Similarities Between Deadly Unna And Bran Nue Dae

As we were watching this film I could tell that there were many messages that the director wanted the audience to gain from this movie. One of the messages I got from this movie is that every single person is extremely similar however racial issues hold us back from discovering that. I believe the director wanted viewers to realize that stereotypes and discrimination keeps us from learning about one another. With the way things came

"Deadly Unna" is the story of Garry Blacks realization of racism and discrimination in the port where he lives. When everyone else seems do nothing to prevent the discrimination Blacky a young boy steps up to the plate and has the guts to say no against racism towards the local Aborigines. Blacky is beginning to realize that the people he looks up to as role models might not be such good examples as most of them including his father his footy coach and even the pub custodian all accept racism as a normal way of life and Blacky begins to realize this and tries to make them aware.

According to Henslin, racism is “prejudice and discrimination on the basis of race.” Racism is woven throughout the documentary of Lafeyette and Pharoah’s lives at the Horner Homes. All of the African Americans living in inner-city Chicago are looked down upon by the whites every day. The whites pay no attention to the existence of the lives of these people. The gangs run the streets of the inner-city

In this article, it talks greatly about what nouvelle racism is and how it is being demonstrated in society today through movies. Nouvelle racism is a form of racism that is different from racism that is generally used in conversation in the past and today. This kind of racism does not include throwing around nasty words, however it is more of a nonverbal way of conveying the same rude message. In the movie The Day Time Ended, there is an all white cast along with five Asians who are on a tropical island that is threatened by a volcano that is becoming active. The movie blends together three elements of nouvelle racism that aim to discriminate the Asian cast members. The first element they used in the movie was doing whatever it took to make

“ Some of these early productions have racial themes which reorganize the world in such a way that black heritage is rewarded over white paternity; they are schematic renunciations of the prevailing order of things in white American society where, historically, the discovery of black blood meant sudden reversal of fortune, social exclusion, or banishment.” (Gaines, P.3) Within the movie the amount of mistruths about African Americans was sad. Within the movie you notice that the blacks were always or seem to be yelling, acting uncivilized and doing

The motion picture begins with a riot after a white storeowner slaughters a dark young person. This episode underscores the

An example of racism occurred at the beginning of the film when the Arab looking father and daughter attempted to buy a gun. The clerk at the gun shop made a few blatantly racist comments about the customers because he assumes they are Middle Eastern. There were several references to the September 11 attacks. It didn’t matter that the two were Persian, not Arab. Unfortunately, the reoccurring theme post 9/11 is that all Middle Eastern people became potential terrorists. It is amazing that people have the ability to interpret bad events and cast their own prejudices on different ethnic groups to mask their own feelings of anger and frustration.

In another event, some racist white boys attack and hit Odessa’s daughter and son for having darker skin and being ‘idiot coons.’ This is one of many examples of racism being a factor. The ultimate clash of the subordinate (whites) and insubordinate (African-Americans) groups comes at end of the film with the mob seen at the carpool lot. This shows racism, discrimination and stereotyping all in one. It is amazing to me to see both how far and how little we have come as a society.

In addition, Aboriginals have been discriminated against and seen as beneath Europeans throughout Australian history; the use of film codes throughout the movie aid in displaying this social construct. This stereotype has been perpetuated in Bran Nue Dae as Aboriginals have been portrayed as homeless, alcoholics and thieves – traits commonly associated with individuals of low socio-economic class. Technical codes such as high angle shots of Benedictus looking down on Willie positions the audience to perceive Indigenous Australians as inferior and subordinate to Catholics; maintaining the theme seen throughout history that Indigenous Australians are lower class citizens. Furthermore, technical codes found in the scene where Willie first meets

The novel ‘Deadly, Unna?’ and the movie ‘Australian Rules’ by Phillip Gwynne are based on racism. The main characters in the novel and film are Gary Black who is white and Dumby Red who is Black. They become friends while playing football for Port, where Blacky live but Dumby has to travel as he lives in Point an Aboriginal Mission. There is a lot of conflict in the book and movie through racism, from both Point people (Nunga’s) and Port people (Goonya’s).

Both black couples of the story, Francine and Albert as well as Lena and Kevin both have surprisingly opinionated feelings towards the white community. What began as friendly terms later change to agitated and tense. Because when the white characters in the act attempt to involve Albert and Francine, they are all surprised to learn that Francine believes them all to be ridiculous. She enjoys the same foods as the rest

“Dear White People”, as some may say; like many of Spark Lee movies, it is the first film in recent years to actually confront black identities and the many stereotype that are impose on the ones black or the black culture in general with a little satire humor to it. This film is very import because it scrutinizes the scale of racism that still exists in this country, from the overtly from to the more subtle one’s that people seem to call innocence or macroaggressions. One of the problems I have after watching the movie “Dear White People” is the fact that it seems to focus on the on more obvious racism, when what we are facing now in our society are what some may call unintentional or unintended forms of racism. As we all see whenever

When we try to understand why the characters act as they act and what drives each of them, the viewers are inevitably drawn to the conclusion that they are just like them. They realize they are human; they have both good qualities and bad qualities. Spike Lee also makes them understand that at times they may make terrible mistakes, and that at other times they may display admirable heroism, and that sometimes they simply act without knowing why. Spike Lee does more than try to show his viewers that despite tensions, this Black neighborhood is a community. What Lee does is he makes the viewers think. He simply presents events as they are leaving the viewer to figure out the motives of the characters and the ‘why’ behind the course of events. Lee doesn’t really put a positive light on any particular race while shadowing the other ones. He doesn’t try to make conflicts have an obvious solution. Lee simply re-creates a piece of life, with a little twist of extreme (yet realistic) drama for deeper effect, and by doing this he tries to simply make his audience think and question.

The majority of the racism involved in the movie is towards the negro population. They are perceived as thugs, thieves and
