"The Matrix": Racial Implications
[ send me this essay ]
30 pages in length. The very essence of science fiction as a film genre is to stupefy audiences as to what reality might be like if the director's imaginative world ever truly existed. Indeed, one can readily argue that Star Wars, Independence Day and myriad other science fiction movies left audiences incredulous with the thought that somewhere, sometime, the world as we know it may reflect the director's vision. A particular draw to science fiction is the manner by which it allowably crosses the stringent boundaries of conventional thinking, delving deeply into what can often only exist in the recesses of one's imagination. The Matrix exemplifies one of those films where everything is viewed as an illogical twist of reality, compelling the audience to imagine reality as directors Andy and Larry Wachowski had imagined it. Most startling of all, wrapped up within a tale of technology gone awry, is the incarnation of racial transition; instead of being society's scapegoat, the black community is reflected as strong and brave, while the white race is portrayed as evil. Clearly, the directors' intention was to illustrate racial strife as just one of many social ills plaguing contemporary society. Bibliography lists 26 sources.

"The Patriot" – Uniform Accuracy
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Authenticity is a primary factor to a period film if it is to reflect the flavor, value and truthfulness of its subject. "The Patriot" is one movie where costumes reflect the entire ambiance of reality; while costume designer Deborah Scott worked with the Smithsonian Institute to ensure the authenticity of soldier uniforms and townspeople garb, there was nonetheless some rather glaring imprecision when it came to following the example left behind by history. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

"The Siege" – Post September 11, National Security And Terrorism
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Examining the impact 1998's The Siege had upon portrayal and predictions of post-September 11th American society, one finds a startling parallel between reality and fiction. The quest to gather up Arab-Americans as being somehow related to the recent terrorist incident smacks of the gross infringement upon civil liberties that ensued immediately following the real life attacks on 911. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
