"Said argues that the continuity of Orientalism into the present can be found in influential images, particularly through the Cinema of the United States, as the West has now grown to include the United States. Many blockbuster feature film, such as the Indiana Jones series~
The Mummy films, and Disney's Aladdin film series demonstrate the imagined geographies of the East.[50] The films usually portray the lead heroic characters as being from the Western world, while the villains often come from the East.
The representation of the Orient has continued in film, although this representation does not necessarily have any truth to it."
