 A heavily stereotypical film I have watched would be Pochahontas. This movie is stereotypical for both gender and race. A very problematic stereotype noticeable in Pocahontas would be the "damsel in distress". In many Disney movies the women is always in need for saving which paints a portrayal that all women are weak and need a big strong burly man to save them. The fact that the movie is based off a person who ACTUALLY existed and the storyline is completely changed makes the way people view Native Americans history in a different light. The white man in the movie is depicted as some hero and caretaker for Pochahontas when in reality that was not historically accurate. Pocahontas was forced to leave her land and for the movie to make her fall in love with the man capable of that is just insensitive. The stereotypes in this movie is just disrespectful, inaccurate, and terrible.
