Abstract

Stories in films are based on social realities in people's lives, embedding messages behind them. Each film is packed with unique characters, events and issues reflecting aspects of life from a particular perspective. One of which is the principles of black feminism in the main characters and to analyze how economic and racial factors influence the character's decision to confront existing injustices depicted in Gary Grey’s Set It Off (1996). The method used is a qualitative research method. Data collection is conducted to sort and understand the research topic by using data from scenes, dialogues, words, and phrases obtained from the film. The main theories used in this research are the Critical Race theory by Kimberlé Crenshaw and the Feminist Economics theory by Marilyn Waring. The findings reveal that the film encompasses principles of black feminism such as racial discrimination, sexism and social class which are portrayed by each main character in the film. This article also depicts the influence of economic and racial factors on the character's decisions in confronting existing injustices. Analyzing this film aims to trigger and enrich the analysis of how films depict the struggle of black women with various problems, especially racial and economic issues.

Abstract

This study offers a critical analysis of an AI-generated video, circulated in early 2025, which depicts a fictional plan by former U.S. President Donald Trump to reconstruct Gaza as a hyper-modern, Westernized urban space. Through a postcolonial lens informed by Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, this research examines how the video functions as a digital artifact that reproduces colonial power dynamics. The analysis reveals that the video—featuring luxury amenities, a monumental Trump statue, and the complete erasure of Palestinian people—constructs the West as a benevolent savior while symbolically eliminating indigenous presence and agency. Specific visual tropes, such as faceless children moving toward a futuristic city, the glorification of Trump as a heroic figure, and scenes of elite leisure, aestheticize systemic oppression and reframe military occupation as benign intervention. By converting trauma into spectacle and domination into development, the video exemplifies how AI-generated content can perpetuate Orientalist ideologies under the guise of satire or innovation. This research concludes that such digital representations are not politically neutral but actively reinforce imperial narratives, marginalize Palestinian voices, and normalize hierarchies of power. It underscores the urgency of critically engaging with emerging media technologies as sites of ideological reproduction in a post-9/11 world marked by enduring Islamophobia and digital Orientalism.
