blog 5- movie's big effect.

Movie is a prime source of entertainment and information. The most important effect is on Stereotyping.

People chose information that they want to give, people offer ideas that they want to offer, and people control audience's ideology through movies, that has been the most important media.

Movie is powerful to control people's ideology. For example, The horror movie- scream, attempts audiences to guess who is the murderer. The victims  always are women and minorities. So women and minorities are stereotyped as weak and problem. Most audiences are aware that the fist and easily to dead usually are black men, then white women. White and strong handsome men are stereotyped as heros.  Native americans have been one of the most negatively stereotyped ethic groups in American Films. According to one critic," The indians are always going  to slaughter somebody or they are running by a wagon train full of women and children and the women and children knock them off their horses. Every time they pull a trigger an Indian dies. Another example, The most disaster movies usually show the world disasters happened in America, and finally were saved by American. Other countries were powerless and bystanders. 

Dan Brown is a writer who likes to travel around Europe, and thinks Europe is a magical place which can provide more inspiration. He traveled to Rome, and envisaged in the complicate narrow alleys the murders and heros were playing hide. The film Angles and Demons was blamed by Catholic, even was banned in Samoa for the critical of the Catholic Church. They thought the film guided innocent people to think the religion was fraud.  

Movie studios set the bad image or negative image of race and gender. However most audiences follow the idea of the movies. Their mind have been controlled by media. People are difficult to objectively judge.

The stereotyping emphasizes movie is a big effect in the media. It can easily control ideology. In the early 50s, 90 million people- almost 75 percent of the population went to the movies every week. Even though most people choose to stay at home to watch movies, they are still powerful to influence people.
