Hollywood Blacklisting: The Hollywood Ten
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. Communism and American democracy do not make comfortable bedfellows. This enlightening discovery served as the basis for Senator Joseph McCarthy's quest to exile all Communist association from the United States in the 1950s. Central to this exacting extermination were the Hollywood Ten, a handful of movie makers who were suspected of having Communist ties. The sheer terror that permeated through Hollywood during this blacklist period was born of the ignorance of McCarthyism and the uncertainty of one's eventual status. However, as much fervor as there was in support of the blacklisted film makers, there was a subgroup of opposition that contended each of the ten men were nothing more than disloyal Stalin supporters. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Hollywood Depiction: Cultural Consequences Of Negative Imagery
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Hollywood has a well-earned reputation for embellishing upon reality to the point where the finished product only resembles the original idea around the edges. Indeed, Hollywood's penchant for taking poetic license is a tactic that has left audiences wondering just how much of a given film accurately depicts certain cultural images and how much is an extension of the writer's imagination. The extent to which film genre distorts the image of certain populations is both grand and far-reaching; that American teen movies such as Gummo and Clueless depict American teenagers in an extremely negative light speaks to the perpetuation of these stereotypes when the films are released worldwide. With no reason to doubt what they see upon the screen, foreigners who watch these types of movies ultimately form erroneous conclusions of American youth as being shallow, spoiled, disrespectful, unappreciative and basically without any true moral or ethical fiber. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this essay ]

The coming of age in the motion picture industry would have its inventors turning in their graves; their wildest dreams could never conjure up what has come to reflect reality in today's religiously-saturated medium of entertainment. Indeed, times have changed since what began back in the late eighteen hundreds as a basis for documentaries; even – and sometimes in spite of – criticism to the contrary, Hollywood movies have been extremely successful in incorporating the concept of religion on both a conscious and subliminal level as a means by which to generate and maintain attitudes toward religion with far-reaching effects on American social and political life. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
