I have chosen this movie because this supports my research of the 5 common roles that african americans play in the film. In this film the african american actor plays the role of the magical negro. No film with an african american director has an african american playing this role which shows that different ethnic characters portray african americans differently in films.]]> 2017-09-14 11:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/rclarkesfx/djpyj5eqwvf4/wish/187498949 rclarkesfx https://padlet.com/rclarkesfx/djpyj5eqwvf4/wish/188361375 Indy100: This magazine supports the black people winning an oscar and expresses how this is a good thing because it is rare.

This will be really helpful during my essay and it is a really good point. "The white gaze: it traps black people in white imaginations. It is the eyes of a white school teacher who sees a black student and lowers expectations. It is the eyes of a white cop who sees a black person and looks twice – or worse, feels for a gun."

This is how the media portrays a thing or person and can make the society be scared of this thing and create an overall panic. This is a very good point to add in my essay because it is still relevant to this day.
