Brian De Palma



















Brian De Palma's work generates ideas involving a lot of
negativity. His movies involve a lot of sex, drugs, and violence which is
very common in movies. However, Brian's use of effective cinematography reveals these
issues on a more extreme level. In this mind map, I also mentioned Hispanic because his
films include a lot of Hispanic people, perhaps he tries to reveal how the world see's Hispanic
people, in a stereotypical/racial way.
















Femme Fatal - 2002

















Carlito's Way, 1993
















Scarface, 1983

Thanks Sione,

There are the beginnings of an interesting essay topic here, but I'm wondering which angle you will take? Will you base your whole essay around the stereotypical depiction of Hispanic people in de Palma's movies? That could be quite a specific subject, and focusing on that would give structure to your essay.
