Reel Bad Arabs, How Hollywood Vilifies a People

Guy makes some compelling points. Not all movies do this, as the youtube author points out. However, I think the general ideology and argument holds up fairly well.

"Aladdin. Back to the Future. True Lies. It isn’t everyday that you hear these three movies mentioned in the same breath, but for Dr. Jack Shaheen the link is clear. For thirty years, Shaheen, professor emeritus of mass communication at Southern Illinois University, has been studying the misrepresentation of Arabs and Muslims in film, particularly movies coming out of Hollywood. His conclusion: that Arabs and Muslims are the single most maligned and attacked group in the history of film."

Everyone should watch this btw.. Compelling argument. Wonderful conclusion.

Subliminal programming can be a bitch..

I watched the first 3 videos on youtube. The arguments he makes are definitely very interesting and valid, of course.

Shaheen is one of the more honest and good natured narrators I've listened to. He succeeds in proving his findings, and his conclusion is one of optimism and fairness.

I keep a dedicated linux based torrent box chugging away in the basement...wonderful little device.

Decent documentary.

The West isn't the only people who villify others.

Shaheen mentions the Jews as well, and aligns them with the Palestinians.

This documentary is one of neutrality.
