Second, it features a nonwhite group or person who experiences conflict and struggle with others that is particularly dangerous or threatening to their life and livelihood. Third, a White person (the savior) enters the milieu and through their sacrifices, as a teacher, mentor, lawyer, military hero, aspiring writer, or wannabe Native American warrior, is able to physically save—or at least morally redeem—the person or community of folks of color, by the film's end. Examples of this genre include films like <i><a href="/wiki/Glory_(1989_film)" title="Glory (1989 film)">Glory</a></i> (1989), <i><a href="/wiki/Dangerous_Minds" title="Dangerous Minds">Dangerous Minds</a></i> (1995), <i><a href="/wiki/Amistad_(film)" title="Amistad (film)">Amistad</a></i> (1997), <i><a href="/wiki/Finding_Forrester" title="Finding Forrester">Finding Forrester</a></i> (2000), <i><a href="/wiki/The_Last_Samurai" title="The Last Samurai">The Last Samurai</a></i> (2003), <i><a href="/wiki/Half_Nelson_(film)" title="Half Nelson (film)">Half Nelson</a></i> (2006), <i><a href="/wiki/Freedom_Writers" title="Freedom Writers">Freedom Writers</a></i> (2007), <i><a href="/wiki/Gran_Torino" title="Gran Torino">Gran Torino</a></i> (2008), <i><a href="/wiki/Avatar_(2009_film)" title="Avatar (2009 film)">Avatar</a></i> (2009), <i><a href="/wiki/The_Blind_Side_(film)" title="The Blind Side (film)">The Blind Side</a></i> (2009), <i><a href="/wiki/The_Help_(film)" title="The Help (film)">The Help</a></i> (2011).<sup id="cite_ref-Hughey2015_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hughey2015-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>The films of the <a href="/wiki/Blaxploitation" title="Blaxploitation">blaxploitation</a> genre of the 1970s reflected discontent over the social and racial inequality of non-white people in the United States and functioned as counterbalance to the trope of the white savior. According to some scholars, such as Peter Lang, continued cultural <a href="/wiki/Hypersegregation" class="mw-redirect" title="Hypersegregation">hypersegregation</a> in the 1980s led to the common belief, by many American white people, that the nation had reached a post-racial state of social relations, which resulted in a backlash against the racial and ethnic diversity of the cinema of the previous decades, on screen during the 1960s and the 1970s; thus, the popular cinema of the 1990s and the early 2000s featured the white savior narrative. That reappearance of the white-savior narrative occurred because the majority of white people in the United States had little substantive social interaction with people of different races and ethnic groups.<sup id="cite_ref-temple1_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-temple1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p> The White Savior trope's prevalence continues in often critically acclaimed films. Joseph Vogel writes of the trope in <i>Django Unchained</i>:</p><blockquote><p>In the crucial climactic scene, the pattern of white centrality holds. It is [the white doctor] Schultz, not [the freed slave] Django, who, racked by conscience kills Calvin Candie, and in doing so, sacrifices his own life. When asked by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. why he decided to make King Schultz the Christ figure, Tarantino claimed he was simply drawing on the tropes of the western.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p>A study of 50 films between 1987 and 2011 deemed to be white savior films found that 36% of studied films were produced by the 6 major studios (<a href="/wiki/Sony_Pictures" title="Sony Pictures">Sony</a>, <a href="/wiki/Universal_Pictures" title="Universal Pictures">Universal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount</a>, <a href="/wiki/Twentieth_Century_Fox" class="mw-redirect" title="Twentieth Century Fox">Twentieth Century Fox</a>/<a href="/wiki/Fox_Searchlight" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox Searchlight">Fox Searchlight</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Warner_Brothers" class="mw-redirect" title="Warner Brothers">Warner Brothers</a>).
