Disclosure (2020) is an example of a film with a very obvious ideology presented. The documentary looks at trans and non-binary people in media throughout history, how they have been misrepresented, and the negative affects that it has had on many people. The film views queer people in a good light, coming from the perspective that they should be proud of who they are and deserve good representation in society (which they do).

The Lobster 2015: The basic plot of the film is that if you don't find someone to marry within a certain amount of time you are turned into an animal. The film hints at the ideology that people tend to settle with whoever they can find once they reach an age where you are supposed to, regardless if you actually love or are happy with that person. A lot of the time people pair up and start not because they truly love each but rather just to check the box because it's better to just go with it than run out of time and end up alone or turned into an animal such as a lobster.

From what the reading says, I can propose that ideology is something that must be taken into account based on the subject matter. Say, in the context of a show like Dora or any other film or form of media with a very simple subject matter, unless extremely forced, ideological principals shouldn't be littered throughout. Movies with a more intricate subject matter such as, for example "Ghost in the Shell," discussing the possibility that humans may not have a soul, will have it's ideology plastered throughout the entirety of the film. On the topic of "Ghost in the Shell," when first watching, I personally wasn't interested, but after the main cast of characters (which majority in the movie are cyborgs) start hearing a voice akin to an inner conscience in their heads, they question whether or not the concept of the human soul even does exist. I missed this at first glance and simply thought it was a character I didn't see talking.

This approach expresses the culture and practices of Indigenous culture and perspectives where they are generally not present.

The Film "Before Tomorrow (2008)" expresses what can happen to Inuit families under harsh conditions. Typically, audiences do not know much about Indigenous people, and the Inuit Peoples in the film are isolated and have never met any white people or been close to any form of modern society. We learn that when stranded on an island these Inuit people will do anything to survive the harsh dangers of the wilderness to create a pleasant life for their families.

1. The author defines ideology as systems of shared values and beliefs that exist within all cultures. These may then determine how individuals live out their complex relations to a range of social structures and subconsciously make decisions and develop opinions on certain concepts, topics or situations.
