Blonde Stereotypes In The Movie

Life as a redhead is tough when you don’t have a soul. It is extremely difficult living life without sympathy or the inability to be kind towards others. In my mind I feel like I want to do these things, but being a “ginger,” I just can’t. I want to feel bad for people with blonde, black, brown, or whatever other color of hair there is, but since I have red hair I just can’t. I want to feel bad for all those other hair colors who don’t like as stunning as we do, but I just can’t. Living without a soul is the hardest part of being a redhead, but everything else is gravy.

Quentin Tarantino’s films are always controversial, and Pulp Fiction is no exception. The film depicts graphic violence and overt drug usage, while shying away from politically correct language. The film’s controversial topics such as racial stereotypes, has led some critics to hail the movie as racist; however, the movie denies many of these stereotypes, portraying character and character relationships as not exclusive to their stereotype. Furthermore, the movie mocks many of societies stereotypes, and it is not afraid to address, or not to address, uncomfortable racial topics. Thus, Pulp Fiction challenges racial barriers.

Buttercup can be described in a lot of ways, and the dumb blonde is definitely at the top of that list. Throughout the story, Buttercup is not the brightest person around. Even when she was being rude to Westley, she says “‘Oh Westley, I didn’t mean that, I didn’t, I didn't, not a single syllabub of it,’” (Goldman 198). Buttercup had told Westley to just go home, and then she takes it back right away. She does all of this without even thinking, which puts her in this particular category. Another aspect of the dumb blonde archetype is beauty. The author opens the book by describing the most

shows a lot of wrong stereotypes for American and for different people from different countries. The writer notes “not all dumbs are blonde” (82). Shields indicates that there are smart blonde girls. Before coming to the U.S. I was thinking that blondes are very stupid. When watching a movie, the blondes are always stupid.

“Being yourself never goes out of style.” The average person would think that some world changing person said this but nope. Elle Woods said this. Elle Woods as in “Woods comma Elle”, the main character in the movie Legally Blonde. Legally Blonde is my all-time favorite movie. Actually, every day I strive to Elle Woods. She is basically my role model in life. This may seem silly, but really behind all the pink, Elle Woods is actually a character that may people should take notes from. The Elle Woods, in the movie “Legally Blonde”, is so appealing to me because it she shows that women do not have to follow stereotypes and can do and be whatever they want; every woman should have the blonde ambition and independence that Elle Woods has.

Velma Von Tussle the wife of WZZRT owner Arvin Hogepille, boasts the largest blonde hair in the movie. And with her character being one of the most “white” and racist, it would only make sense. Tracy Tumblad starts the film with light hair, when she joins the Corny Collins show she receives a half blonde half brunette do, which looks black and white when see on the television. By the end of the film Tracy’s hair is straight black, she has completely overcome racism and it shows with her change in hair color. She closes with a great summary of the ideas she discussed in the article and is a nice summary of her ideas on Waters vision for Hairspray.

Many of us women face battles all throughout our lives, but the question we should ask ourselves would be; how could we let our battles we’ve overpowered affect us in our present and our future lives. In the movie “Almost a woman” directed by Betty Kaplan, a young Spanish girl has to overcome her past and move onto a better future for herself with facing the challenges of her being Hispanic. But the issue goes even further than just a Hispanic girl that has to grow up with stereotypes being thrown at her. The truth of the matter is women of all different races have to face stereotypes on an everyday basis. Women everyday face this battle of always having to prove that their rights should be equal to men.

“Shut up, I’m crying.” I can hear her from across the cafeteria. This girl is the most annoying thing in the entire world. She literally only missed one point and she’s crying about it. Newsflash, it's not the end of the world. She does this all the time, it makes me want to strangle her! I can’t believe that someone hasn’t done it yet. She fits almost every stereotype at one time. Carrie is the perfect girl for the first five minutes of a horror movie. Little Miss Perfect Carrie, never got below a hundred until today.

"I don't need back-ups. I'm going to Harvard." With this line Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) begin begins her journey to Harvard law in the iconic movie Legally Blonde. This movie follows Elle's progression from sorority girl to Harvard law graduate. After her future is shaken by an unexpected breakup she decides the best way to get her love back is to head to Harvard after him. However, through some unexpected turns, hard work, and hard lessons, she comes out stronger and more accomplished that she could have ever expected. This fun loving movie has many things to offer including a title that clues the audience in on the theme, a well picked lead actress, and a good message.

Lastly, one of the most common or everyday recurring stereotypes around the world is a woman’s delicateness and feebleness. The generic vulnerability of women has become a seemingly meaningless attribute to our society, spurring jokes and objects of ridicule. Being seen as feminine is still an issue in our society. To many it is belittling and insulting to be called feminine, which enforces the stereotype even more if you already are a female (Greenwood, Ambivalent Sexism and the Dumb Blonde). One of the most common sexist jokes involves the stereotype of the “dumb blonde”. Characteristics of this joke include the stigma of a blonde’s stupidity and inability to comprehend simple subjects. This stereotype of the dumb blonde is more detrimental

But they're not actually funny. Or sporty. They don't achieve big things. So, if you tell a blonde joke you might have to repeat it. But they'll always get there in the end, well most of them will. When you tell a young girl she is dumb, she grows up believing she is. This is a cruel reality that many blondes face today. Hundreds of movies, tv shows and books all have a dumb blonde character in them making young blonde girls grow up in a society telling them that they are dumb. Blonde jokes also add to this. They are derogatory, insulting and wrong. They depict blonde women as less intelligent and very reliable on others. Blondes are always getting picked on because of this, I am here to convince you otherwise!

In the movie, Poppy Moore herself is one of the biggest example of stereotypical Malibu Girl, which is the type of girls that grew up in a rich family and doesn’t know how to respect others. When Poppy first got to the boarding school, all her clothes and shoes got wet because of the weather she was so sad and didn’t know what to do, so when her saw the resident advisor she automatically assume that the advisor will wash all the clothes for her. And even when the advisor told her no, she thought the advisor doesn’t speak English but speaks Spanish. This is another stereotype, Poppy assume that maid only speak Spanish not

“Legally Blonde” is a wonderful musical because the colorful scenes gives audience a visual enjoyment, and the beautiful music gives them a fresh acoustic experience. “Legally Blonde” is presented by Performance Riverside and RCC Fine & Performing Arts. It is directed and choreographed by Roger Castellano, and the musical director is Dennis Castellano. I went to watch this great show, which was performed at RCC’s Landis Performing Arts Center, on September 27,2014 at 2 p.m. I would like to comment on this musical in three ways: the plot, the design, and the acting.

Watch the movie Tangled and you’ll find yourself hooked, desiring the knowledge of what’s next. While watching this movie, two main literary themes became apparent. Disney's Tangled is the story of a stolen girl trapped in a castle with her captor as a mother. Throughout the story, Rapunzel wants nothing more but to leave her . Tangled’s plot employs many gender stereotypes and shows a large socio-economic divide.

The movie I chose, is titled Legally Blonde, starring Reese Witherspoon. The movie follows the story of Elle Woods, who seems to have it all. With her stunning blonde hair, sorority sisters, and her rich, senator aspiring boyfriend, she’s sure to have the perfect life. Elle’s world gets turned upside down when her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III, leaves her in the dust for Harvard law school in an attempt to find a “Jackie O” type of woman. Instead of the shallow, unserious, and unwise, “Marilyn”, he claims Elle to be. Feeling desperate, Elle finds her way into law school in an attempt to prove Warner wrong and win him back. She then goes on to win a spot along with Warner and his new
