The animated classical Disney movie Aladdin has became one of the most successful movies since it was released in 1992. This movie may seem to be fairy-tale based and entertaining for children since they are the main target audience of Disney, but with a deeper look into its details this is not the reality of it. The ideas that children are exposed to from watching this movie help create and structure their mindsets as well as reinforcing unrealistic images of the Arabian world. In addition, Aladdin is a great illustrative tool in reflecting the concept of Orientalism, a term coined by Edward Said, which emphasizes on representing the Orient with certain clichés and characteristics that are misleading about the true nature of reality (Said, 1978). With that been said, this review paper will be focusing on the main characters and the way they are

Disney’s Aladdin is a fit example of misrepresentation of diverse cultures from a Westernized perspective. Disney is famous for lending representations of world from a Western viewpoint.

Said’s explains orientalism is the framework that we use to

‘Journey to the West’ is a self-portrait of Abdul himself, wearing a ‘monkey mask’. He is places slightly off centre in a stage set in traditional lavish Muslim wedding style. Abdul created these work to highlight this treatment of Muslims in his town, but also communities all across Australia.

The staging of the background references weddings as part of his religious background but

The 1997 comedy film, ‘The Castle’, directed by Rob Sitch, is a classic Australian film which pits the underdog individual against a large corporation. The low-budget film follows the fight of tight-knit working class family, the Kerrigans, who face the forced acquisition of their modest home by a government organisation. It can be clearly seen that the director has positioned audiences to see the Kerrigans as praiseworthy characters. This is shown through the narrative elements, stylistic features, and constructedness of the plot.

East Is East is about cultural differences and the difficulties of combining religious beliefs and culture. It's also about the dangers of losing one's identity in association with their homes. But the resonating theme of East Is East is family dynamics, and how children unavoidably rebel against their parents' traditions and beliefs. As the film has it, family is the cause, and eventual solution facing the Khan children. The themes of East Is East have widespread appeal to its audience without necessarily being an immigrant for the film to work. The audience participates in the universal feelings of the film with the enduring effects childhood and family leave on us; we immediately grasp the core of the film.

Although, I don’t get to watch movies often, especially the movies between late 1800s and early 1900’s, the movie Way Down East by D.W. Griffith was a movie I truly enjoyed. This is one of the silent movies that doesn’t only serves the purpose of entertainment, but teaches various lessons by various points. More importantly, this movie emphasized the value of the women, even the main character of the movie is a woman name Anna.
