Homework

Film studies

 

In the articles it is making the point that the women in the video ‘fateale femme’ is that the scene is making out that she is an object for men to use and she also not representing women in their best way. Also one of the article quotes ‘which challenge women’s role as ‘eternal victim’. Which Julianne Pidduck writes in her article. Is saying how is this women making the role of women look with having  her body on full display in a tight dress which shows  off the curves of her body. Which cause attention to herself that make men look at her and think of her as an object. In the article on what Eva Bru– Dominguez quotes that ‘manifest herself in diverse historical or geo-political’. Is the  fact that the time this was filmed was when women were more independent to there self's so they were strongly about thinking of there self's as objects and how class to men.
 
Which in this video that’s how she makes herself look. Also she's is not very covered up and has a tight fitted dress that’s shows off her breasts and you can see her leg also shows off her curves. Eva  bru– Dominguez also writes an alluring beauty and rapacious sexuality that is potentially deadly to man’. This claims  that with the women's beauty and sexuality this makes the man become attracted to the women which is deadly because this means that the women has full control over then man. On the last article Julie Grossman writes ‘my aim is to adjust our focus on film noir and gender so that we illuminate these women’s narratives rather than mystifying women as objects or images.’ so this women is saying that she’ll like to change what people think about women and there narrative. So men and others would not think of them as objects. My personal opinion on the acticles and what I think  about them is that I think there right on the basic think that shes makes women look like there just  objects and on display for men to play with. Also as women should show that there just as equal as men but on the other hand I think it does make women look strong and powerful because of how she controlling the men just with her  body and they was she wears her clothes also  by the ways she looks
