American actor Anthony Mackie once said “There are a lot of limitations and stigmas that are placed on young actors, specifically young black actors.” You have probably seen black male actors play the leading role of a drug addict, drug dealer, abusive husband or a even a thief. Although they do get a chance to be displayed on the media, they more often than ever are represented or viewed as the antagonist. Why? Because they are set up according to certain limitations in which they must obey. The lack of accurate representation on black actors in the media today is the result of prejudice and racism occurring in society. Racism and prejudice which are demonstrated in the films directed by Spike Lee, Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever.

“Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all.”(Martin Luther King Jr.). Violence and racism are both important motifs in, Do the Right Thing (Lee, 1989).

The cancellation of the television series, Frequency, was premature and prevented it from fully blossoming into the hit it could have been. The series follows a young woman named Raimy Sullivan, a detective of the New York Police Department. Raimy and her father begin to communicate across time with a ham radio and alter the past. Because of this, problems arise that they must repair. The series, which aired on the CW, added some well deserved suspense that the film was lacking. The series also transitioned from a male leading role to a female, played by Peyton List. In the film Frequency, Frank Sullivan is portrayed as a firefighter, but in the series Frank is a detective much like his daughter. There was almost no romance in the film, but in the series it is a large part of Raimy’s life that she must fix due to changing the past. The series was an upgrade from the original film and should not have been cancelled as early as it did.

The Sweet Hereafter, directed by Atom Egoyan, is a film about the devastation caused by a bus crash in a small Canadian community that killed many of the town's children. Like many of Egoyan’s works, this film indicates his directorial style by using film techniques that place the audience in the characters shoes. Egoyan uses nonlinear timelines, motifs and music, along with his great use of camera work, mise en scene, and voice over, to present the plot in a way that engages the audience and leaves an impression long after the film has finished. A scene in the film that shows these techniques is the “Deposition Hearing Scene.” This scene is critical to the rest of the film because it helps the viewers understand Nicole’s character and how she feels towards her father. By having Nicole lie about the bus crash, Nicole is released from the abusive power of her father, Sam. In this scene, at first, Nicole seems vulnerable, but as the scene continues, the audience and character's views of her change.
