After comparing these two images I don't see too much of a difference other then one looks like it's in more of a palace like structure from the chair and the pillar in the back while the other is outside with the common folk. I guess the representation of middle eastern people in film is not something I pay attention to. I'm usually more focused on African and African American representation. Whenever I see comparisons like this I always think of what possible pictures they could have used for us (African Americans) and our representation in Hollywood. I believe that the Hollywood lense is very narrow in general in dealing with "others". It would be interesting for someone to collect a bunch of images of different groups of people as represented in Hollywood.
