Before seeing this film I was totally oblivious to all the degrading images American films show about Middle Eastern people. Films such as Aladdin, True lies, Father of the Bride 2, and Gladiator make Arabs look as if they are uneducated, mean, terrorist, who should not be looked at as a real human beings. This documenter states that 25% of all American movies contain Arabic slurs. This truly upsets me because, what are these Middle Eastern people suppose to think when watching these films? I hope that everyone who lives in America knows that not all people from the Middle East are bad. Some people are just like us, trying to get through life day by day. In this generation I can only hope that the Middle East is shown fairly in Hollywood. We students need to replace these stereotypes by taking the initiative to learn more about the Middle Eastern culture.
