There have been many twists and turns in the way the black experience was represented in mainstream American cinema. But the repetition of stereotypical figures, taken from the “era of slavery”, has never completely disappeared (Hall, 1997). A stereotype can be described as a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of ​​a particular type of person or thing (Oxford University Press, 2014) and can affect the target by getting their hands on a few images or simple, lively, memorable and easily grouped ideas. and widely recognized, of a person and reduce everything to specific traits and exaggerate them (Hall, 1997). One of the most well-known stereotypes is undoubtedly the "black stereotype", which we find in all media productions, whether news, films, music videos, reality TV or other programs and forms of entertainment. Beginning around 1830, the history of African Americans is a centuries-old struggle against oppression and discrimination, and because of these major issues, popular depictions of racial "difference" during slavery gave rise to two main themes that are today considered stereotypes of black face. the first is that all black people contain a subordinate status of laziness and are naturally born and suited to servitude and the second is that they are reduced to the signifiers of their physical difference, such as thick lips, frizzy hair and a face broad and nosed (Hall, 1997) as well as the fact that they are just a tool used in “white” entertainment. Soon, stereotypes of black people in popular representation became so common that cartoonists, illustrators, and caricaturists were able to create an entire gallery of “black guys” with just a few strokes of the pen (Hall, 1997). A world-famous example would be “B...... middle of paper ......f. Thomas Dunwitty, the white boss, relates to this stereotype because he is so blinded by the concept of Blackface that he cannot see the fetishism going on around him and therefore becomes an object himself since he is playing a role reversed in the film. During the 1830s, this stereotype initially gained popularity between the 16th and 19th centuries and spread like wildfire elsewhere, including Britain. Blackface was an important performance tradition in American theater that presented the Black person as castrated, missing, injured, and exposed for the visual gratification of White people (Gubar, 1997). Therefore, Hall's views, on his four theories, are reinforced in the film Bamboozled and the film received very good reviews as it was considered one of the most moving and revealing pieces of satire on Hollywood representation of African Americans to this day..
