- Abstract
This research addresses the portrait of happiness of the American and European migrant from the cinematographic point of view. 2019 exceeded 271 million migrants in the world, 3.5% of the global population, according to the Migration Data Portal. This study aims to provide data for reflection on the reception of foreigners in receiving countries. Some of the main films on immigration have been selected for this work, that met the four criteria that we required for our sample: current films (21st century or very close to it), well received by the public, focused on the American or European migratory experience and directed by well-known. The concept of happiness has been investigated, a dissertation that crystallizes in the elaboration of an analysis sheet, to examine, according to the cinematographic representation, the happiness of the immigrant. The first conclusions suggest that both the European and American immigrant shown on the screen enjoy little happiness, since both America and Europe are closed to helping the foreigner with migratory policies represented by the cinema as cruel and inhumane.
