The legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen is a well known historical story in my household because I have a Great Great Uncle that was a Tuskegee Airman.

2) What is the role of source music in Casablanca? (10 points) Source music in Casablanca is used to give a setting to a scene and portray the emotions of the characters. La Marseillaise is the French national anthem that is frequently played throughout the movie. It’s supposed to represent liberty, equality, and the Allies during WWII, which was the time period the movie is supposed to have taken place. A particular scene in which La Marseillaise had significant meaning was when German soldiers were singing the Nazi anthem in Rick’s Café and then almost the entirety of the other people in the café started to sing La Marseillaise to drown out the singing of the Germans.
The minority group emphasized the unconventional and irrational ideas of a generation which was read for change from society (Egendorf 24). Consequently, variety in opinions and styles introduced the separation that was crucial for the hippie identification. There are various identifiable figures for early rock and roll; but perhaps the most recognized as being the first legend of the rock and roll sound was Elvis Presley. Elvis was born in 1935 and grew up in the south in Tupelo, Mississippi (Egendorf 30). Elvis eventually migrated north and would go on to produce songs such as “That’s All Right, Mama,” which set up his influx into rock and roll history (Egendorf 38).
To create this, writer Bruce Norris created a play with only two acts. The first act is based in the late 1950’s and early 60’s right after the war. The second act is based in the same house fifty years apart in the year 2009. By doing this Bruce Norris shows how race is still an important factor in many people’s lives even though racism has supposedly been abolished. Racism is one of the key factors that play a major role in the play “Clybourne Park”.
In the movie Bran Nue Dae it is stereotyped that all aborigines are submissive, Willie challenges this stereotype by pulling his hand away and starts singing with the rest of the boys. This occurs in the scene where Willie dobbed himself in for stealing food and drinks, Father Benedictus was going to hit his hand with a bat when Willie pulls his hand away and starts singing the song ‘there is nothing I would rather be’ and the rest of the students join in. In this scene they show long and mid shots, mid shots are used when Willie and Father Benedictus are talking and shows the different powers between black and white people.

Pink Floyd were influenced by a number of artists throughout their career, helping them towards the sound they achieved on Dark Side of the Moon. Miles Davis, one of the most important musicians of the second half of the twentieth century, helped create modern jazz as we know it. It is reported that Richard Wright would often lose himself in jazz records, particularly the work of Miles Davis, through his hard bop style in the 1950’s, experimental ambient sound in the 1960’s, and his rock and funk records in the 1970’s. Wright has said himself that one of his favourite pieces ever was Miles Davis’ take on Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess from the 1959 Kind of Blue album, which was a key influence to the composition of the chord sequence which forms the song Us and Them from Dark Side of the Moon. The Beatles were a band that influenced Pink Floyd greatly in the lead up to the release of Dark Side of the Moon; most bands were influenced by the Beatles at this time.
Giroux believes that Disney animated shows feature negative awareness through racially coded diction. For instance, Arabian Nights seems to present the Western stereotype of evil Arab ethnicity through its lyrics in Aladdin. Aladdin is set in an Arabian city of Agrabah explaining the gruesome lyrics in Arabian Nights. The hyenas in The Lion King “speak with jive accents of urban black or Hispanic youth” (110). The Lion King has a story line consisting of scenes taking place in Africa.
From John Ford’s Stagecoach (1939), to movies today like American History X (1999), and South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999), racism seems to be drawing audiences to the movie theatre. These movies push the limit as far as they can be pushed. Racism is a part of everyone’s lives, whether anyone will admit or not, that is still the question. We learn in high school about our country’s problems with slavery, and how the African-Americans overcome and are treated equal under the United States Constitution. We learn the hardships of the Jewish religion through Adolf Hitler and the holocaust in Germany during World War II.
