavery accidently. During his slavery time, Solomon eye witnessed numerous acts of cruelty but still tried to survive and retain his dignity. This essay will analyse a sequence from the film which shows Solomon attempted to run away on his way to the grocery store but encountered some white slave owners lynching their black slaves who failed to escape, and this essay will also explain how mise-en-scène and cinematography used in this sequence to reflect the themes of the film.
