Authors : Meddahi Radhia . Braik Fethia .
Abstract
This article tackled the issue of the misrepresentation of Islam in American cinema. It investigated how this misrepresentation revived a sense of otherness in the minds of the American people and the world since the 9/11 attacks. Because of otherness and Orientalism, the values of Islam and the image of veiled Muslim women were disfigured. Everything related to Islam was misrepresented in American screen works. The Consumers of these cinematic contents have been and are still exposed to misrepresentation, misjudgment, and a confined image of the Hijab and Islam. Thus, this paper reviewed, analyzed and interpreted how cinema contributed to the distortion of Islam's image, and what can be done to face the cinematic Orientalism. The study relied on the shot analysis of two selected movies 'Iron Man' and 'Black Panther' and then concluded that the scenes, condensed with distorted images about Islam, served a speech that Muslims can oppose.
