Understanding this complex relationship is critical for challenging dominant narratives of Australian identity and advocating for a more inclusive view of Australian society. "The Castle" is a 1997 Australian comedy film directed by Rob Sitch about a working-class family fighting to keep their home from being taken away by the government for an airport expansion.

The film Girl’s Trip has been applauded for being a celebration of blackness in the primarily white film industry. The majority of the cast and the writers for Girl’s Trip are people of color.

However, most of the black characters in Girl’s Trip shift through various controlling images throughout the movie.

As one of the most influential entertainment producers, Disney dominates the global market for ages attracting the countless audience around the world. However, Disney’s most famous “‘princess’ fairy tale stories” (Barker, 2010, p. 492) are criticized for racism and sexism.

For Disney this film was the response to the accusation of racism and sexism represented in its animation.

Over the last century, there have been monumental shifts towards sexual equality. That is not to say, however, that society as a whole can boast complete and total fairness between men and women. Blatant sexism may be declining, but more subtle forms of gender discrimination are still alive and well.
