In 1-2 full paragraphs, analyze how Bamboozled might be applied to Ch. 7. Use terminology taken from the chapter and be hyper aware of the language used (the film may use offensive language, but in your blog you will NOT--you ain't Spike Lee and this class is not run by democratic rule--think of it as a benevolent dictatorship :P).
Bamboozled was a very intresting movie to say the leas it was full of satire, gender roles, offensive language, racism and countless other things that made the movie what it was. Throughout the movie it seemed that the charcters were represented in a way that was somewhat sterotypical. The characters were shown in a negative light the African Americans were somewhat "gangsters" and the white male lead wanted to run the show. The characters were forced to show their identites or change who they truly were. The races show what bond together in a "nations" and did what they thought to be the right thing. The African Americans refered to themselves in a negtive light and didn't mind due to the fact they were talking about themselves but when someone of the opposite race took it upon themselves to say certian things it was negative. The movie delt with many aspects of chapter 7.
I think you used a lot of key words very well. Im not sure if they were trying to represent "gangsters" but rather just poor Aferican Americans that wern't really good for much? If they knew what they were actully saying in the shows, do you think that they would still play the parts they did in the T.V show?
ReplyDeleteI think the show reprensented black people poorly but I also feel it represented some white people wrong. I remember in the movie the boss had told the the black guy what was running the show "Nigga im more black that you are". You don't find to many people saying that, esp coming from a white race.
ReplyDeleteYou used the key words very well I thought too. And there were gangsters in the movie the main girls brother who him and his friends shot mantan. But overall i agree the movie within the show portrayed black people very poorly.
