BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

Tuesday 8 March 2011

This is my moodboard to present how the male and female sexes are represented in AA films. As you can see, the representation fo men is usually more positive, as they are made to seem powerful, dominant and adventurous. In comparison, females are stereotypically represented as the damsel in distress, often being hopeless and being the "princess" that must be saved. However, in many AA films these stereotypes are broken, and men are represented in a different light, where they are not strong and dominant, but are weak and need saving by women. Also, women are unstereotypically represented as strong and violent (like men), however much more clever and empathetic than men are usually represented. overall, men are more stereotypically represented in a positive light, however in a lot of films, the characteristics of the female characters challenge these stereotypes, for example Kill Bill, Chocolate, Kick Ass and Avatar.
