SomeSome likelike it it hot hot My favourite movie is "Some like it hot" of Billy Wilder. It's a romantic comedy with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. It's an old movie because it came out on the screens in 1959. I love this movie because I've seen it many times since I'm a child. I watch it every year when I go to my grand parents' house. First, the film takes place in Chicago then in Miami, Florida. The actors are very funny and wonderful. The movie indirectly deals with homosexuality and Billy Wilder explored the subject with humor. He also denounces the Mafia and the criminality of the 50’s. TitanicTitanic Titanic is my favorite film. It's a historical drama and a love story between Jack and Rose forever separated by an iceberg. The two main actors in this film are Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet. I love Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie because he's talented and very good looking. I love Titanic because it's a dramatic event and a beautiful story. I saw it when I was ten years old at home because when it came out in 1998, I was not born. It touched me a lot and I cried when I watched this film. My favorite moment is when Rose is flying, in Jack's arms, over the ocean. I also love the music in this film "My Heart Will Go On" because it's awesome, incredible and amazing . LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG My favourite movie is « Les Parapluies de Cherbourg « . It’s a French movie .It was directed by Jacques Demy, a famous film- maker. I saw it when I was six years old .I love this film because there is one of my favourite actresses, Catherine Deneuve, in the movie and the music and songs are really great. They were composed by Michel Legrand. It’s a musical comedy which is my favourite genre. In this film I like the songs, the actors and the sets. The moment I like most in this film is when the man must go to the army and there is a beautiful song between the two main actors. A star is born My favourite movie is « A star is born ». I saw it last December during the Christmas holidays with my mother on TV. This film is a musical and a romance. The director is Bradley Cooper and he is an actor in the movie too. There is also the singer Lady Gaga. I love it because it’s moving and it shows you must believe in your dreams to succeed ! My favourite moment in the film is when they are singing together because it’s very touching and we can feel they are in love ; So romantic ! Maleficent 2 My favorite movie is Maleficent 2. I saw it three months ago with my family at the cinema.It’s a fantastic movie because it is a tale and the characters are unrealistic and magical. This film is great because the story is fascinating and interesting. The special effects are very realistic and the end is very joyful. In this movie, my favorite actress is Angelina Jolie because I find it’s the best character of the movie : the kindest, the most endearing and the most mysterious. Finally, for me the best moment is when Maleficent rises from the ashes. I was reassured and very happy because she’s still alive and also because it was a sign that there will probably be a sequel. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets My favourite movie is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is a fantasy. I like this film because the story is fantastic, and there are very good actors. It was directed by Chris Columbus. My favourite actress in this film is Bonnie Wright who plays Ginny Weasley. I saw this movie last year with my sister at home. My favourite moment is when Harry Potter saves Ginny in the chamber of secrets. It is the second film of the Harry Potter saga which is composed of eight fims. The TV show is a teen drama and a mystery fiction. The main actors are Lili Reinhart, K.U Apa, Cole Sprouse, Madelaine Petsch, Camila Mendes. I watched it on TV on Netflix. I began seeing the TV show one year ago. It’s a group of teenagers who go to the same highschool in the city of RIVERDALE. In the first season, the plot is that the brother of one of the main female characters is killed. So four teenagers become friends and try to help her to find the killer . The series is also about the personal problems of the teenagers and their love stories. I like this TV show because I like drama movies. The plots are breathtaking . This TV show also makes me laugh and there is so much suspens that I can’t miss the next episode ! Donne moi des ailes Donne moi des ailes is a French adventure film. I saw it three months ago at the cinema. It’s about a boy who always plays video games but,one day he goes to his father’s house for the holidays. His father is a scientist in Camargue who works about geese and doesn’t want them to disappear . He decides to create a new migration route less dangerous for them...but the police doesn’t let them fly so the boy decides to fly alone with a little air plane for many kilometers to create a new way with the birds This story is beautiful because of the landscape and it is inspired by a true story.The actors play well and the story is very emotional too. I am very impressed that a teenage boy has followed such a long way because he loves geese and doesn’t want them to disappear.It’s fantastic that people help the nature or animals even though it is forbidden by the law My favorite film is « Belle et Sébastien ». It’s a French film of Nicolas Vanier. It’s an adventure movie. This is my favorite film because of its magnificent and green landscapes but also for its very emotional story. When I saw this movie the first time, I was eight years old. It was at the cinema with my parents and my sister. Today, I have watched this movie three times. It takes place in the Alpes during the First World War. A little boy who lives with his grand-father meets a dog and a friendship starts between the two characters. Some people want to kill the dog because the inhanbitants of the village think that he eats their sheep. It’s a very lovely and tragic story at the same time. The character that I prefer is the little boy because despite what the others think he doesn’t abandon the dog. He is very brave and touching. The main actors are Félix Bossuet, Tchécky Karyo, Margaux Châtelier and Dimitri Storoge. A star is born The film I like the most is “A star is born”. It’s a dramatic movie.

Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

I first wish to express my appreciation to the faculty of the University of Florida Department of English, particularly the members of my dissertation committee. Professor Maureen Turim, my advisor and dissertation director, has been an invaluable mentor, not only over the course of this project, but throughout my studies at Florida. Her guidance in the writing of this dissertation, from the original seed of an idea to the final reading, has been invaluable. I am also truly grateful to Professors Susan Hegeman, Roger Beebe, and Nora Alter for their enthusiasm, their advice, and their encouragement to take my work to new levels. My thanks also go out to my fellow graduate students in the Florida English Department for their friendship and their good humor. The camaraderie of other students helped lighten many a stressful day as I worked to complete this journey. Finally, my family—Mom, Dad, Linda, Christine, Tony, Olivia and Grace—have always provided me with love and support, not just as I wrote this dissertation, but all along the road I have taken to get to this point. For that they have my love and my thanks.

It is in that spirit we embrace America’s new role as the host of Independent Lens, a diverse and fiercely independent film series.” “I 'm honored to be hosting this wonderful series of independent documentaries,” said America Ferrera. “ I love independent film and I think it's exciting that PBS is making these thought provoking stories accessible to a wide audience.” America Ferrera is perhaps best known for her fearless portrayal of Betty Suarez on ABC's hit comedy Ugly Betty.
