Race, Class, and Gender?

Question

I need to choose two films, and I am looking for suggestions if anyone has got some ideas.

have to choose two of the three issues:
1. Race and Gender
2. Race and Class
3. Class and Gender

I then need to find a movie for each one in which the main character is affected by their race, class, or gender.

Any ideas?

witchyone: I am not asking people to do my homework. I am asking for suggestions about films that I can research and write about. All I'm asking for is a little direction.

Answer 1

A Time to Kill (race and class)
Gone With the Wind (Scarlette's race, class, and gender)
Lord of the Rings (race and class-think outside the box)
Legally-pardong my spelling-(class and gender-sometimes things can be reversed)
The Color Purple (race and gender)
Giant-with Elizabeth Taylor-(gender and class and race)!
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (race and gender)
To Kill A Mockingbird (gender and race)
Titanic-okok-but (gender and class)
Erin Brokavich-sorry about spelling- (gender and class)
hope some of that helps.

Answer 2

X-Men
First movie.
Deals with Race and Class and does it in the Malcom X vs Martin Luther King Jr metaphor.

Mutants are a different race and don't want to be treated like second class citizens for it, One man, Professor X, wants to resolve the issue peacefully. The other man, Magnito, wants to wage war against non-mutants.

Very interesting metaphors through-out the movie.

Answer 3

I would suggest the last version of the film Native Son It came out in the mid 80's and if memory serves me right It was Oprah Winfrey second movie I believe Matt Dillon was also in it. It will actually cover all three of your issues. I hope this helps you out

Answer 4

we do not. Why does the right always lie? when we snort at, or communicate about the bat-sh*t craziness of the TPers, that's depending on the insanity of what they say. I have under no circumstances further up race in this context till I see someone on the right occurring and on about what a rainbow of folk TP. the actuality that I then communicate about what a LIE it really is would not make ME passionate about race. so a strategies as i'm worried, the purely element that the White-breadness of the TPers invalidates is the declare OF the TPers that they characterize u . s . a . of america racially. (basically because the actuality that purely 18% of people trust them invalidates their declare that they communicate for "maximum human beings" of people.) No, i do no longer see the international purely through the prismS (more beneficial than one prism) of race, gender, and sophistication. compared to wing-nuts, my mind has more beneficial than one functioning mind cellular, and that i'm able to contemplate the international through MANY prisms -- utilising each to be certain if it helps me comprehend issues extra valuable, and under no circumstances pretending one can purely use ONE prism to proper comprehend any situation. traditionally-depending prisms commonly DO help us comprehend what's occurring NOW. And at the same time as speaking about the monetary gadget, that's insane to no longer evaluate monetary factors. we've not replaced moral sorts of properly and incorrect. We word them properly. An monetary gadget in which a million% of hte inhabitants has ninety 9% of the wealth isn't a "good" monetary gadget. i comprehend wing-nuts evaluate MAXIMIZING useless suffering and demise to be morally stronger to MINIMIZING them, yet they're only incorrect in this. what's quite moral isn't maximizing useless suffering and demise. The left considers that a foul, or IMMORAL element. to flow again on your unique, thoroughly inaccurate question, that's no longer the LEFT who thinks that the options of a persons' finished life should be made for them depending entirely on their race, sex, or classification. (BTW, the left realizes that there are more beneficial than 2 classifications of race -- back, our brains are not so tiny that purely 2 recommendations fit at one time.)

Answer 5

Race and gender
Rosa Parks Story (2002)
11 Emmy nominations and 7 wins
I rented it through Netflix but I'm sure they have it at a library.

Oh yeah The Color Purple is a good one too! Good suggestion.

Answer 6

Class - my recommendation would be Friends With Money, as it deals very delicately with the effects of wealth on relationships. It shows that both the very rich and the very poor tend to serve as archetypes to which the rest of us compare ourselves.

Gender - Bend It Like Beckham would work very nicely here. It questions what femininity in our day and age means, especially across cultural lines.
