Culture and Film

Douglas Kellner wrote the article Cultural Studies, Multiculturalism, and Media Culture in a Journal for the University of California (UCLA). In this article, Kellner talks about how the ideological perspective of culture plays a role in our media, film and television. He discusses the different ways certain ideas of culture in film shape the way we watch a movie or television show. Using several movies, Kellner explains the different ways culture is depicted and also, how the viewer looks at these elements. The author uses cultural studies to analyse these different movies. He believes that these studies are important when trying to write about the culture in a film or television show.
