The Bronze Screen Film Analysis

Reports show that Latinos are the most underrepresented ethnic group in film affected by stereotypical issues shown via pictures in our heads and through watching. I concur with this information as stereotype starts from a personal level, which is definite through meditation, this does not include all the negative traits portrayed by the out-group. Although we have some general stereotypical agreements within in-groups that cannot change. This stereotyping is evident in a case where a foreigner defines Bandido accurately while a (North) American will involve them with laziness, being dirty and all sorts of negativity on them. These findings make me feel that Latinos and Americans will always be contrary to their film industry.

The 1996 film of The Crucible is a historical drama inspired by the Salem witchcraft trials. The film has won a multitude of cinematic achievements and continuously blows audience members away with the accuracy of the historical events and portrayal of the characters by the actors and actresses. The profound work of Arthur Miller is also expressed within the written play of The Crucible. However, the film did the best job of portraying characters that were both historically accurate and believable to an audience member. One main character from The Crucible that is both historically accurate and extremely believable in the film is Abigail Williams. Winona Ryder, the actress of Abigail Williams, did an impeccable job portraying her character and became widely known for her work through several achievements and film reviews. The recognition that she and the rest of the cast received due to the characterization in this cinematic production is what made the film do the best job of portraying characters as historically accurate and believable to an audience member instead of the written play. Although the written play describes the actions and thoughts of the characters very precisely, the film did the best job of portraying characters as historically accurate and believable to an audience member through the achievements and film reviews received from actors and actresses such as Winona Ryder, the recognition the cast as a whole earned, and the actions and emotions the actors and

An addition, ethnic stereotypes vary when it comes to how Hispanics live, Ritchie wasn’t the only one in the film who faced the issues. It’s been said that Mexican woman often betray their spouses with someone in the family or that Mexican woman become their husband’s slaves, and that their looking for an easy way to get knocked up and trap a man. It has also been said that Latino men are known to be “rapist’ and woman beaters. Many times, Mexicans have been called many insults and have been stereotyped. Often, we hear these stereotypes, but we don’t even know where they originated.

In the essay “Getting Down To What Is Really Real,” John Jeremiah Sullivan discusses the reality TV show “The Real World”. In his essay, Sullivan gives us an inside experience with the main stars of the show in order to give us a glimpse of what their real lives are like. He argues, “the single most interesting thing about reality TV, is the way it has successfully appropriated reality”(Sullivan 97). Similarly, Hispanic culture has been portrayed stereotypically in TV shows and films throughout the years. Latino characters on TV mostly take roles of maids, thugs and Latin lovers who have a heavy accent and immigration problems (Nittle). Movies like Maid In Manhattan and A Day Without A Mexican have represented these stereotypes quite clearly, and that sadly reflects how people see them. However, most recently, the TV show Jane The Virgin is applying a more complex and realistic depiction of Hispanic characters by breaking these stereotypes.

According to the movie The Bronze Screen, I understand that the Spanish people started acting in US cinema and specifically in Hollywood from early 20th century. The Spanish cinema started with black and while movie. At the first they act with just Spanish representative, because they want control the American cinema and precisely Hollywood. The Spanish movie was in the first representation without the voice. After that they added the voice. The Mexican movies was increased in Hollywood cinemas because American people like it. However the Mexican actor was good with acting. Hollywood films was increased their Mexican market after the Spanish people participated in the American cinema. Also the people who watching Spanish movies was increased. After that Hollywood America has introduced representatives of the participating representatives Spanish and this was new to the world of cinema reserve America and some people surprise of the piece. Also this changed the way of the Hollywood cinemas also came a new world of movies and actors that is good for the Hollywood cinemas. To conclude that I thing the Spanish movies is good before and now because it give new ideas for movies and the new world of cinema, also a new color for All cinemas.

As seen throughout history, the ideology of race has affected numerous racial groups. While race itself is a social construct, the direct impact these racial groups suffer through is not fraudulent. By giving negative perceptions on how a certain group should act, race has given us the excuse of discrimination, prejudice, and racism. In the context of Latinos, the common characteristics a Latino has are dirty, lazy, and illegal. With race having a strong role in our everyday lives, those who are not familiar with Latinos are likely to believe these allegations.

Accordingly in chapter one of “Latino Images in Film: Stereotypes, Subversion, and Resistance” Berg, discusses the action of stereotyping, which consist of category making, ethnocentrism, and prejudice. “For most of us, stereotyping is the act of making judgments and assigning negative qualities to other individuals or groups.” The bandido stereotype is a very common mental image that most people think of when thinking of a Mexican man, a dirty looking cowboy with a big sombrero. Still, even though there is some truth to the stereotypical bandido image, because violence was a part of their lives, most of them did not dress the way they did because they were bandits, but because “they were rebel soldiers who fought in Mexico’s Revolutionary War of 1910-1920.”

In the New York Times article “Media Feed Bias Against Latinos,” Luisita Lopez Torregrosa states in her findings that many non-Hispanics “mistakenly believe that half or more of the nation’s 50 million Hispanics are illegal immigrants,” and that they are depicted in the media “largely as maids, gardeners, dropouts, and criminals.” In response to the general public thinking that there are over 50 million illegal immigrants, Torregrosa explains that the United States actually has an estimated 10 million illegal Mexican/Central American immigrants from a 2012 study. The depiction in the media is definitely real concerning how Mexican’s are depicted in films, as the roles that the, now deceased, actress Lupe Ontiveros played in several movies, confirms. An article from The New York Times, titled “Trying to Get Beyond the Role of the Maid; Hispanic Actors Are Seen as Underrepresented, With the Exception of One Part” by housing reporter Mireya Navarro, details the roles Ontiveros had to play in the American media, which included over 150 maid roles. Ontiveros even noticed how much of a problem this is, stating that “‘It’s their continued perspective of who we are’...‘[The media doesn’t] know we’re very much a part of this country, and that we make up every part of this country.’” While this isn’t a particular negative light in criminal terms, it is still a misrepresentation of what Mexicans do for the nation. Ontiveros also mentioned that whenever she went to a

In a diverse society, America is home to many types of people, whose beliefs and experiences may arise conflict among the races. To diminish discrimination and show that there is a connection that unites each and every individual, films offer a different perspective of the lives of whom may be misunderstood and enable audiences to discover that others live under similar circumstances as themselves. How might the depiction of 21st century Latino immigrants be compared to that of 19th century southern slaves in feature films? Time nor race is a boundary that can stop two groups from relating to each other, such is the case with African-American slaves and today’s immigrants in the U.S. Like slaves, most immigrants work for a low wage in plantations, both these two group’s motives are also similar: the struggle for freedom. One

Or, where Nick Najers point out in The Hollywood Lens on Latinos is Out of Focus, “Society pays the price for the drumbeat of negative stereotypes that are shaping our everyday lives and building mistrust…The media and Hollywood writers are fostering anti-Latino sentiments when they write about Latinos from an un-informed point of view. They only add fuel to the fire by promoting stereotypes, as was the case with ABC’s sitcom Work It where the Puerto Rican character actually had the line, “I’m Puerto Rican, I’d be great at selling drugs.”

Films have the power to both influence and reflect society. The stereotypes prevalent throughout American culture are reflected in most films. While the United States is becoming an increasingly diverse country, this diversity is not portrayed within American cinema. Minority figures often occupy

The most that struck me about the myth of the Latinos was stereotypes and how these cause prejudice against this people. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary define stereotypes as “to believe unfairly that people or things with a particular characteristic are the same”. As we all know we live in a society full of stereotypes about Latinos, because they are mostly seen as vulgar, uneducated and very sensual individuals. Latinos are commonly rejected and criticized, in other countries like United States. I disagree with the stereotypes about Latinos, because stereotypes are absurd generalizations created mostly by the media, it creates prejudices and discrimination, and also leads to pessimism and devaluation of culture.

“Oscars So White” a phrase that began trending on social media sites after the 2016 Academy Awards announce their nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress, it was predominately white for a second year in a row. The movie industry is no stranger to controversy and since its inception it’s constantly been guilty of underrepresenting ethnic people. It’s evident that film is a type of mass media that has a certifiable amount of power to influence audience’s views, yet this platform constantly disregards the need for diversity in favor of stereotypes. Movies such as Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Scarface (1983), and Pan (2015) are all guilty of this. The depiction of non-American characters in Hollywood movies are constructed around racial

The Latino and Hispanic population continues to increase at a lower rate every year in the U.S., they account for a large portion of the population. However, it hasn’t change the portrayal of Latinos in the media. Often, the Latino community is shown in a negative light that doesn’t represent the reality of this community. The main goal of this paper is to show and understand how the media portray Latinos and ways to solve the problem.

This photo is a representation of the various stereotypes surrounding Latinos, and the way Hollywood exploits them for entertainment. The various Latinos in the spotlight all have different labels on them, all a representation of the ways people judge Latinos, based upon false stereotypes. The gunman or cop, the woman with an attractive accent, even the illegal immigrant, Hollywood has used these stereotypes to their advantage, thus influencing the way Latinos are seen in America. The people in the crowd symbolize all of America; every person who sees, and believes, the lies Hollywood tells them, and the idea that all Latinos can be sorted into a couple of categories, that they are simply people. Americans trust in the media, in what they
