People in Wheelchairs in World Cinema after 2000
Trojánek, Hynek ; Ortová, Marie (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses full-length feature films created since the year 2000, in which the main character depicts a person in a wheelchair. The aim of the thesis is to compare current integration and inclusion theories concerned with these people to an image that the viewer can create about these people and their integration into society based on the movies. First part of the thesis briefly summarizes the progression of society's attitude towards people with disabilities. Author is mostly concerned with the current situation, which he demonstrates on international treaties and specific legal examples that have appeared in the Czech Republic. The complex relationship between reality and its film imitation is depicted in the next part of the thesis. Then, in the main part, the author analyzes and thematically categorizes the findings from chosen films. In the conclusion, the author presents his findings that there is a remarkable discrepancy between the attitude presented by society towards people in wheelchairs and the attitude that the films produced by society practically imply.
