Abstract
This Mémoire is an attempt to clarify and show the relationship between the Hollywood industry and American foreign policy. It detects the United States policy and its portrayal in Hollywood movies, particularly the concept of the so-called "Rogue States." It also investigates how Hollywood portrays those states, mainly north Korea and the Middle East states since Hollywood plays a great and significant role in depicting US policy toward those states. This reflects the importance of the interconnectedness between US foreign policy and Hollywood as the latter acts as a mirror that reflects the former's policy toward its enemies. Therefore, this Mémoire investigates how the projection of the rogue states in the movie industry is, namely North Korea and the Middle East, in the film Team America: World Police (2004). The Mémoire concludes that Arab images in the Hollywood film industry have always been portrayed negatively whereby the US represents "Good" that fights and defeats "Evil."
