Inside Man Award
1/2006 Before the Film and Publication Review Board In the matter between: United Independent Pictures and The Film and Publication Board In re: Appeal in respect of the film: Inside Man Award Professor Karthy Govender Introduction and description of the film 1. This is a fast-paced big budget thriller made for the commercial market by Spike Lee, and features Denzel Washington (Keith Frazier), Jodie Foster (Madeleine White), and Clive Owen (Dalton Russell). A band of bank Comment [MJM1]: Names checked on imdb.com robbers stage the perfect robbery, not for personal enrichment, but in order to redress historical wrongs and to punish a Nazi collaborator, Arthur Case, who unscrupulously benefited from dealings with the Nazis and who subsequently attained prominence in American society. In essence, the film is about retribution and being held accountable and responsible for past misdeeds. 1 2. Dalton Russell and his colleagues rob a bank in order to access a specific safety deposit box. The contents of the box link the founder and owner of the bank to the Nazi regime. The robbery is planned and executed flawlessly, with no one being killed or seriously injured, and the robbers escape with the contents of the safe deposit box. Evidence that will undeniably link the banker to the Nazis is left at the crime scene for Keith Frazier to follow up on. The film, like many others by Spike Lee, explicitly comments on social issues, and has a number of subliminal messages. There is a memorable exchange between a Sikh and the African- American, Keith Frazier. -

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. -

Blackkklansman and Postcolonial Studies in the EFL Classroom
Independent Project, 15 credits “Dis joint is based upon some fo’ real, fo’ real sh*t” Challenging perspectives on race and ethnicity by incorporating Spike Lee’s movie BlacKkKlansman and postcolonial studies in the EFL classroom Author: Sofija Stanic Supervisor: Anna Greek Examiner: Anne Holm Term: HT19 Subject: English Level: Bachelor Course code: 2ENÄ2E Abstract This essay argues for the benefits of incorporating Spike Lee’s film BlacKkKlansman and discussions of postcolonialism in the Swedish upper secondary EFL classroom in order to challenge students’ perspectives on race and ethnicity. The film BlacKkKlansman by Spike Lee is a work that challenges not only American history but also the perspectives of black and white people in contemporary society. Discussing the white and black characters and the social criticism in the movie with students in the English classroom may encourage them to be more open-minded and aware of global political and social issues. Key words Postcolonial criticism; BlacKkKlansman; racial issues; racism; EFL classroom; fundamental values; stereotypes Thanks To my supervisor Anna Greek, thank you for all your kind support and help during the writing of this essay, you helped spark my interest for the subject.
