I did not appreciate the rampant sexist overtones of the bossy or overbearing woman needing to be conquered. While Percy, her direct male counterpart, was praised for his behaviours. Nor did I appreciate the original biblical message that women should submit themselves to their husbands, and that men need to stand up and be hyper masculine rulers of their households. With that being said, it is an understandable artifact of the era in which the musical was made. The update 1975 ending was preferable in my opinion, even if it was cheesy.
The roles of these women, whether viewed in a positive or negative light, bring together the plot and the influence that they posses. These female characters There is a message that these women bring beyond the surface of their
but it is also sexist. Although Pam Grier, is playing the lead role, she was still controlled by men and she had to use her sexuality, in order to survive. On the other hand, men in the film used their titles, masculinity, and good looks in order to impress the women. The film also portrays Pam Grier, an African American female nurse as a prostitute, why is that? Again, women
Another thing is how the women dressed and how Braddock's wife had and all the women had the 'Bob'. Also, lastly and most noticible to me was how the movie depicted and talked about the ' Hoovervilles'. Which were basically the more ran down areas and slums of most communities turned into there on community. These areas were infested with sick and struggling
To summarize this essay, there are several points that highlight differences between the two films, yet the overall context of the film remains the same. One common theme that tends to drive the force between the reasoning in why the two films have varying aspects is because they were made for slightly different audiences at different times in society. Though both versions of the movie have small portions that vary from one another, the main emphasis is the same and both versions are loved by the
Hot is a paid homage to the love of film; a meticulous and inspiring work of art with key elements of schadenfreude. Two musicians cross-dress as women in order to escape the mafia gangsters whom they witnessed committing a crime inspired by the Valentine’s Day Massacre. The film explores the underlying
When I decided to go see this movie in a theater I thought to myself how will seeing this movie on a big screen change my experience of the film. I have seen this movie at least a couple of dozen of times as a child , my father who is a big Mel Brooks film lover would play this movie at least once a month or more. As I was sitting and watching this film and enjoying my butter
Hot Stuff (Figure 8) was created to create awareness around the issue of handling fire and safety. It is an animation that represents cave men inventing the fire and having to be careful to not burn their home. It shows an evolving of human kind from cavemen to modern day suit and tie man. Along the way electricity is invented and appliances are used. A home consisting of a man and his wife and cat shows as example of how fire can get out of hand.
The film shows the struggle that these miserable women are going through after losing sons, brothers, and husbands to the Trojan War. The amount of times that these women discuss their mourning is unavoidable. It is nearly impossible to watch the film without feeling empathy for the women. This is very relatable for the many women who lost their husbands and boys to the war.
In our film, Misfortune of Death, Cinco, Franco, and Leon filmed the character Paul looking up in the sky, after the wounded soldier he tried to help passed away in a trench during a war. They used cinematic techniques such as a high angle and tilt from the character Paul’s point of view to show that war can take away people’s souls, therefore leaving them weak and vulnerable. Their usage of the high angle focuses on the soldier being a weak, powerless, and defenseless person that was consumed by the war. The tilt, on the other hand, was implemented to display details that reveal the concept of the soldier character being helpless, while also showing the plot, which in this case would be the character Paul looking from the body up to the sky.
It is an American drama movie that shows 1960s Mississippi, where the Civil rights revolution was talking place. The movie is about the black maids, and their viewpoints, which were never discussed in the Mississippi before (IMDb). Despite the fact that events portrayed in the movie are from the racial-discrimination era, and issues that were raised conform with the time, we come across stereotypical characters that present black women in a negative
Women are brave, women are loving, and women deserve equality. I compared what I learned from Professor Ramirez to this movie and many other instances in this world. Women, like in the movie, today are continuing to fight for liberation today through several movements. Women coming together, united for a change was so powerful to me. Throughout
Where they become more accustomed to being a woman and they even start to use being a woman to their advantage. Judith Butler argues that this movie is just a movies that is meant for entertaining . She also argues that by acting as woman the men confirm the existing gender roles.
The image portrayal of women in this film is a way for the people in our society to see women as not having good standards. As when Waldo is first introduced to the film Darla instantly started gazing after him for being the rich, clean cut young man. Also Boys see girls as a scapegoat when it comes to their problems such as the scene when the club house burned down, and Alfalfa almost lost his best friend he says, “it all happened because I liked a girl” but it was really nothing to do with Darla that caused all of those events to happen it came from him not telling the truth and trying to hide her. One can also see the ideal role a woman should play in society. For instance, after the race Spanky did not expect Darla to be the one that helped them or be the one under the helmet.
The camera was rotating around her, which built the intensity of the scene and symbolized Katherine’s emotions, that everything was spinning out of control. Spielberg finally ended the movie with a powerful and intriguing cliffhanger which leads to the possibility of a sequel. This film also presented the viewers with a variety of themes. There was strong sense of feminism through Katherine Graham.
