That is where the person either thinks that they already look like someone on TV or they believe they don’t need to. Deep down on some level they are envious and it is not their fault. They have been programmed since young that they are supposed to look a certain way because of what they have seen in movies. Women are supposed to be skinny with perfect bodies and the men are supposed to be chiseled and muscular, and that’s not how everyone is. This is the biggest type of persuasion and the most dangerous, the reason I say this because not only do people judge themselves on how they look but they judge everyone else.

The audience are encouraged to think deeper about the story and work out what lies beyond the plot.
The movie "Crash" was a great example of how people of different cultures can be prejudice and stereotypical toward one another. It showed how ideas and feelings are adopted and can be carried down from generation to generation.

You see and hear things about a race and assume that all or most act out those same behaviors. People also base those feelings on how a person is dressed.
Dehumanizing and Rehumanizing of Dexter When most people think of cinema today, the immediate overall picture that comes to mind is that of moving images, audio-visual effects and gimmickry of an unprecedented magnitude in human history. Missing, however, is the coherence of storytelling, of vital emotional output — genuine sentiment — and the essences that inform, that regulate human existence. Even so, a great number of people enjoy cinema for its escapist quality, their sole demand being to become at once removed from the Herculean task of having to bear too much reality. As a result, the average film operates on an entertainment level, one that is more accessible to a mass audience than perhaps any other medium. This is important; however, if cinema pretends to communicate any worthwhile truths about the human condition.

In the scene where the mugging takes place, Peter and Anthony are presumed by Jean to be criminals and of a lower-class because of the way Peter and Anthony are
In today’s society, people have become accustom to instant gratification. Watching a movie in one’s own home that they ordered from the “On Demand” feature is much easier than going out to the movies. There’s no need for a speak-easy since prohibition has been repealed. The word radio is almost foreign. The only time a majority of people use it is if their iPod or music enabled cell phone has died.

TV shows are meant to keep the viewer engaged and therefore are suspenseful and incredibly thought provoking. While discussing “The West Wing”, Johnson explains that this story, “constantly embeds mysteries into the present-tense events- you see the characters performing actions or discussing events about which crucial information has been deliberately withheld”(Johnson, ) The viewer struggles to keep up with the mystery until they realize they are supposed to be confused.
