Response to Bell Hooks

Bell Hooks talks about Hollywood as one of the sources which constitutes rascism and sexism. She talks about Hollywood, which consists of white male directors and producers, who can show any images they feel will ad "zing" to their film. For example they with chose a black theif instead of a white. She does not approve of the way they portray women in films either. I believe film is a beautiful art form and those kind of things should be shown on film. It is the viewers who take these images and create their own thoughts about it. In the film, Kids, a black man gets beaten down by a group of kids. Hooks says that man was chosen to be beat up solely because he was black. I disagree because a black man is in the group of kids getting beat up. I have seen that film and it contains many different races in all different ways. It does not target black people by any means. I think Bell Hooks makes a lot of strong points but goes a little over the top.
