Among other things, this has resulted in the Oscar Academy’s new inclusion standard which attempts to regulate the diversity on and behind the camera. The aim of this master’s thesis is therefore to explore whether these demands have any justification. This is done by examining how ethnicity, gender and sexuality have been portrayed on film from 2010 to 2019. The thesis begins by reviewing scientific research within the fields of ethnicity, gender and sexuality in the film industry. This research is then the basis for a coding manual and schedule used in a quantitative content analysis of 164 films. The films are selected using purposive sampling based on popularity in Danish cinemas and Oscar-nominations in the category ‘Best Motion Picture’. The quantitative content analysis provides an overview of e.g., characters with regard to gender, ethnicity, sexuality, occupation, marital status etc. A quantitative content analysis, however, does not provide in-depth nuances, but primarily detects frequencies. Therefore, this thesis also includes a qualitative analysis of three films that stand out in relation to diversity: 'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' (Kasdan, 2017), 'Black Panther' (Coogler, 2018) and 'The Shape of Water' (del Toro, 2018). This thesis concludes that the film industry is still dominated by a white, male hegemony, which privileges films about white men. Hence, male stories seem more important than films about women or other ethnicities than white. Furthermore, the analysis shows that ethnicity and gender are often portrayed through stereotypes and traditional gender roles. Films still primarily place women in the private sphere and men in the public sphere. Moreover, heteronormativity permeates Hollywood, and it is primarily women whose marital status we must know, while it can go unsaid for men. However, the portrayal of sexual stereotypes on film no longer exists to the same extent. On a general level, this thesis concludes that several films today work with different forms of diversity, and this is especially true of the Oscar-nominated films as these films typically deal with socially relevant topics. Despite this tendency, there has only been a small improvement in the portrayal of ethnicity over the past decade, and female characters have decreased in favour of male characters. Based on this thesis, it appears that the critique of the film industry with regard to the lack of diversity is justifiable. However, the jury is still out with regard to whether the film industry is obligated to be politically correct, or whether it compromises on film as art for art’s sake. Indholdsfortegnelse 1.

  • And Reconcile Us with Evil a Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film, and Politics
    ...And Reconcile Us With Evil A Critical Investigation of the Imagery of Good and Evil in Western Religion, Film, and Politics Religion in Peace and Conflict Uppsala Universitet, Teologiska Fakulteten Author: Arne L Gellrich Supervisor: Nils Billing Examinator: Kajsa Ahlstrand Abstract With an eye on the current social and political situation in Europe, and with regards to the so-termed refugee crisis, this study aims to map the discourse on assumed good and evil shared among Western cultures, as represented by Sweden, Germany and the United States. The thesis takes its point of departure from essayistic reflections of the philosophical tradition and theological and religious analytical positions respectively. These are then followed by two in- vestigative main chapters, designed along the lines of Norman Fairclough’s approach to critical dis- course analysis (CDA). The first of these chapters studies the narratives of good and evil employed in the mainstream cinema of the past ten years in the mentioned countries. The second analysis is made up of three case studies, in turn looking at similar narratives in the campaigns of the two main competitors in the 2016 presidential race, a German protest movement against free trade agreements, and the everyday political communication of Swedish Facebook us- ers. In a final chapter, findings from all four preceding chapters are brought together in an attempt to sketch an image of the congruences and discrepancies of narratives on good and evil in the overall discursive field. The thesis finds that the discursive field shared by the three investigated societies is largely ho- ...And Reconcile Us With Evil mogenous, with certain imagery permeating all analysed orders of discourse.

  • Zakk V. Diesel (2019) 33 Cal.App.5Th 431 an Amended Complaint Consistent with a Previous Complaint's Allegations of a Specific
    Zakk v. Diesel (2019) 33 Cal.App.5th 431 An amended complaint consistent with a previous complaint’s allegations of a specific contract, but omitting allegations of an overarching contract, was not a sham pleading. FACTS/PROCEDURE George Zakk was the executive producer for several films by One Race Films, Inc, which is owned by Vin Diesel. In March 2016, Zakk brought suit against Diesel, One Race Films, Inc., and Revolution Studios for breach of an oral contract, breach of an implied-in-fact contract, intentional interference with contractual relations, quantum meruit, promissory estoppel, and declaratory relief. Zakk alleged that he had an oral/implied-in-fact contract with Defendants under which Zakk would act as Executive Producer for various One Race films and receive compensation for each film ranging from $250,000 to $275,00. The alleged contract also stated that Zakk would receive an Executive Producer credit and identical compensation for any sequels produced, regardless of Zakk’s involvement in those sequels. Specifically, Zakk claimed in his suit that he was entitled to an Executive Producer credit and compensation for the xXx sequels (xXx was a 2002 film which Zakk worked on and developed for Defendants). During the pleadings stage, Zakk filed three amended complaints, and Defendants responded each time with demurrers. In the final demurrer, Defendants alleged that Zakk’s third amended complaint was a sham pleading for two reasons: (1) in the third amended complaint, Zakk alleged the existence of multiple contracts (one for each film), while previously, Zakk alleged the existence of only a single contract (applicable to all films); and (2) in the third amended complaint, Zakk adjusted the range of compensation he alleged he was entitled to receive from the previous complaints.

  • The Jungle, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker Have Separated for College, but Plan a Reunion Over Christmas Break
    Three years after their adventure in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker have separated for college, but plan a reunion over Christmas break. The night before the reunion, Spencer, feeling like he has no purpose, gets out the Jumanji game set. When he doesn't show up at the reunion, his friends visit his mother's home, greeted by Spencer's grandfather Eddie and Eddie's former friend and business partner Milo Walker, who is visiting him. They discover that Spencer has gone into Jumanji and Fridge, Martha, Eddie and Milo go into the game as well, leaving Bethany behind. Inside the game, Martha finds herself as Ruby Roundhouse, the same avatar she had in the prior movie. Fridge becomes Professor Sheldon Oberon (which Bethany had used previously) while Eddie and Milo become Dr. Smolder Bravestone and Franklin "Mouse" Finbar (which Spencer and Fridge had used previously). After instructing Eddie and Milo on the game's rules, the group encounters non-player character Nigel Billingsley, the game's guide, who reveals that Jumanji is suffering from a massive drought. To leave the game, the group must end the drought by recovering a magical necklace known as the Falcon Heart that was stolen by the warlord Jurgen the Brutal. Meanwhile, Bethany, left out of the game and still in the real world, goes to fellow Jumanji player Alex Vreeke for help. Transported to a desert to pursue Jurgen, and after narrowly escaping a flock of pursuing ostriches, the group encounters Spencer, who is operating a new avatar, a skilled thief named Ming Fleetfoot.
