Movies

My research portion deals with the issues on how race, class, family, ethnicity, sexuality, and gender differences are portrayed in the movie industry. By further exploring contemporary films, we can see these differences. Films that will be analyzed on race and ethnicity include, Spanglish, Crash, and Disney films. On the issues of class, I will be observing films such as Mona Lisa Smile, Ever After, The Princess Diaries, Birth of a Nation, and Grapes of Wrath. For issues on family, I may want to explore Dan in real life, The Family Stone, and Cheaper by the Dozen. Movies on sexuality may be best described if I watch powerful documentaries such as "Hermaphrodites Speak." The movies mentioned above have not yet been finalized. If you have any suggestions to add to this topic please add a comment. Thank You.
