During Furious' speech, he mentions how there are liquor stores on every corner meant to keep black people "drugged down" in a way, rendering them highly susceptible to abuse.]]> 2022-04-12 21:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141498318 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141498540 Do the Right Thing has some interesting symbolism, the most obvious being the heat representing the rising racial tensions in the neighborhood. There was also the symbol of Buggin Out's shoes, which might represent how he feels Sal treats him (walked on)?]]> 2022-04-12 21:27:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141498540 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141498888 Clothing is an important symbol in The Heat of the Night, because it demonstrates class and education. The main character is always dressed well, but is still treated the opposite. ]]> 2022-04-12 21:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141498888 pottern2 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499547 There is a similarity between daughters of the dust and get out. Both of them use color and costume to give insight about dynamics and messages in the film. The women in Daughters of the dust where different colors based on their level of commitment to the culture of the island. In this movie all of the guests including Rose are all wearing red, showing the separation between all of them and chris, singling him out. ]]> 2022-04-12 21:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499547 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499686 In Bless their Little Hearts multiple scene are all around the kitchen when they are having to cook their own meals or take care of the house chores while the mom is out at work and the dad does nothing. ]]> 2022-04-12 21:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499686 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499768 In Paris is Burning, balls represent a space of freedom, specifically for the LGBTQ+ community. Most of the movie is composed of interviews with people who describe the balls as places where they can truly be themselves without being judged or punished for being who they are.]]> 2022-04-12 21:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499768 https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499925 A symbol in this movie was the often  clothing of the characters. They wore big fur jackets, which I think were meant to represent the wealth that they are driven by.

Location where Charlie shaves, calm routine safe place, broken by the dripping of the sink, maybe a cheaper sink that wont turn off easily a reminder of the poverty and surmounting stress. Turns off the sink aggressively and making it impossible to easily turn back on, trying his hardest to block out the problems. ]]> 2022-04-12 21:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141499992 hamlettj https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141500549 I think that one symbol that came up repeatedly in superfly was the ankh symbol that showed up in street art and on Priest's pendant. It was ironic that a symbol used through most of history to associate with black liberation and panafricanism was used to take cocaine which has been a destructive force in the black community for decades.]]> 2022-04-12 21:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smithhiebertp/as2zus8n7t8a0p1j/wish/2141500549
