Understanding Self and Others

After observance the ikon crash a peer of times, I concluded to mainly focalise on Anthony who is played by Ludacris, who is an Afri raise Ameri domiciliate car thief. I matte that Anthony was a good caseful to elect for this character analysis because in my nonion he is the iodine character who had iodine view at the beginning of the movie, and by the end his views seemed to tot bothy turn al ab bring out. He was a very stereotypical hu partkind. Anthonys view of state from an different colour, race, sex activity or economic human body was potently onwardensive, he assumed that pureness passel were invariably racist towards benighteds. Did you see each white batch waiting an arcminute and a half for spaga cutti(Haggis, 2004) Anthony was under the moving-picture show that although the waitress was black, she adage that they were black and were non going to tip. Anthonys views of all some different race they his birth, is very nix, except in his eye s African American people should all commence together, and n eer go once against each other. Bias is not a bad word. Biases is an attitude or belief- its not until we act it emerge in behaviour that our bias takes someone else- it may advantage or disadvantage an undivided or a group( Valenti, 2011).I matte up that Anthony was very bias to cultures outside of his own, he was very stereotypical, with that creation verbalise, I would parcel out him to commit a very negative attitude towards others with a different racial background. She got colder as soon as she saw us (Haggis, 2004), this was said by Anthony after noticing that Jean linked ramp ups with her hubby. Anthony effective jumped to a conclusion that just because she was a white girl, she grabbed her husbands arm to protect her from the black men. I gauge he is very self conscious(p) and hypothecates that everyone has racial quotation outline 3 iscrimination towards him. this white women sees dickens b lack guys who count on like ucla students strolling down the sidewalk and her answer is blind fear( Haggis, 2004). He is very bias, because if instead of it having been Jean and her husband manner of walking down the street, if it was Christine and her husband, I am super sure that he would not of make those comments that he did, after all that being said, he decided to steal theyre truck anyways, just because they were white, and assumed racial discrimination.When Anthony communicated with others he was the one being racist, and he assumed people do decisions effectuate on their race. A perfect fashion model of that is when he was talking to his mate incision who is black, tho is not African American like himself. Anthony No, no, no, make up that voodoo-ass affaire off of in that respect right now asshole I go to bed you just didnt song St. Christopher voodoo. Mans the patron saint of travelers, dog. Anthony You had a dialogue with God, huh? What did God say? Go forth, my son, and retire from big slobbery suction rings on every dashboard you find? wherefore the hell do you do that? calamus Look at the way your wacky ass drive, because ask me that again (IMDB, 1990) Although throughout the whole movie tool was Anthonys best buddy, and he was ever with him, he cool it did not desire in what barb opined in, he made fun of beak because he valued to endow a statue of a paragon on the dashboard of the truck that was STOLEN, from the conjoin couple. Anthony talks to others as if they argon always incorrect or stupid. Anthony That waitress size us up in two seconds. Were black and black people dont citation abstract 4 tip. So she wasnt gonna gaga her time.Now somebody like that? Nothing you can do to castrate their mind. diaphysis So, uh how to a greater extent than did you leave? Anthony You expect me to pay for that affable of gain? (IMDB,1990). This is another good utilization of how he interacts with others, he thinks e veryone fronts down to him, at the beginning of the movie he utter that all black people cross together, plainly after going to a restaurant and getting this poor service from a black waitress, he still finds away to turn it around as if people were hating on him because he is black, and took it into his own hands and decided to walk out without paying.He made it seem like he got poor service because he did not tip, but maybe the waitress was the scarce one working and was extremely take? , No according to Anthony everyone he interacts with his racist. In the beginning of the movie Anthony came out as a stuck up black man that was always right, and never wrong. He lived by the motto Black people stick with theyre own kind . His hot peter on the other hand took into stipulation of others, and tried to help Anthony understand but he was too stubborn.In the beginning of the movie, Peter and Anthony had no way of getting around so Peter waved down the bus, for them to take Anth ony was shook by the fact and said you have no idea wherefore they put them big windows on sides of buses do you? Peter was curious was to why Anthony ruling they put big windows on buses, any other soul would just know they are in that location just to allow some natural lighting in the bus, and to open windows on warm days, but Anthony stated One reason only, to lower the people of colour who are cut down to riding on them. Anthony again presume that only dark people are meant to ride the bus and the Character epitome 5 reason windows are on buses is so that people could look interior and laugh at them. Later on in the movie Peter and Anthony ran oer a china man and Anthony cute to ditch the Chinese man, and drive away. Peter consequently explained to Anthony how if they left him laying on the ground there was a mellowed possibility that he would die. Anthony whence began to understand, so they provided him for him and pulled him out from under the truck. Later on in the movie, Anthony was then seen riding on the bus.It goes to show that his attitudes in the beginning of the movie did not reflect who is was near the end. He slowly began to get a line that not everybody was against him because he was black. A specific snap that very caught my attention is when Anthony took the Chinese mans truck and brought it to the shop to get cleaned up, and then completed there were a gang of Asians in the back of the truck that had been locked up for only God knows how long, The man at the shop offered Anthony vitamin D$ a body, and he decided to turn down the offer, and adopt them into the city. He then gave money to one of them to go buy everybody chop suey.I set up that very positive of him to do, which rightfully showed that there was a turning point from him, and he started to see situations in a more mature manner. I think the character that I feel I can relate to best is Jean Cabot. I think that I relate to her most is because when I was young, I was at my grandmothers home plate who lives in Jane and Finch, where the majority of the population is dark-skinned people, and I heard a peach and just assumed it was a beef from a ordnance, and I went crazy and blamed it all on black people because they all have guns. I was then freaking out and made my grandmother ock all the doors, and whenever I seen a black soul I would hide in fear. The scene where Jean was still in semiconsciousness from her truck being stolen, and Daniel the Character Analysis 6 Latino was changing her lock, she freaked out on her husband because of his appearance, and assumed that he was a gang member, when really he was an innocent guy who changes locks for a living. I feel that I relate a lot to her also because, I have had many people turn their backs on me when I need them most, and the one person you never ideal you would rely on turns out to be your greatest friend ever.Me and Jean seem to judge a book by its draw out, when it is not the cover that is crucial, its the information written in the book that is important. A few scenes that had a strong response from me was right in the beginning of the movie, when Jean and her husband were so innocent walking down the sidewalk, not causing any harm and Anthony and Peter noticed Jean link arms with her husband and they just assumed they did that because they were black, so they then decided to steal their truck for absolutely no reason.It is so alarming to think that black people think like that, it makes me wonder, if I am ever in public and I decide to hold on to my boyfriends arm, and a black person seems to notice, does that mean my aliveness is in danger? Another scene from the movie that evoked a strong reaction from me was when Officer Ryan pulled over Christine and her African husband for literally nothing, and he disgustingly physically put his hands on her in ways an officer should never purge think of.This scene had me worried and excite at the same(p) time, it also worries me because if I was ever put in a situation like that I am not sure as to what I would needly do, would I open my lip to him knowing he has a gun attached to his belt? or would I just accept the fact that a dirty pig just pique me physically. When Daniel was trying to wedge the store owners lock, he tried to explain to him in Character Analysis 7 a hush manner that in order to fix the lock he needed to change the door, and the store owner didnt believe him, he was constantly calling Daniel a liar nd a cheater, and was utter that Daniel was trying to steal his money. It made me mental disturbance because Farhad was only saying that he was a cheater and a liar because of his appearance, when really Daniel is an innocent guy who works trying for his money, and just because he has tattoos people get the wrong impression. I was so vex at the scene where the store owner showed up at Daniels abide with the intention to shoot him without even confron ting him of the situation, but when his daughter Laura ran out to save her daddy, Farhad then decided to shoot, with the impression that he shot the little girl it got my eyes to water.I was then relieved that the gun had blank bullets and did not harm either of them. The scene that I felt very offended by was when the man in the shop offered Anthony 500$ a person for the innocent Asians that were found at the back of the truck, why would this man want innocent Asians for, I am so proud of Anthony that he realized that money was not the only thing in the sphere, and he allowed the Asians to experience life outside of the truck that they probably thought they would never see again.This movie has changed my perceptive of others because of the fact that in this movie there were so many different stereotypes and so many people being judge because of their race. I was never really aware(p) of the types of discrimination that went on in the world until really watching this movie, it re ally open(a) up my eyes. It is not fair to be treated based on your race, everybody was put on this earth to do the same thing, there is no reason that someone should be discriminated.It really broke my nerve centre at some of the Character Analysis 8 situations that occurred in the movie, I about couldnt handle them. Sometimes we are to blind to see how a airheaded little comment can affect somebody so much, and really meet theyre feelings. This movie really changed my look on other cultures, I realize that everyone is equally the same. I am quick-witted that Anthony realized that not only coloured people take the bus and he put his pride aside and actually rode the bus, because in eality the bus is for anybody, there is no such thing as he does this because he is black or she is only good at doing that because she is Spanish. It is very important to keep in mind other peoples feelings, imagine being the only white person in a class of majority colour people, would you want to be treated like the outsider? Or did you want to be treated the exact same way as the other 23 people in the classroom.
