News media,as far as we know,has quite irreplaceable function and influence in urban development and our daily life.As the fastest and widest carrier of social information transmission,the position and content transmission of news report express the national superstructure consciousness,which can best reflect and maintain the mainstream values of society.However,the impact of news reporting on racial conflicts in the United States is two-sided: when news authenticity plays a positive role to promote good,maintaining social stability and economic development,while Urban violence,terrorist shootings and other vicious social events caused by racial conflicts in the United States,because of the media's real reports,convey the warnings to the public in a timely manner.Also,many American news media also have the potential to stir up public sentiment and fuel the fire.In order to seek interests and different ideologies,news reports exaggerate and distort the facts of ethnic conflicts,which has a bad influence on the development of the situation.As a reflection of the current social situation,films always reflect the realistic problems from the perspective of artistic design.With the development of social and the improvement of living standard,the representative works which can interpret the black image are emerging from many films in the United States.According to the reality of social background in the United States,the author tries to analyze the relationship between the news reports and artistic films towards the same angle and question.As to better understand the racial relationship between black and white people in American society,it is also essential to explore the storyline of the movie and black characters,characteristics and types from racial films and the spiritual core conveyed by them.Ethnic conflict this topic from the United States,the author from news reports and discusses the scope of the two ethnic films,selected the ten years the mainstream of ethnic conflict event reports which won the Oscar race as the case study sample from 2010 to2020.To further understand the race in American society,explore the race relations in the film and the role of black art and the complexity of violent clashes in the realistic society.In the white-dominated United States,the mainstream culture of the white people guides the values of the media,and the biased media can't get rid of reporting diversified news events from the standpoint of the white people.At the same time,compared with more practical news reports,even though racial films have been developing continuously in recent years,the images of black people on the screen have been in a state of rewriting,and the trend of cultural homogenization has become more and more serious.The idealized theatrical expression with Hollywood imagination construction is always contrary to the reality.In this article,the writer selects four representative cases,contradiction focus on friction between black people and white police,shooting and violence law enforcement causing her to suffocate to death,the mainstream media to real events,rapid,objective reporting,caused a high degree of social concern,from promoting American race level,to resolve the problem.However,in a capitalist society of the United States,even cries of freedom of the press is always the loudest,also still because motivated by left and right sides,such as politics and capital led to ethnic conflict events,news reports as added fuel to the fire: "see news after their joined the uprising" is often the biggest impact of news and primary purpose,eye-catching inflammatory reports for the victims of the malignant event and family are the secondary damage.In order to make profits,the news media in the United States in the screening of news reports,release,interview and other aspects of the imperceptibly racial prejudice thinking pattern to process the transmission of events.Never to solve social problems and the methods of positive action plan do major surveys and reports,never black of weak groups of misery and trouble to do detailed survey,the audience should be carried out for this kind of news reports dialectical judgment,use critical thinking distinguish such confusing and misleading news reports.Police brutality and public discontent have never subsided the outcry for social protests.However,in the Vanity Fair of Hollywood movies,it is said that art comes from life.American films never dare to tear off the FIG leaf to reflect social reality.Race movie appear black in the process of hundred years development role gradually diversified,the traditional stereotype is broken,rise further black,the black and even beyond the white in the movie is more important to become a social existence,black characters in Hollywood movies out and arrange more and more important part for the creation in black media.Images of the blacks and whites in the United States population needs to be taken into consideration toward racial equality and the development.In the process of racial contradictions in reality,the film and television context may have made some efforts to reconcile the relationship between the two sides,but by contrast,the social status of black and white people almost undifferentiated in the film,which is inconsistent by the reality.In 2018,the award-winning film Green Book,which was set in the era of apartheid and based on a true story,was a guide book for black people to take a ride or drive across the country.The author from the role of the film show,the plot development,the characters of movie,as long as their relationships,the thought of the content and layout analysis,in order to see the hope of trying to convey from film level vision of race relations in the integration,the collision of mainstream culture and the black culture just despite the film a lot of true,character set contrast and drama,they still do not have completely the representation of the two groups.From the perspective of news reports and screen works,news reports also have "scripts",and screen works are virtual illusions.In the United States,although in the news reports,the mass media have more content related to black groups,describe them as the the disadvantaged people,which form a stereotype gradually,may causing more social concerns,but every vicious violent conflict is always followed by politicians' whiteshaping peace and false promises,and racial contradictions become the hype topic of the struggle between parties.Ordinary people are led by the nose in the complicated public opinion environment,while there is no effective way to truly convey their voice from the bottom up.With the development of social economy and the continuous improvement of related industries,the performance of black characters in film works has become more diversified.People will break the inflexible impression that makes the past more stereo plump,but the artistic creation of racial integration to the audience's wishful thinking to preconceptions,bloody reality to embodiment in screen works best for exaggerated satire and funny warm welcome.The 21 st century is a time of continuous integration of multi-racial and multi-ethnic diversity,although the social backgrounds of China and the United States are very different.China has no such extreme racial conflict,but in order to further understand American society of racial problems,it is important to explore the race relations in the film and the role of black art and the complexity of violent clashes in the realistic society.For the Chinese audience,who watch so many American mainstream news reports of the ethnic conflict events,may get influenced or puzzled as well.In such messy public opinion field,the art world provides various thoughts and thinking,it is not easy to keep sober understanding of the social reality.Whether from the mainstream media news reports or the image creation of screen works,they are worth giving us more reflection and reference.
