Class and Virtue

     Does this type of stereotype movie theme always happen. The are movies that seem to have a different set up for the lower class and for the higher class. Some instance the bad guys are usually the rich, while the lower class people are the good. Through there is still the case of how they dress. Does it really follow this movie stereotype about class and virtue?

     The are also many cases where the movie has the good guy being the lower class going against the upper class. The movie Leon: The Professional has the main protagonist as a man living in a worn down apartment in little Italy in New York. He fights against corrupt DEA officer who is dresses nice and has money. Even though the DEA officer is high class, he still has the traits of a bad guy in the lower class like drug addiction.

Is the role Magical Negro still here?

     Is the offensive role still used in movies were played in these last three years? Around recently movies should already stop using that role if it is offensive in the first place. Directors might have realized by now that it isn't really a role that is should be used now. Or do they still use the role today.

     The answer to that is yes. In the Captain America film the Winter Soldier, the capt is seen talking to a black male on his usual morning runs. The black male hasn't been seen throughout most of the film and is shown when the climax is near. The character has the characteristics of the "Magical Negro," who gives some advice to the capt and helps him the final battle.

Why do people prefer outlaw hero's?

     Why do people prefer the outlaw hero than the official hero in movies. The outlaw hero's are one that always do things freely without the worry of law restricting their actions. They have the problem of loneliness during the movie when usually they try to drive off the women. Usually men would love to have a women with them if they are living in excitement of freedom from the system. Official hero's have comfort and safety, so why doesn't people prefer that?

     The reason is that people are constantly living within the system outside the big screen and usually want to leave that behind. So when a person sees a outlaw hero on the screen the have excitement from imagining what kind of life it would be like from someone like themselves. Even if the hero starves off women, a lot of men usually want to escape from their wives who are sometimes the reason for their lust to be rid of the system they are living in. Cause to them living in the system can feel repetitive and boring and lead people looking out for a way out.

The Hollywood Sign: American Film

     Do movies really have a repetition on the content they show and the content that is shown has gotten more violent over the years. From what I read is that many films had barely any indication of realism to injury. Like times when you see someone shot at point blank and just see a red dot on their head. Blood though isn't really shown much and doesn't seem real. So in this day and age, does movies have that increase violence?

     The answer to that is yes. Movies like the "Expendables" series which had huge amounts of combat that lead to bodies flaying all over the place and injury leaving a big messy mark. People over the years are looking for more realism in the films they watch and won't accept a bullet wound to just leave some small red mark on their chest or head. People are curios about what the actual violence looks like and won't mind seeing some character that is being mentally and physically tormented to death.

      What will happen if you have no opinion at all about current popular culture. I really don't care whats in trend nor whats the hottest thing out. Usually I like to live my life by just going with what I want. Sure I follow the opinion of some to help figure what I want. But, I usually just pick out what interest me in the end.

     In a group the opinions of others can help form one with their help. Even if they tell me something i'm aren't to sure about. Those people can be great help in giving ideas that can help form an idea for popular culture. The importing thing is that the group helps out and helps formulate my opinion. Even if it isn't mine in the beginning, I can make something myself using whatever they gave me to start.

Dove's "Real Beauty" Backlash Output

     Do all men think that women in ads want only women to be unrealistic like a fantasy? I'm sure that many men out there wouldn't care much about that if seen. Women in ads are always trying to meet the standards of male fantasy. Even though it is used as a technique. I don't think many men care.
     Usually women in the ads are to convince women to buy the products to improve themselves. It really doesn't matter much that women who may seem a bit plump show on screen and bother men. The target audience isn't for them in the first place so why should it matter to them if the women doesn't meet with their quota. Women in those ads don't have to be unrealistically hot or sexy, just have to send the right message to the viewers what they are selling.
