| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation reflects the history of stereotyping process in the American movie industry as the endeavor is to examine the role of movies in affecting the public opinion and shaping the political decision towards the Middle East. Distorted images against the Middle Easterners mainly Muslims are established through different means like books and journals. Motion pictures is also exploited to spread such an image whether directly or indirectly, as visual lens have a tremendous role in affecting the heart and the mind of viewers more than written tools many political messages are screened. The research is based on the selection of two famous movies Syriana (2005) and Body of Lies (2008) as case studies. These films reveal notions of 'otherness' and symbolism which are the basis of ''Modern Orientalism'' that in turn are linked with Islam and terrorism. The Investigation concludes that the Arab-Muslims are portrayed negatively in most American movies, and it is an extension of American ideology that has embedded within imperialistic interests in the Middle East. | ar |
