Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Analysis

After reading Dinner Party Economics, written by Eveline J. Admit and Richard G. Maranta, I find myself asking many questions. One of which is how Canada is doing with macroeconomics policy and the political debate. Today, March 2016, Canada is not doing its best job. With the current price of the Canadian Dollar, our economy is not in good shape. In the past year, the Canadian Dollar has taken a huge dive. With the rising costs of living, Canadians are finding it harder each year to afford basic needs for their families. Gas prices and fresh food at markets continue to rise to record levels. The unemployment rate in Canada also continues to rise. With less people working full time jobs, families are finding it very difficult to support a family

Imagine a coming across a once in a lifetime chance to try and change a person’s perspective by simply being yourself. Dinner at Beatriz is exactly a chance such as that, and engages an audience to not only consider the character’s actions, but also their own. The film premiered on the 16th of June 2017, and coupled with the polarizing politics of America’s government, it was an excellent time to produce such a movie. Directed by Miguel Arteta, best known for his production of Chuck and Buck and a few episodes of American Horror Story, Beatriz at Dinner is a film that is both impacting and current movie. Beatriz, played by Salma Hayek, is a lower-middle class immigrant from México who specializes in alternative medicinal healing. From little details, like the few bumper stickers on her car and the way she looks at others, one can tell that she cares a great deal for the environment and the human race. In the film she is called over to a higher class house to give a massage to a wealthy house wife, played by Cathy Briton. Her car breaks down and she is suddenly plummeted into an elitist world of corruption and selfishness, and the biggest conflict for Beatriz is to find the humanity inside Doug Strutt, played by John Lithgow.

The film focuses on African American historical events, with special concentration on the civil rights era. With the White House segments of the film starting in the oppressive Eisenhower years, it offers a presidential level insight into the historic freedom movements of the 1960’s, all the way through until the day that Barack Obama is elected president in 2008. I am going to argue that Daniels’ representation of history and race are much more than a ‘parody of historical drama’, as he defies the ‘conventional’ stereotypes of Hollywood (Martin 2013) through the focus on individual character depictions and rejection of generalisations seen previously in African American films.

In life, you never know if you can see the person you may see on the sidewalk or even across the stress. But, in all realities, that person may have a connection to your life. They can be your future spouse, boss, or the murder who may kill your loved ones. In the movie Crash, everyone has connected to each other in a different or common way. The film takes place in Los Angeles, where minorities are dealing with racial tensions while living in the city. The film broadcasts live of many individuals from different socio-economic classes, which they have life-changing experiences during challenges with prejudices and stereotypes. The film shows interpersonal communication which is “The ability to process and gain information between two or many people” (William 20). The film follows the lives of many resides of different races, social class, careers. The group main character in these groups is John Ryan and Tom Hasen who are Caucasian LAPD police officers. Cameron and Christine Thayer who are a young African American couple. Peter and Anthony who are young adults African- American car thief’s. Farhad who’s an Prussian business owner. Daniel who’s an Latin American locksmith. Lastly, Shaniqua Johnson who an African American administrator.

     Joanna Drayton returns unexpectedly from Hawaii to announce her engagement to an intelligent, accomplished, world traveling doctor. The only problem with the intended union is that he is African American and she is white. The Drayton’s come face to face with their own principles and realize that their daughter is the way they brought her up to be – non-prejudicial. Turmoil and anxiety ensue as Joanna insists that her parents give their approval by the end of the night. A dinner with both sets of parents follows, where the parents must come to terms with the bi-racial marriage. This film gives an insightful look into the realities of interracial marriage and proves to be useful in examining the

The purpose of this critique is to analyze the various aspects of a modern family through the film, “This is Where I Leave You”. Different components of marriage, families, and relationships will be explored to better understand the central theme of the movie.

The film “Guess who’s coming to dinner” surprised me. It was surprised me that a white girl and a black man would get married. It was surprising because in the 1960’s it wasn’t normal for a white and black person to get married. It surprised me that the mom was okay with their marriage so easily because I expected the mom to be like the dad and say no, but the mom was okay with her daughter marrying a black man because she knew it would make her happy. It stood out to me that Joanna didn’t care what her parents thought and told her parents that they were still going to get married even if they said no. It stood out to me that they were getting married so fast because I thought everything was happening really fast too just like their parents.

If I could host a dinner party and I could invite anyone. I would invite Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Huey P. Newton. Martin Luther King Jr. led the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and also in the 1960s Malcolm X was a national minister and spokesman of the Nation of Islam and Huey P. Newton led Black Panther Party in 1966 through 1987. I would invite these three men because they led different organizations to gain equal rights for African-Americans in the 1960s. They had different views on getting equal rights. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. believed in peaceful protesting and turning the other cheek but Malcolm X and Huey P. Newton believed by any means necessary that means they will do anything and everything to get equality. I would ask questions about how did they organization’s start and how they overcome all of the naysayers. I would serve roasted chicken and water served as a drink. We would talk about their deaths and did they felt they could have done more before they died. Also, we would talk about the current situations with African-Americans. I feel like we could use different tactics to get the job done. I think they will be upset how blacks are treated by society today. They probably thought after their deaths African Americans will be treated with more

In many of the stage managers addresses spoken directly to the audience, he offers observations about the nature of existence. One of those observations is that a life time passes by in a flash with key events punctuating life. At George and Emily’s wedding, he sums up the cycle of life that every young couple embarking on a life together will experience. This repetition of falling in love, marrying, and beginning a new family is timeless and universal, existing from ancient times to the twenty first century.

The movie ‘‘Pleasantville’’, written, produced and directed by Gary Ross, approaches a period in America’s history which subsequent generations idealise as a better and more stable society. He portrays this time period of the 1950s as a time when people and life were less complicated; a time when everyone knew their place in society. However, as the film ironically shows, this was a time when people were more ignorant, racist and most certainly sexist. Ross demolishes this illusion of the great 1950s American society by showing how its defects are gradually changed from black and white to colour. Ross shows that ‘change is inevitable’ once a catalyst for change is added to the ordered life of “Pleasantville”. Once David and Mary-Sue begin

The theme of love is also shown. James Farmer Jr., 14 year old boy, seizes to hide that he like Samantha, aspiring female lawyer, but sadly for Jr. Samantha likes Henry,the other debater. After constant rejection,including Samantha sleeping with Henry, Jr. gets frustrated and get into an argument with Samantha following Professor Melvin Tolson’s arrest. However, the role shifts, and Jr. becomes angry at Henry because he cheated on her. Thus, we can see the shift of both the themes racial discrimination and love.

Alexander Payne’s The Descendants is an excellent example of the cinema truth approach. In 1950s and 1960s, many filmmakers began to use portable cameras and synchronized-sound recording equipment to capture spontaneous activity in a wide variety of situations. Some filmmakers claimed that cinema truth was more objective than traditional documentary. Alexander Payne is known for the best director for directing American dramatic movies.

Certain stereotypes have stood the test of time, no matter how many strides for racial equality have been made. Sandra Bullock’s character made the statement about the relationship between white and black people: “If a white woman sees two black men walking
