I'm an adjunct and teach intro. soc. every semester in my dept. and I'm always looking for films which will contribute to the course as well as individual understanding. I taped it last night and will use it in my course this fall. Unfortunately, I did not see your first post (a few weeks ago) which included a list of good films. Will you please either re-post that list or email it to me at my personal address (aiaware@erols.com)? I also have a few favorites which may interest some of you: "The Killing Screens" 1994. Foundatation for Media Education. Socialization and the Media. Presents results of a 20-yr. study by Gerbner and Kilbourne which raise thought-provoking questions about the impact of the media on our lives. Emphasizes the "culture of violence." "Color Adjustment" Race and Media Images. Historical look at portrayal of African Americans in television in the U.S.. From black face to Amos and Andy to Beula to Julia to Good Times and All in the Family to The Cosby Show (and many in between). Sociological themes stressed throughout. Very well done; easy to identify with. This film always promotes discussion. "Faces of the Enemy" 1987. An excellent analysis of propaganda (ours and theirs). Looks at cartoons, speeches, and films to point out that "our most powerful weapon is the idea of an enemy." Interesting on many levels. thanks again, rachel. -- angela ware.
