The nominees of the 76th Academy Awards (
Oscar) were announced yesterday. But what I wanna say here is not listing the movies. I'm talkin' about what you sometimes see in
American movies including
The Lord of the Rings. This movie is nominated for
11 awards!! But it's an offensive movie and
Non-Caucasian people have been teased in it. If you get in to the detail of some other
American movies, you'll find that it happens in many of them. Consider
Bruce Almighty although I like it very much but there's a scene that bullies go for
Bruce and beat him up. They have been all selected from colored guys.
Hispanic and
Black fellows. Same thing in many other movies. In
Indiana Jones and the temple of doom, East Indian people and in
Raiders of the lost Ark,
Egyptian (and in a wider view,
Arabs) are teased and looked down.
