    Gender Roles In The Castle

    In the film Sal every morning, day and night caters to her family making food. The film projects a mother to be uneducated and bound to the kitchen. Sal within the film does not have an occupation or any educational merit, certification or qualification. This depiction of an Australian mother restricted and chained to the kitchen which misrepresents the majority of Australian mothers. This ‘Australian’ motherly characteristics are repeated in Australian film“Muriel’s Wedding,”directed by P.J Hogan. Betty Heslop mother to 4 children works and cleans tirelessly in hopes to maintain a steady and clean environment for her troubled children. This representation of the mother can be both constructive and destructive in aiming to achieve the identity of an Australian mother. The repeated similarity in both films in which, both women do not obtain an occupation but simply cook subjects women to the kitchen and implies that they don't need to have their own carrier and work. The mothers portrayed in the films are dressed in baggy and unflattering clothing presenting Australian mothers to be non sophisticated, non elegant and careless beings in how they present themselves. Although the kind hearted and loving nature of a mother in some aspects are represented within the films. More specifically in The Castle, Sal is represented as a loving and caring mother who wants to look after and care for her family who also has her own hobbies and some what small time goals. However Betty within “Muriel’s Wedding’ is treated horribly and is portrayed as to be harshly honest a push over. The children within the film ignore, hit and disregard the mother. Her character lacks ambition of any sort and…

    Film Review: Stella Dallas

    This film follows our protagonist, Stella (Barbara Stanwyck) through her journey of courtship, marriage to loss. Stella sneaks her way into meeting Stephen Dallas (John Boles) after finding out in a tabloid magazine article about his family fortune being loss and him ending his engagement to Helen (Barbara O’Neil) the socialite. Stella’s complete devotion to her daughter Laurel (Anne Shirley) and her reluctance to change who she is, keeps her from moving to New York with her newly promoted husband Stephen (John Boles). Living separate lives, not completely confessing to the fact that the couple was what would currently be called “legally separated” due to probable censors. The film’s thematic of maternal sacrifice and the loneliness, devotion of the film cause this movie to become what is known in the film industry as a “Weepie”. The Mise-en-scene of the film is predominantly domestic and focused on the excesses of interiors and Stella’s outlandish fashions. The film cannot be categorized as realistic, even though it seems naturalistic at times. The storytelling of Stella’s constant journey to better her life and that of Laurel’s, is purely stylized. Stella’s persona sticks out like a sore thumb against the socialite circles, dressing in the eccentric fashions she deems as stylish, speaking too loud, not fitting into the lady-like deportment her husband demanded.…

    Iron Jawed Angels Review

    This brilliantly written script has many innuendos of these scholarly ladies acting a bit like men in order to make the point that women can and should have equal rights. The plot thickens when Ben Weissman (Patrick Dempsey) tries to seduce the beautiful Alice Paul. Weissman shows Paul how to feel sexy, and that it’s okay to feel like a woman. Von Garnier has incredible insight on how to make a woman feel beautiful when she flashes pictures of Paul taking a bath, shots of her lips, and her smiling.…

    Marxists Analysis Working Girl

    Working Girl, directed by Mike Nichol, recalls a rags-to-riches story in a modern society where the class divisions are precisely sharp. Set in the 1980s, the film provides a historical situation of inequitable distribution: this inequity sways all the characters’ behavior. Though Tess McGill and Jack Trainer spark up a romance, it is Tess’ acquisitiveness that make the romance sizzle. In order to impersonate the bourgeoisie, Tess undergoes an extraordinary transformation. Tess, a proletariat, learns that if she wants to get ahead, she has to act, talk, and dress like the bourgeoisie. The film offers clear evidence of conspicuous consumption—the clothing Tess’ boss, Katherine Parker, wears—suggesting a negative example of the Marxist theory and a tacit endorsement of the free market.…

    Gender in French Cinema

    This essay will attempt to explore the idea that although both Jules et Jim and Les Valseuses explore progressive gender dynamics, ultimately their films remain grounded on traditional gender concepts. Both films move around the French-loved triangular structure between protagonists, around which this paper will explore gender in two ways; through a look at the classic woman-man dynamic, but also in familial terms, looking at fraternal, maternal and paternal gender codings, beginning with how the films portray a positive, equal gender dynamic, continuing into how the films contrarily confirm patriarchal gender dynamics, before coming to a conclusion on Truffaut and Blier’s actual comments on gender.…

    <br>The initial establishment of the female protagonist, Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli), is also undertaken in the opening routine and the character is far from distinctive as she stands on the stage with 'the cabaret girls'. Indeed, from the beginning Sally is a metaphor for the indistinctive, hedonistic masses of people who long for the glory they observe in others and claim should be theirs at any cost.…

    A Doll's House Research Paper

    A Doll's House Research Paper

    A Doll’s House, by Henrik Ibsen, portrays a young married woman, Nora, who plays a dramatic role of deception and self-indulgence. The author creates a good understanding of a woman’s role by assuming Nora is an average housewife who does not work; her only job is to maintain the house and raise the children like a stereotypical woman that cannot work or help society. In reality, she is not an average housewife in that she has a hired maid who deals with the house and children. Although Ibsen focuses on these “housewife” attributes, Nora’s character is ambitious, naive, and somewhat cunning. She hides a dark secret from her husband that not only includes borrowing money, but also forgery. Nora’s choices were irrational; she handled the situations very poorly in this play by keeping everything a secret. The way that women were viewed in this time period created a barrier that she could not overcome. The decisions that had the potential to be good were otherwise molded into appalling ones. Women should have just as many rights as men and should not be discriminated by gender; but they should also accept consequences in the same way without a lesser or harsher punishment.…

    Like Water for Chocolate

    The film, Like Water for Chocolate, represents a story through incorporating the idea of food as feelings and expressing the woman's roles during the Mexican Revolution. The film is a romantic-comedy showing many joking ways of hard times and soft issues and the way of life. The most striking and theme seems to be how women seem to be in charge rather then males; during this time period, I thought that men were more likely to be the head of the household and in charge.…

    Romeo and Julia

    Der Film hat sich in den letzten Jahrzenten als eines der wichtigsten Medien herauskristallisiert. Immer wieder werden neue Untergattungen des Films entdeckt. Darunter ist auch die Gattung der Literaturverfilmung zu finden, die versucht zwei Medien miteinander zu verbinden. Die Verfilmung ist ein Schnittpunkt der literarischen und filmischen Institution, die erfolgreichste, aber auch umstrittenste Begegnung zweier erzählender Medien, die man als Vertreter der alten und der neuen Kultur sehen kann. Die Literaturverfilmung ist ein auf einer literarischen Vorlage basierender Film. Diese jedoch bringt eine immer wiederkehrende Problematik mit sich. Inwiefern ist es gestattet, der literarischen Textvorlage abzuweichen und inwiefern ist es möglich ihr treu zu bleiben. Immer mehr Wissenschaftler befassen sich mit dieser Frage. Unter anderem Helmut Schanze und Peter Scheppelern. deren Versuch, einen Weg zu finden, diese Problematik zu lösen, ich in dieser Arbeit heranziehe und versuche eine Theorie für die Literaturverfilmung „William Shakespeares Romeo und Julia" von Baz Luhrmann zu finden und zu analysiern. Ausserdem gehe ich auf die herausragensten Unterschiede zwischen der Literaturverfilmung zu der literarischen Vorlage Romeo und Julias ein.…
