The title named: The Influence of Globalism and the Audience Have on Aladdin 2019

Key Words

Post-colonialism, Orientalism, Mise en scene, film language

I am interested in the subject of post-colonialism, so I have a divergent thinking on it. The part I am most interested in is Orientalism. So along this line, I found something related to my major, the movie Aladdin.I realized that Mise en scene and narrative of this film could be considered from the perspective of orientalism. However, I am not sure what interesting subtopic are remaining for the post-colonialism theme. I want to get some advice.

Also, for the title that has been set, I have some theories I would like to explore but I am still working on some more literature references.

Some potential content of this paper including:

1. Orientalism

2. Criticism about the new Aladdin and the regional audiences’ thoughts about it

3. Methods and features of this new narrative by the director

4. As a cultural symbol, how such folklore is affected by culture clashing

5. What parallels can be drawn for the film and the original tale

6. How the increasing awareness of culture preservation and the concept of globalism affects the decisions made by Disney in remaking this film.
