I got 4 right, but that gave me 0%........... I do lots of quizzes, not just the ones where I know I can get good points. That's why I have learnt lots about things I was not aware of before.
Where you are from doesnt make a difference. Not having watched any, yes that does... But some of these you definitely could ve heard with seeing the movie. Circle of life and hakuna matata mainly.
I know; for some reason Disney is ashamed of it. I grew up with "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" and have seen the movie when I was young. I don't understand what's so bad about it. It's a great movie.
It's pretty dumb. But, people get upset over the depiction of African-Americans as being happy slaves, content with their station in life, even though the film contains no such depiction, as it is set in the 1870s *after* the Civil War.
Equally dumb, a lot of people get offended at the stereotypes contained in the film including use of Southern African-American dialects... which is like getting offended that the characters in Good Will Hunting had Bostonian accents, or getting offended over terrorists in movies being Arabs. Some stereotypes are just ignorant and wrong. But most stereotypes become stereotypes because they are accurate and common... if you made a movie about recently freed slaves in the American South of the late 19th century... and they were all speaking with received English pronunciation... would that be better? People are so dumb...
I'd recommend anyone wondering why people might be offended by a character depicted in this manner do some research into minstrelsy and try to understand how widespread it was. The amount of stereotypes about African Americans spread by it are incalculable and incalculably harmful. It's also pretty unlikely that a freed slave in this era would have suddenly had a simple and idyllic life--which is, by the way, a common stereotype spread by minstrelsy. The social problems created by slavery didn't end with the civil war, and neither did minstrelsy or its stereotypes. I'd challenge anyone to find reasonable evidence that these minstrelsy stereotypes were accurate or common. Exaggerated slang/improper English is also a minstrelsy stereotype. Go and research some of the speech used by former slaves. You will not find many who speak in the way you think African-Americans talked at that time. There are primary recorded interviews with freed slaves widely available. Do some research.
I've done research. What I said stands. People are dumb. Could point to a thousand other recent examples of this, too, that wouldn't even require any research. I mean, everything gets called racist or sexist these days even when (most of the time) the things being called that clearly are not. Be careful believing anything you see written on this or related subjects; virtually 100% of such articles and essays come with an obvious political agenda behind them. There's nothing wrong with Song of the South.
So it's not easy to get the songs title in English.
(I'm also not a big Disney fan, it's a long time ago I saw them, that doesn't help either... I got 5)
