Essay, 2015

Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung

After its first movie in 1911, Hollywood rose after centuries to the world-renowned Dream Factory, a name given due to the dreams that are created in their movies. Everyone knows Hollywood and has seen at least one of its movies. If you have seen more than one, it is conspicuous that most of the villains are Muslims. Moreover, Hollywood often becomes criticized for anti-Muslim propaganda. Plato once wrote, “Those who tell the stories also rule society.” (The Republic) So the question is: do they really support or make a concept of an Islamic enemy, or do they just adapt to public opinion? I am going to investigate the issue by using different movies and their worldwide popularity as an example and by showing the increase in fear of Islam after 9/11.
