The 13th Warrior

Intercultural Relationships and Film:
The 13th Warrior

To discuss The 13th Warrior, it is important to have a background of the origins of the film in both literature and history.

Original art is always better than a reproduction

The transcendent experience of seeing an original piece of art in a museum is substantially better than any reproduction could possibly be.

Crocodile Dundee

Stereotypes and Film: Crocodile Dundee

The three strongest of the stereotypes featured were the perceptions of 20th century Australians, the “fish out of water” trope, and the view of transgendered people at the time.
