Film: The Role Of African Americans In Film
African Americans have a unique history with motion pictures one that many people would find racist and wrong. The first time an African American was put in a film they were portrayed as individual that was inferior to the rest of the cast. Now African Americans have leading roles in films that have won academy awards. The type of roles that are played by African Americans have drastically changed for the better. It wasn’t for them to earn respect in the film industry, rather it was a long and agonizing process one that required folks to change their ideologies. It is different now to when all the films about this race had a prejudicial feel to it. Racism in the film industry was at its peak during 1900-1970. There was two ways where blacks

    School Daze Spike Lee Analysis

    It’s crazy that this movie had came out the year I was born and I still can say that that is still how black people act in our community. Light skinned and long hair is still looked upon as more beautiful then dark skinned and kinky hair. It is even in our rap lyrics today. In Lil Wayne ‘Right Above It’ lyrics he states, “Uh, how do he say what’s never said? Beautiful black woman, I bet that bitch look better red.” Spike Lee was trying to show black people that we need to stop with all of this bias hatred amongst each other because we all are still Black people and you do not hear white people hating or thinking they are better then one another by their complexions and their hair…

    Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Film Analysis

    The subject of African-Americans in Motion Pictures provides some of the most interesting studies along with the many controversial interpretations of the roles as actors they played on screen. As far back as the silent films era, African-Americans have been featured in motion pictures playing roles depicting some aspect of acting and being purveyors of a black image. The messages or themes of these movies have over the years presented a mixture of images based upon what was thought to please the viewers of each particular film. Unfortunately, many of those films showed black characters in negative stereotypical roles, which the average African-Americans would never truly identify as being like themselves. Since many of our…

    African American Culture In The 1950's

    African-American presence was minimal on TV shows after 1953 was largely demeaning in the roles available in radio drama. But radio drama on the other hand offered wider possibilities for black stations like WDIA that began in 1947 in Memphis. Numerous stations devoted time to black radio in the 1950s and it became difficult to distinguish the colour of the musicians they were listening to as racial styles began to blur, which was an added advantage. This compelled Susan Douglas to call 1950s radio a “trading zone” between white and black culture revealing as much “about the emptiness and forced conformity of white culture as it did “about the new ambitions of blacks” (223). Folk music, jazz and rock ‘n’roll defined the period. Folk and jazz, the older forms underwent transitions postwar. Rock ‘n’ roll, a new trend emerged out of rhythm and blues, a strain of black music often called ‘race music’ in 1940s, which later became sound of the 1950s. Second half of the decade, particularly between 1956 and 1958,was ruled by Commercial imperatives and major labels. Creative musical energies were in full flow, not repeated until…

    Goodbye Uncle Tom and Abortion

    In the movie, it showed women being raped and then tossed as if they were just animals. The men in that film abused the women to the point where they believed that they were nothing more than just tools for men to get their pleasure and nothing more. The ones that weren’t killed ended up having kids that only reminded them of the pain they had to endure which made them feel worse. The mentality that they are just tools for men to get pleasure ended up being passed down to black females today as well. Some of them only feel valued when they dress a certain type of way to obtain a guys attention and affection.…

    Stereotypes In Moonlight And Freedom Writers

    Black cinema over the past years has been undermined and limited to certain expectations. In most films directors fail to produce realistic scenarios that the audience can relate to. Hollywood directors, instead of capturing the true essence of what it is to be Black, demonstrate what they believe the audience will be most interested in. They favor entertainment and amusement resulting in degrading stereotypes that promote racism and homophobic attitudes. Independent Black films seem to be more capable of depicting a more accurate and honest portrayal of the Black experience. Films made from the perspective of African Americans also has a significant influence on how the film is made and its various features. An example of a Black independent film is Moonlight.…

    Films that depict violence against African Americans during the years of slavery have become very popular over the last five years. The popularity of theses film come from the constant brutality from the police and school shootings. As a viewer, of the previous historical films about slavery, overall the plots have become very repetitive in the recent remaking of the historical struggle for African Americans.

    Uncle Ben

    Even though as a population, we have progressed and have broken down many social barriers, I feel like the entertainment industry still shows African Americans in the same fashion: gangsters, robbers, simpleminded folks, or people strictly with a “ghetto” or “black” mentality. They do not see African Americans as complicated characters with many layers of emotions. We are also seen in one light, and this is why many people still do not understand the African American population. The public portrays them as the same. This attitude hinders individuality and creativity. I would offer closure to this issue, by asking Hollywood to stop typecasting blacks into…

    African Americans In Film Essay

    Critics argue that these roles that many African Americans play in films as servants, jezebels, unintelligent black men, and “mad black men” are mainly what is available because these are the roles that the film industries audiences want to see. They also think that this is what will sell. Woody Allen is a filmmaker and playwright and he says he only hires African Americans actors and actresses if he writes a story that requires them. Most of Woody Allen’s movies have been set in New York. New York is one of the most diverse cities in America and many minorities live there. Black people are non-existent in most of his films. Allen once said during an interview, “You don’t hire people based on race. You hire people based on who is correct for the part. The implication is that I’m deliberately not hiring black actors, which is stupid. I cast only what’s right for the part. Race, friendship means nothing to me except who is right for the part” (Sergio). Even though this was pretty common in the U.S. Film Industry’s past to exclude Black actors and actresses, diversity exist. Diversity is evolving in the country and subordinate audiences want to see roles that illustrate the world that we live…

    African-Americans In The Media

    Have you ever wonder why African-American males are usually drug dealers, pimps, convicts, or even a father with multiple children and is a deadbeat father? Or why does an African-American female have to be man-less, on well-fare with multiple children with different baby daddies, or even sometimes on the screen shaking her ass? Well to me this is exactly how most movies, television shows, music, and magazines portray African-Americans. The media portrays African-Americans in a stereotypical manner. Even though there may be some truth in these portrayals, they are sometimes unrealistic and unfair.…

    Black Women In The Media Analysis

    Malcolm X once said, "The most disrespected person in America is the black woman, the most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman." As a group, black women have not fared well in the media, specifically in the television and film industries. With minimal role diversification in the visual depictions of black women in films, stereotypes of black women from the 20th century carries over to the next generation creating false ideals of what the black women represents. The media persistence in presenting black women in substandard roles of the oversexed jezebel, the prostitute, the superwoman, and the aggressive, intimidating bitch has been frustrating to critics and black female audience alike. Black women have made valuable contributions to society; yet fail to see themselves accurately depicted on…

    Birth of a Nation

    The D. W. Griffith film was considered controversial and is still considered controversial to this day. Basically it paints the story of the rise of the Ku Klux Klan. Of course the KKK members were the heroes of the story and saved everyone from harm. The film uses white actors painted in black face to portray freed slaves. It also portrays them as savages and rapists. There was not one “black” person in the film that wasn’t considered a villain. During the voting scene, blacks were seen taking over the polls while the whites had their votes taken away. One quote in the movie when talking about a village says, “In the villages the negroes were the office holders, men who knew none of the uses of authority.” The freed slaves were just looked at as all around incompetent in the film and off film. Also, sometimes there would be African Americans in the background. You would assume that they are actors and could be used to star in the film as well.…

    Magical Negro Stereotypes: Sex In The City

    I feel the Magical Negro stereotype is a negative stereotype for people of color. I think it is offensive that it has been argued this stereotype can be seen as positive because they are not being portrayed as thugs or drug dealers. Every color of race should be given the opportunity to play any part of a movie based on their acting talents I feel that African American actors should be able to play the main role in a movie and not just be seen a co-star. In the movie Sex in the City, Jennifer Hudson plays the role of the assistant to Sarah Jessica Parker. She comes into her life and helps her get her life in order, where she could have easily played a friend to Sarah Jessica Parkers part. You can also find the Magical Negro stereotype in…
