Orientalist Attitudes in Film

One of the most extreme criticisms of Western society is that Western prejudices lead to erroneous information of Middle Eastern culture. Professor Edward Said of Columbia University began using the word "orientalism" in 1978, began depicting the Middle East and introducing the term "orientalism" that was influenced by the West. Saeed explains Orientalism and its influence; Orientalism is a concept based on the distinction between "East" between ontology and epistemology and (in most cases) "Western". Therefore, there are many writers including poets, novelists, philosophers, and politicians.

One of the first scholars who deeply explained these prejudic cultural encounters was Oriental Edward Said (1978). Although the main focus lies in the history of Western attitude towards orientalism in literature, Saeed does not take into account the importance of new technology and media in this unfair tradition spread. The stereotype that Toyo has been paying attention has been strengthened. The resources of television, movies, and all media forced the information to be increasingly standardized within the mold. "

Oriental scholars, usually Germans, are clearly opposed to European imperialism. People who regard the East as "another" have a signature of Said's arrogant colonialist attitude that they often oppose colonialism. For example, German Romantic philosopher Johan Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) defended the "unusual" against rationalistic assumptions of France and other imperialists. By ignoring these different orientalism traditions, Saeed helps turn the title of his book into a derogatory term rather than being used as a politically disapproved strike instead of "fascism" . The history of colonialism is a useful excuse for many modern diseases that plague non-Western countries, especially the Middle East Criticism is easily seen as a typical expression of orientalism.
