She perseveres and ends up saving the whole country and getting honored by the emperor. After the emperor offers her a position on his council, she declines and returns to her home and womanly duties.

A few recent films such as the new Ghostbusters have recently replaced beloved male characters with female actors, to some very mixed reviews. Why, then, would I argue for replacing male with female in yet another film? It seems to be a recipe for popular disaster.

Whilst we see here that Whedon's intention is to subvert the conventional horror movie/slasher genre, I'm not sure that he is successful. He is running the considerable risk of merely replacing the fetishised female victim with a fetishised female hero; she is still a pretty blond girl, she is still fun, she is still sexual, she is still "Barbie with

Growing up Josey had always had the mindset that he was meant to be born as a female. His parents were reluctant to support the decision of their son to become a girl.Not long after Josey parents allowed Josey to dress more feminine only in the house. That was until Josey had refused to wear any clothing that made her resemble a male. The most challenging part was when the family had moved to the United States. The neighbors and other parents were not as supportive to Josey transitions as his parent. The family had faced harsh treatment because they had supported the transition of their son to a daughter. Joey have not undergone

By doing so, the film is inspiring to females and can be also seen as a feminist film. It inspires females to do anything they want and not let pressures from males or society have a control over them. Eraso (2) states, “Women seem therefore condemned to a lack of protagonism, both in real life and in representation on the screen, where they are allotted a passive status in minor roles as plot-elements, a disrupting factor that triggers the action and calls for the male hero to restore order.” Females are given smaller roles, as they are not seen as weak and not capable of being

Traditional action films have positioned male heroes at the center of the narrative, with flat female characters often needing to be saved by the male lead. As women in the 1980s began seeking professional jobs and pursuing higher levels of education, gaining greater independence and in a sense challenging the patriarchal expectations of the time, films began to reflect this change. One of the genres in which this change became the most prevalent was the action film. Sarah Connors in the Terminator films and Ellen Ripley in the Alien films, serve as excellent examples. However, as female heroines become the focus of these narratives, their traditional feminine traits, such as emotional expressivity, tenderness, and passiveness, are replaced with attributes like strength and aggression typically associated with masculinity. Additionally, these female characters often turn to guns, a weapon traditionally used to symbolize masculinity. Within these films, the continued use of the phrase “hard”, in describing both the use of hardware and the heroines hard body, makes much more obvious the lack of “soft”, more innately feminine qualities (Brown 60). There exists disagreement as to whether these female characters serve to empower women in society or if their presentation is too masculine, thus presenting them as essentially men in female clothing. Although these heroines undoubtedly display traits more masculine than their female film predecessors, it can be argued that it

The L.A. Times also reported about Women in Film and the Sundance Institute holding a summit to talk about Hollywood's gender inequality. The report confirms that an agent named Adriana Alberghetti managed to get meetings with 'Star Wars' for four of her female directors and three female writers.

There has always been a clear division of what the ideal feminine and masculine image is within the American film industry. These ideal traits are constantly being reinforced and performed in the cinema. Society has been formulated to criticize those that do not fit into the correct gender by humiliating and questioning their true identity. Through the years, Hollywood has been influenced by the post-structural feminism, therefore they are now beginning to include a more diverse environment in which people of different genders and identities can feel more comfortable. She’s the Man (2006), contradicts the gender and sexual norms within what Hollywood has characterized as High School.

The Feminist Theory was and still is something that is important to not only our current culture, but all cultures past and present in different parts of the world including but not limited to Ancient Greece. However, just because it is important that doesn’t mean that all cultures have or respected it. Even in today’s culture feminism is often over looked. For example, work place many women do not get the same pay as men would get even if it’s the same job. Let us first explain the feminism theory or feminism.

Tom Hooper’s (‘Les Misérables’, ‘The King’s Speech’) remarkable film ‘The Danish Girl’ is based on a true story of a landscape painter Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), the first recipient of gender reassignment surgery recorded in medical history. Einar feels he was born into a wrong body. His body is male, but he is sure that he is a woman on the inside. Einar is inspired and facilitated to undergo gender reassignment operation by his beautiful wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander), who specialize in portraits. It is a sure thing that the extraordinary performances by Redmayne (who won Best Actor Oscar turn as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything last year) and Vikander make one of the most unforgettable films of the year. This impressive film lands multiple nominations on Oscar this year.
