In preparation for my essay on colonialism and Battlestar Galactica - can you give me some examples of recent films which would feature pervasively racist/colonial subtext?
I haven't yet seen Avatar, so I don't know how they handle the stuff (read: how much they fail and how much they try to be PC), and the one example that immediately jumps to my mind is of course Jackson's King Kong, but I'm sure I've missed out on a lot of recent blockbusters that utterly failed at race.
Any suggestions are welcome!
