Before viewing the documentary Hot Girls Wanted in class I was unaware of the differences between amateur porn and mainstream porn. I had also given very little thought to the women behind the pornographic films and why they were chosen for the specific roles being portrayed or why they chose to enter the amateur porn industry to begin with. Hot Girls Wanted depicted the lives of multiple women who chose to enter into the porn industry via a craigslist ad and the effects working in amateur porn had on them.

(Part 1) Thelma & Louise received mix responses from film critics when it first came out. The responses to the film were largely based on preconceived notions about how women operate in the criminal justice system. Obviously, this movie subverted a lot of these presumptions. The first issue was gender. Women had not been perceived as outlaws until this film. The whole idea of a woman in the criminal justice system did not embody what the movie portrayed. Specifically, after Thelma was sexually assaulted and Harlan was shot, the women come to the conclusion that going to the police won’t help them. They do not have faith the male dominated criminal justice system will look past Thelma’s drinking, dancing, and flirting with Harlan. In the article “Outlaw Women: An Essay on Thelma & Louise”, Elizabeth Spelman and Martha Minow said “Louise and Thelma both hear and reject the echo of societal conversations about blaming women who get raped because ‘they asked for it.’” Louise immediately acknowledges this stereotype against them which is the fact if a woman was raped, the law will view it like “she had it coming”. In other words, she was provocative in some way that established consent. Another issue concerning gender was the one of outlaw women. Normally, the traditional outlaw film contains a white male that we as the audience view as virtuous. While most probably favored what Thelma and Louise were doing, there were some points where the deviancy might have been too much.

The cinema is one of the most unique forms of media because it has the ability to make a

Upon the arrival of Bianca, we see a false thaw in the weather. As Lars introduce Bianca to Karin (Lars’s sister in law) and Gus(Lars’s brother) the false thaw signifies Lars begging to open himself up to Karin and Gus through the arrival of Bianca. The deceptive thaw, a few patches grass and a glimmer of sunlight, symbolizes Lars emotional retrieval. Through the unconditional love and lack of criticism he desires Bianca provides him, Lars begins to interact with the community having Bianca close by as a protective armor. However it is only false thaw, as Bianca is only plastic and will never be able to provide him with true fulfillment. However the way the community plays along with Bianca gives lars the chance to find his own identity in his own time and in his own way. As an audience we see the immense healing power a community can have if the come together to support an individual.

At the beginning of the film/movie, it started with the ant colony picking and providing food for the grasshoppers. They operate by traditional agricultural labor. This film/movie shows an illustration of an economy that relies on the workers to do the labor because there is a scarcity of resources so they need to maintain the amount of food for the colony. This economy is based on a traditionalist economy. They stick to the way things have been for quite some time. There was never any thought of doing anything new because that could cause a huge amount of risk when it comes disrupting the way things have been smoothly running. The ants in the movie run/work off a rank system. Depending on their rank depends on what they do. There is the queen

As a result from having Bianca and the support from his family and friends, Lars is able to fully grow into a mature adult man. The gap between illusion and reality has been bridged, as Lars realizes his true wants and needs after he creates and ultimately destroys Bianca. Lars is now able to have intimate moments with people and be able to touch them without feeling pain. This is most evident in the bowling scene with Margo. Margo invites him to go bowling with her, and Lars comments that Bianca is unable to come because of a meeting. Usually, Lars would reject any social gathering, especially without the accompaniment of Bianca, though this time he accepts. Lars becomes a participant rather than just an observer. He realizes that he enjoyed his time with Margo, however he tells her that he could never cheat on Bianca. Lars is still holding on to Bianca’s existence, but he feels that he may be ready to let go and have a relationship with someone real. This scene is also where Lars allows himself to shed one of his layers and shake Margo’s hand — a huge leap in his development. There is, however, a false thaw when it begins to snow again, symbolizing that Lars is still not fully out of his shell, as long as Bianca exists. This shows the main conflict between illusion and reality that Lars must be able to reconcile. In order to have a relationship with someone real, he must let go of Bianca. The reading in the church in the next scene is significant in Lars’s development. The reading says, “When I was a child, I spoke as a
