I have found this chapter to be interesting to me as it pertains to the field in which i hope to venture. Movies and the impact of images is a subject of importance as i hope it creates a movement for the Tibetan people. I hope to make documentaries that will reveal the suffering of Tibetan people inside their own country under Chinese Government Occupation and a flow of awareness is spread. This is my goal.
That is precisely why movies and images have so much influence, it creates an awareness that cant be ignored. It can create a movement, it can inspire and create opinion. Aside from this aspect, it is a world that can be molded. It is truly a visual depiction of your mind, worlds that you have created. Personally, a good story gets my attention every time.
However, nowadays it has become a little difficult to find original films. A film in which a concept has not been used, or characters that have not been recycled. Especially in Hollywood. Yet, it has reigned and dominated the film industry worldwide. The American culture or what it is supposedly permeates through the films in which we create and other people are watching them. Therefore it has cultural imperialistic tendencies. People overseas have admired, imitated and envied the lives of the American characters or American situation they see onscreen. They ask for more each time. Hollywood films dominate the international box office hits. American Films are dubbed in foreign languages and shown in theaters.
