Good Luck Charlie: Film Analysis

568 Words3 Pages

I watched Good Luck Charlie for my bias assignment. It is a Disney series about a family that likes to have fun but also has everyday problems. This episode was about the mother going back to work after having her fourth child and she needed help from her family to keep an eye on the baby. The second child is a girl name Teddy and she was pretty much put in charge over her dad while her older brother got to go out with his friends she also wanted to go on a date that night but her dad made the boy come to the house for the first date. The third son named Gabe felt that his family forgot about him ever since the new baby came, his older brother and sister insured him they all still love him.

One of the types of bias I observed was the fact the Mother and father made the daughter have her first date at the house instead of going out, and her brother getting to go out with his friends having no responsibility with watching the baby. I believe Teddy had to stay at home for the date and watch the little sister because her parents view her as the reasonable one. I also think it is because she is a girl and most girls don’t have the same rules of their brothers. …show more content…

Girls are just known to be more responsible than boys that is why I believed Teddy’s mom put her in charger over the older brother. People also argue that boys have less strict rules growing up than girls. I believe this is because parents think boys are tougher and can protect themselves better than a girl. In all reality girls are seen as weaker more responsible even if they are younger. Boys can be as responsible as a girl just most people don’t give them a chance simply because “He’s Just a Hot Head Boy” . It is fair to say the overall type of bias in this film was gender bias. Not only towards girls but towards boys as

13th Film Analysis Essay

1335 Words | 6 Pages

The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film. President Barack Obama presents statistics, saying “the United States is home to 5% of the world’s population but is home to 25% of the world’s prisoners.” Also the film uses a hyperbole in talking about the movie Birth of a Nation produced in 1915 which portrays a black man as a violent savage who will kill white women.

Even though it may be just a stereotype, the Scottish people are not generally known for their joyful nature and friendliness. No wonder, considering the geographical location of the country, the weather and the scarce population in the wild landscape. Kilts, mysterious countryside full of lochs and ruined castles, back pipes, whiskey and Brave Heart is what usually comes to people’s minds when Scotland is mentioned, but legends and nature are not exactly what the contemporary Scottish films usually focus on. Once a person gets himself into the modern Scottish cinematography, what they encounter are not huge historical and probably not even real battles taking place in the romanticised landscape of Sir Walter Scott.
