In the small amount of time of working on this project I’ve learned tons of information about the progression of film and practices within this industry and how it relates to Society at that moment in time. Movies are very important in American history, because they are products of their time, and almost serve as placeholders for the time period. An example of this is the racist movies that Disney produced during the time period in contrast to the masterpieces they produce today which tell great family stories, which are beloved to this very day.
What I have learned from this time period is that movies have gotten way better and less racist than they were before. There started being colored casts and movie directors. There were even movies in this time period based on colored people, for instance Rocky was based off of Mohammed Ali. And recently a new movie called Gods of Egypt was based off of history from ancient Egypt. The most important thing that people have learned is that equality, even in movies can be useful. Using not only white casts, but casts of all races can give a greater experience and can be more popular.
One of my favorite movies from this era would be the 2001 film The Fast and The Furious. The movie features a perfect setting and a storyline that is easy to get into also the start of a great legacy through it’s many sequels. Also the movie itself along with it’s many sequels touches on a very relevant subject that is still practiced today which is crime and illegal street racing each one better than the last in some way.
What I have noticed now days is that people are starting to notice that the movies there have been many good movies made that are now considered old. So older movies usually reflect what the culture, and way of life was in that time period when the movie was made. So we are able to see how discrimination in movies has changed over the years. Now days it is almost used as comedy in some movies.
