Motion Pictures

• Actors, directors, producers, and other people from diverse heritages have contributed to America's film industry. Hollywood films have always been a sort of a mirror of the United States— although often a controversial and simplified one. This encyclopedia entry surveys how motion pictures in the US have contributed to the consolidation of the melting pot American society but also to the dissemination and strengthening of racial and ethnic prejudices.
