Batman Vs Superman Analysis
The film might be called Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but fans are eager to see Gal Gadot’s debut as Wonder Woman, especially after there are hints that the Amazonian princess will crack a derisive smile while battling Doomsday. But what is the secret behind the DC superheroine’s smirk?
Gadot recently spoke to LA Times, where she revealed that she had improvised the smile to show how Wonder Woman was feeling during the fight.
“I did that,” Gadot admitted before sharing how director Zack Snyder reacted to the improv on her performance.
“I remember after we did that take, Zack came to me and he said, ‘Did you just have a smirk?’ I said ‘Yeah.’ And he asked, ‘Why? I think I like it, but why?’” she continued, offering an awesome explanation.

    As the CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer has become a renowned business woman in the technology world, and therefore her face on the tablet seems to represent this upstanding position that she holds. Another interpretation could be that her face on the iPad stresses that Mayer, being a woman, has both a body and a brain; she is trying to show the world that although she is this powerful and distinguished CEO, she is also a feminine woman; she is just as powerful a female as she is a CEO. Another depiction of Mayer’s doubled face is that it may be that she wants more attention on her, for herself, her image, or her…

    From the very first minute in the movie, Luke has already introduced us to his famous smile. “The man grins foolishly and lifts a bottle in salute” (Champlin 3). This small grin, sets up the tone for the rest of the movie. A grin so powerful, that even after his defeat it continues to shine through, “In the end, Luke is martyred in a church after a final run for freedom, but his everlasting spirit is invoked by Kennedy’s recollection of “that ole’ Luke smile” and montage of Newman grinning from here to eternity” (Pevere 1). Who ever thought something as small as a smile would be so telling about a character? Well this portrayal of Luke smile certainly answered that question.…

    One of her jobs was working as a detective. Utilizing the lie detector that Steve Trevor, her love interest, introduces her to, Wonder Woman captures liars and makes them pay justly. As Wonder Woman, she embodies this same principle in her Lasso of Truth. As the name suggests, when entrapped by her lasso, one is forced to reveal the truth. Marston invested a lot of time and care into Wonder Woman, and wanted her to be a part of his work. The lie detector was one of said works. “Marston also used Wonder Woman to feature his long-standing work, dating to his junior year of college, on the detection of deception, the subject of his 1921 doctoral dissertation in Harvard’s Psychology Department… Wonder Woman uses her magic lasso to compel a villain to tell the truth.” I appreciate the Marston wanted Wonder Woman to have a job that involved action and a higher education. So many women during this time period had received education, but had been denied a degree stating that they were qualified for what they spent years studying. He purposely put Wonder Woman in a position of power and advanced education to show that women were capable of doing jobs usually deemed for…

    Celie's dad painfully assaults her appearance, progressively crushing her self-interest. For instance, when he says, "You've got the ugliest grin this side of creation, (The Color Purple movie)” she takes a look at the ground and covers her mouth in humiliation. Celie was taught to feel horrible, she naturally covers her mouth with her hand to cover a grin or other symptoms of feelings. I believe mistreated women feel fidgety about their appearances. In addition to you crushing her self-interest you pond her off to an abusive…

    “A face that seemed to imply protest. Rage. Despair. Fist-pumping populism. Or, in some cases, just a rockin’ good time” (Kadish, 261). This image allows whoever is viewing it to attach whatever they want with it. There is no specific reason behind the photograph only a blank canvas that anyone is allowed to make it whatever the want. Galai’s photograph allows it to be used in so many places and in so many different contexts because it gives the viewer the ability to feel what provokes from them when looking at it. There is no right or wrong. Anyone’s opinion is heard and considered correct. “There’s something glorious and terrible about a world in which a picture of one’s face can sweep around the globe..”( Kadish, 262). When people are given that power it becomes seen as a positive because everyone likes to be able to express themselves without judgment. Knowing that no two people are confined to certain standards is a way of bringing them…

    Essay on Wonder Woman

    • 1468 Words

    Her mission is to bring love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men. The heroine Princess Diana of Themyscira, more famously known as Wonder Woman, has gone through various reimagining and different retellings in both media and comic books. But all of these have the same basic origin. She was born and lived the majority of her life on the isolated paradise island of Themyscira, an island inhabited entirely of Amazonian women. Everything changed one day when pilot, Captain Steve Trevor crashed on the mysterious island. Soon after he crashed, as he was being held and treated on the island, Queen Hippilyta held a tournament to decide who would have the honor of escorting Captain Trevor back to the United States. Against her mother’s wishes, Princess Diana participated in said tournament and won. At this point the narrative diverges depending on its retelling. In the 1975 pilot, set in World War II, named, The New Original Wonder Woman directed by Leonard Horn, Wonder Woman fights Nazis during the World War II era soon after leaving the island. In the 2009 animated movie, Wonder Woman, directed by Lauren Montgomery, Wonder Woman fights to stop the reign of the Greek god of war, Ares and his army of undead Amazons. Wonder Woman has always been widely considered as a feminist icon, thus these movies are supposed to reflect such a message. Thus each movie shows how the times and sexual equality has changed over the years. These can be shown by the relationship between Princess Diana and Steve Trevor in which one movie portrays them fighting on equal footing against a common threat much like co-workers and the other not so much which is apparent in a multitude of fighting scenes; Wonder Woman’s behavior and personality through both movies but mostly with her passive behavior in one fight scene in the 1975 pilot and her aggressive behavior in the 2009 animated movie; and Steve Trevor’s difference in behavior and personality but…

    A cry. A tear. A frown. Expressions like these are made voluntarily, or involuntarily. We take this ability to express our emotions for granted. It might not be possible if certain muscles were missing or malfunctioning. Being the social creatures that we are, the ability to express our emotions with a single twitch of a muscle is indispensable. Facial expressions and body language are generally more telling of a creature’s true emotional state, or its agenda. Much of these expressions are made by our sub-conscious mind, and few people question why or how we have acquired this ability.…

    I smile knowing that smiling changes my mood. According to psychologists if you smile for a minute, no matter how fake or forced it feels, your body releases hormones such as serotonin which tricks the body into making you feel happy. Every time I am feeling down, I always try to put on a smile. Smiling also prevents me from looking tired. When I am stressed, I take time to put on a smile. The stress I feel is being reduced and making me able to do more useful things. And also, studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, and natural pain killers. Together, these make us feel good thus; many people consider smiling as a natural drug. Whenever I am having a conversation with other people, I try to smile, smirk, laugh a little on every phrase, sentence, greeting, or even when saying goodbye. It will lighten up other peoples’ day and make them want to talk to me more. In that way, I gain more acquaintances that I can rely too.…
