visuality in the film Bamboozled

PROMPT # 1: VISUALITY

*****Watch the movie : Bamboozled, 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhnsaMLtQM8

Mitchell argues that the film Bamboozled is an excellent “case for thinking through the nature of stereotypes and the critical and artistic strategies for dealing with them” (2004:300). He describes it as a meta-film, that is a “film about the very process by which race is pictured” (Ibid.,308).
Please watch the full length of Bamboozled, then ****select one or two images from the film. Discuss how Spike Lee’s strategy for contesting what Hall calls “a racial regime of interpretation” works in these images, ****paying particular attention to the role of the visual. How do racial stereotypes work in general, and how do the stereotypes in Bamboozled work in particular?
Your analysis should draw upon key concepts from Weeks One through Four, such as:
hegemony/counter-hegemony, discourse, representation, coding, semiotics (sign/signifier/signified, denotative/connotative meaning), stereotypes (negative, positive, reversed, inhabited), irony/satire/tragedy/moral ambiguity, the gaze, corporeal/racial epidermal schema, interpellation and discipline etc.
It is up to you which of these concepts you choose to use as tools for your analysis. Depth, accuracy and creativity matter more than the number of concepts employed.
