Video discussing Disney's role in our society! What do you think?
Media, gender representations ...a woman needs to be saved by a man, womens' bodies are used to get what they want, family violence, media stereotypes,
Some of the movies they referred to specifically regarding gender representations....
Snow White - women love to sing and clean for their men
Beauty and the Beast - a story of domestic violence
Mulan - strong women, but when the war is over - trying to get a man to marry
Bambi, Aladdin - women use their bodies to get what they want...
Media Stereotypes; racism and sexism
Chihuahuas always latino character; Latino characters usually doing things they shouldn't do...
Black people portrayed as apes, crows, hyenas
Natives needing to be tamed by white people
White supremacy in Tarzan...
Siamese cats as chinese; cunning sinister and manipulative
i think the people in the movie are stupid, who thinks about that stuff watching movies ? kids dont even look at shit like that.
ReplyDeletekids need to stop being such pussies nowadays
ReplyDeleteDisney just makes interesting movies for the children. Seriously people overlook the wrongs in Disney movies. In the end, all they are are heros and good people. They are all raciest and just believe everyone is evil in the movies or just want to use woman as an easy access. They believe women cannot defend themselves and need a man to defend them. They also think that women are just used as help in the house and should do everything. Writers believe the movie makers mock all the different views of races and use them. The stereotypes are outrageous, people should not get offend for Disney trying to make a movie. They only do this because Disney is so powerful they want to overpower them, when they really cant. Disney is just trying to make movies for children and everyone looks at the bad of it.
ReplyDeleteSo we just watched a movie about skepticism towards Disney. I think is a load of crap! I don't agree with Disney's power in media. Disney is too power and they make it practically impossibe for other companies to succeed in media because they own so much of it. I feel they need to sell parts of their company so they don't own soo much. But the skepticism towards them is dumb. Disney may have some stereotypes towards groups, but that is they way the world is. There are stereotypes EVERYWHERE in the world about EVERYONE. And just bacause a group of people aren't in a movie, that doesn't mean they are being racist, thats just dumb. As far as kids are concerned, they don't care about "underlying" messages. The movie basically said that every part of Disney movies are fulled with underlying messages that shouldn't be sent to kids. I don't think this is true, and if its true, kids wouldn't understand anyways. I think the people in the movie are WAY looking into the negative parts of the Disney movies
ReplyDeleteI liked all of these Disney movies when i was younger. I'm pretty sure everyone on that video just wanted to be heard because they were personally offended by these movies. No matter what they say all of these movies are classics for anyone that grew up while these movies were being released.
ReplyDeleteWell I supost on the wrong thing again. Oh well it is all done so you will have to look for what you want or just on the other part about this movie. I do think that the movies and tv shows that the kids watch does make them want cwertain things from the toys. special toy and cloths. I believe that we as a group worry to much about what other people think about us.
ReplyDeletewhen i was younger i watched awll those movies , and i wasnt veiwing nothing the way they was talking about . so what they was saying was dumb kids dnt look at things like tht
