post # 6 "Listen to your heart" - racial and gender diversity

1. The movie I chose is called "Listen to your heart". In this movie it does reflect racial and gender diversity because in this movie the main character are a deaf girl and a caucasian boy and he has a black guy friend. This show a big variety of racial and gender diversity. In the movie the caucasian boy and the black boy worked together at a restaurant and they are best friends. At the end the caucasian guy had cancer and he told the black boy that they are brothers. and because the movie was cast in New York, there are people from other places too in this movie.
This kind of diversity is important in media because when they make a movie like that, there will be no gap between people. It will concoct every culture and every race together as a whole. They will bring peace and love to the world. And there not be complaints also. It will be fair for everybody and create equality.

2. I don't think there is really social or gender stereotypes present in the movie but there is a problem because the caucasian works at the restaurant and is not rich, so the main actress' mom doesn't want them to be together. There were also problem when the deaf girl went to school, her classmate looked down on her because she can't hear. The element that prevent being stereotypical is that they made the black guy and the white guy be best friends. And the white guy loves music but he is dating a deaf girl. In this case, there is no barrier between different relationships. On the other hand, it might be stereotyped by not putting the black guys photo on the poster, instead everyone who are on the poster is white.
