Q: Generate a question that has the following answer: Esther Jeeter for the following movie plot: Illusions depicts a fictional 1940s Hollywood studio and defines film as a powerful historian, however, one that omits many cultures from its history. The protagonist Mignon Dupree expresses the need for "films that give the public situations and characters that they can recognize as part of their own lives." Illusions is a candidly self-aware film because it takes place in a fictional studio, and its characters discuss Hollywood's film production directly. The films title refers to the faults in cinemas portrayal of reality. Furthermore, Illusions also points to its own artificiality, identifying itself as a film object. Illusions features two invisible blacks: Mignon Dupree, invisible as an African American studio executive passing for white, and Esther Jeeter, as the invisible singer hired to dub the singing parts for white film star Leila Grant.Self-reflexive films identify themselves as cinematic objects by calling attention to the filmmaking process. Using editing techniques that depart from realism and/or film content that portrays features of the filmmaking process indicate to the viewer that, in addition to a central narrative, this is a film about a film. This film begins with a slow-zoom on a rotating Oscar and the following voice-over which is a quotation from Ralph Ellison's 1949 essay The Shadow and the Act: "To direct an attack upon Hollywood would indeed be to confuse portrayal with action, image with reality. In the beginning was not the shadow, but the act, and the province of Hollywood is not action, but illusion."Parallel instances of self-reflexive images appear, that apply to the medium of film then to the film itself. Illusions begins with an aged "3-2-1" film-leader-countdown. This exact footage is repeated within the film, in the studio, when the filmmakers are reviewing the movie of Leila Grant singing. The film of the white starlet plays on a screen alongside Esther as she sings in the dark studio. This juxtaposition implies Hollywood's institutional racism and highlights an...

Question: Generate a question that has the following answer: Eventually Greta and then Marge can. for the following movie plot: Hannah (Sharon Gless) is spending her final years in a nursing home, recalling memories from her past, all built around the relationship with her one true love, Rachel. Unable to walk and confined to her bed, Hannah recalls her childhood with Rachel back on a farm in Michigan. Now Rachel is comatose and being kept down the hall in the same home as Hannah, yet Rachels family will not allow Hannah to see her lover of so many years.Throughout the story, Hannah speaks to a younger image of Rachel in her room, and reflects on distraught episodes in earlier years when she left Rachel, such as her time stationed with the WAC in New Mexico during WWII, and when she felt she needed time to be alone by living in Alaska. Those times apart still plague their past: as we later learn, domestic Rachel was married to a man and quite repressed about her love for Hannah, and the butch Hannah felt she needed to escape the religious and sexual repression that surrounded Rachel, so she took another lover in the WAC and found solitude by fishing in Alaska.In the present, Hannah continues to plead with Rachels family represented by her inhibited granddaughter Marge to see the comatose Rachel. Marge coldly tells Hannah that she was always the source of trouble in Rachels life, especially since she travelled away so often, and does not want Hannah to upset her any further.A high school student named Greta shows up for a typical assignment of interviewing the elderly about their past. Hannah rattles off some basic facts about growing up during the Great Depression and serving as a WAC in WWII, as well as some of her many travels. Hannah rather casually invites Greta in on her conversations with the fantasy Rachel, and Greta relates somewhat to her situation since her mother died, and she still talks to her.
