  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

Though the printed word is essential in learning, educators have been taking notice of the new visual and oratory stimuli and incorporated them into classroom teaching. The purpose of this idea packet is to further introduce teacher colleagues to this methodology and share a compilation of films which may be easily implemented in secondary social studies instruction. Though this project focuses in grades 6-12 social studies we believe that media should be infused into all K-12 subject areas, from language arts, math, and foreign languages, to science, the arts, physical education, and more. In this day and age, students have become accustomed to acquiring knowledge through mediums such as television and movies. Though books and text are essential in learning, teachers should take notice of the new visual stimuli. Films are familiar in the everyday lives of students.

  • HOW NURSES ARE PORTRAYED in AMERICAN and TURKISH MOVIES Amerikan Ve Türk Filmlerinde Hemşireler Nasıl Tasvir Edilmektedir?
    GEVHER NESIBE JOURNAL OF MEDICAL & HEALTH SCIENCES | ISSN 2717-7394 Arrival Date: 24.12.2020 |Published Date: 25.03.2021 | 2021, Vol: 6, Issue: 11 | pp: 06-11 | Doi Number: http://dx.doi.org/10.46648/gnj.0164 HOW NURSES ARE PORTRAYED IN AMERICAN AND TURKISH MOVIES Amerikan ve Türk Filmlerinde Hemşireler Nasıl Tasvir Edilmektedir? Rukiye PINAR BÖLÜKTAŞ1 ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of the study was to describe how nursing and nurses are portrayed in American and Turkish movies. Methods: First of all, we examined the films with the keywords nurse and nursing. The majority of the films were produced in the United States. Turkish film industry produced only six films between 1968 and 2020. Three movies from the United States (English Patient, Nurse Betty, Meet the Parents) and three movies from Turkey (Beautiful Coffee Server, Imperator, Brought by the Sea) with at least one nurse character with a significant part were covered. Thematic qualitative method was used to analyze the movies’ content. Results: All nurses, except one, were female, white, young, single, and childless. In “English Patient”, the nurse is portrayed mainly as a self-sacrificing character. In “Nurse Betty”, nursing is seen as a profession that can be done without education. “Meet the Parents” draws attention to common stereotypes about male nurses. In “Beautiful Coffee Server”, the nurse character is typically reduced to a supporting role, enforcing the message to the viewer that nurses were not really needed in healthcare. “Imperator” emphasizes the nurse’s sexual attractiveness and behavior rather than her professional work. And finally, in “Brought by the Sea”, portrayal of nurse creates a potent favorable image of nursing.

  • Beau Travail
    Beau Travail Dir: Claire Denis, 1999 A review by Dayna Oscherwitz, The University of Texas at Austin, USA Beau Travail, French director Claire Denis's ninth film, is perhaps her most poetic and her most enigmatic. The story of French legionnaires in the east African enclave of Djibouti, the film is inspired by Herman Melville's 1891 novella, Billy Budd, a fact made evident by similarities in plot and by the inclusion of music from Benjamin Britten's opera of the same name. Told in flashback, the film recounts the experiences of one Sergeant Galoup (Michel Subor), a former legionnaire living in Marseille, and his encounter with the mysterious Sentain (Grégoire Colin), who plays the incarnation of the Billy Budd character in the film. Caught between the two men in Denis' version is the commander of the legionnaires post, Forrestier (Denis Lavant). It is Forrestier who provides the source of much of the tension between Galoup and Sentain in the film, as Galoup feels himself to be replaced in the commander's graces by the young, handsome Sentain. Melville's Billy Budd is the story of a young seaman, embodying good, who is falsely accused of mutiny by a jealous superior. Struck dumb by the accusation, Billy Budd strikes his accuser and accidentally kills him. Left with no choice but to convict Billy Budd, despite his own belief in Billy Budd's innocence, the captain of the ship finds him guilty and has Billy hanged. A tale of the struggle between good and evil, Melville's version has a strongly Christian subtext, and the character of Billy Budd, who sacrifices himself in the struggle against evil, becomes a Christ-like figure.
