The Color Purple film, directed by Steven Spielberg, who adapted it from Alice Walker, stars Celie Harris Johnson, who ever since she was a fourteen year old girl, she has had to endure rape, sexism, loss of her children, tyrannical husband, domestic violence, loss of her sister, and demoralization of her friend, Sofia, who lost her freedom to the law. The movie centers around the early 20th century, and at that time racism was very common, even among African-Americans. Celie suffered from mistreatment
that it has had in America as the people of color are not only being included within the storyline, but are the heroes of the entire film. Furthermore, the film Dope presents Malcom and his group of friends as outcasts, not because they are people of color, but instead because they are people of color who act “white.” However, throughout the film Malcom and his friends find themselves becoming more and more included in society. In the beginning of the film, Dom the neighborhood drug dealer asks Malcom

musical film. No holiday elements were involved except for the fact that mystery tours would have been a popular way to spend a bank holiday like Boxing Day. The final performance, “Your Mother Should Know,” even essentially poked fun at the theatrical, over-the-top performances typically aired at that time of year. While the reaction was certainly negative, it actually supported Kenneth Adam’s earlier findings in that viewers were more annoyed by the dull and obscure elements of the film rather than
opens with a dystopian science fiction episode ‘Nosedive’. From (“Critical Essays”), I learned that in a dystopian setting, the focus of the film is usually not on the technology itself but rather on the psychology and emotions of the characters that live under such conditions and circumstances. My evaluation of the episode is on how the dystopian genre, colors, and soundtrack of the episode were able to relay the message of the story to the audience. Here’s a brief overview of the episode.

Celie expounds on the wretchedness of youth familial lust, physical misuse, and
The overall quality of the film was matching in expectations, which were substantial. These personal expectations were based on the exceptional and unique cast, and the particular time in which this film was first introduced, given that there’s still much to be said and done in the name of black culture that not only looks back into the obscure past and present of slavery and racism, but also empowers black culture in its own right. On one hand, the writing flowed from scene to scene, taking the
this issue that hasn’t been paid enough attention until recently, despite the ironic fact that their work is often seen by a large part of the country, is the entertainment industry. This industry has lacked proportional representation of people of color for a long time, and since Hollywood is so inclusive, this issue has perpetuated up until today. While much research has focused on lack of diversity in general, this paper will focus on issues facing Asians in the industry specifically. Some argue
With the rise of globalization over the passing years, western media, specifically American and European film, television, and publications, have been able to reach a worldwide audience and influence smaller countries. As one of these countries, the Philippine entertainment industry has since then morphed into an institution where Caucasian beauty is presented as “ideal.” This could be seen as problematic by failing to represent the Filipino norm of brown skin and opting instead to feature fair-skinned
