Overview

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Film Science, Sultan Moulay Sliman University, language: English, abstract: After an overview on the stereotyped view of American cinema on different cultures, the paper proceeds to explore how Hollywood represents Moroccans and how it perpetuates an orientalist imaginary in the case of the American Film Babel . Although on a manifest level this movie represents Moroccans without offending their culture, it approaches them on a latent level through a repertory of denigrating stereotypes belonging to a Eurocentric tradition. Accordingly, due to a racist undercurrent pervading its representation of Morocco, Babel fails in conveying a universal humanistic message claimed all along the plot of the film.
