Hotel Babylon

This essay with be showing how ethnicity is represented in the film. In the film Hotel Babylon there are many different ethnicity shown. Hotel Babylon is set in a hotel and the film is based on employees which work in the hotel.
        In the mise en scene of Hotel Babylon we see a black man talking to another black man, it seems like they were Friends from before because of there conversation. the black man was shocked to see the other man and we can see this from his facial expression. The other black man seemed like a stereotypical black man but how come he can afford to be in the hotel and the tattoos and the way he talks makes him seem stereotypical. The maids who work in the hotel are doing favour for more money. We see them enter a japans mans room the man shows them the money and expects them to strip but one of the women  work out. The french maid continues, french maids are stereotypically seen as attractive.
 In another scene we see a women giving a man tissue paper who had complained about not having tissue paper in the toilet. She says ' it has happened hundred times this week'. This shows us that she is in charge of the maids and could be there manger. In another clip we see a women and a man who look like they are in charge of the hotel by the way they are dressed. They are going to check on the chiefs to see if they are getting along. We see the chiefs in the kitchen acting like the get along but when the women and the man leave, the get into an argument and the shot Italian man raise a knife which seem like he is aggressive. The women who is in charge of the maids sees the french maid walking out of the room closing her dress, this may give a wrong expression to her manger.
        When focusing on the sound we hear music from the japans mans room while the maid is striping. We are able to notice the way the black mans Friend is talking is not posh and may be odd in the hotel compared to the other customers. We are also able to notice the accents the employees such as the french maid who sound french and the japans man who does not talk but makes wired sounds. Also the Italian man who has an Italian ascent and the other people all sound British.
      when focusing on the camera we are able to see close ups of all the characters to shows us the ethnicity an what they look like. Such as close up on the black man to show us his facial expression. we also see a long shot of the black man walking this show us that he is not a stereotypical black man and he was wearing a suit which makes him look professional.
    to conclude i am able to tell that ethnicity is represent as a stereotype for each character in the clip. the majority of the character live up to the stereotype and who it is portrayed.
