I Must Say What A Weekend I Had With The Girl’S Night Out.

Just as there is a male gaze, there is also a female gaze. Mulvey argues that, “... such arguments don’t consider how insistently women are presented as sexual objects” (Monash). And yet many continue to argue that genres such as romantic comedies invalidate the male gaze’s offensiveness because it sexualizes men in the same way women are. In response Mulvey points out that, “... female viewers are not invited to desire male bodies, instead, they’re positioned, to identify with a heroine that is desired by a man” (Monash). Take the widely popular Love Actually. One of the most prominent romantic comedies in the industry, it follows several storylines of characters falling in love. Though good natured in spirit, the movie’s assigned gender roles pose a problem. The relationship between the latina maid, Aurelia, who doesn’t speak English, and novelist, Jaime is purely physical. Due to the language barrier, they never have an actual conversation and in fact Jaime doesn’t even admit that he’s in love with Aurelia until she strips and jumps in the lake to retrieve his papers. After Jaime leaves, Aurelia learns English, but doesn’t pursue a better situation, instead choosing to wait for him to return. It displays the woman as dependent with a future dependent on the man. Prime Minister, David, and house staffer, Natalie’s, relationship should also be examined. The romance plays on the boss/subordinate trope. It

These days, people are really influenced by social media. By showing the se romance type of movies influence and motivate someone to achieve their goal or to keep on going with their lives. People can use these movies to relate to themselves, which gives them a good feeling. Overall, this movie was created for a reason, to entertain and to influence our actions and

Okay so over the weekend I saw a total of two wonderful movies, one in the theater (Mockingjay pt.2 ), and two at home (6 Years, (500) Days of Summer). All three where so good that I decided to write about them.

Both characters had a different part in the movie, No Strings Attached. In Kipnis’s essay Love Labors she talks about, “how domestic life has become such a chore that staying at the office is more relaxing”. (Kipnis 395) Natalie Portman’s character is the uptight person in their so-called relationship she is more worried about her work than she is worried about having a relationship. She finds her work more relaxing than actually having to put work in to something else. She is also in control over their whole friends with benefits relationship. On the other hand Ashton Kutchers character plays the role of being more easy-going and the ladies man.

The casting for The Proposal was exceptional. Everyone can call that Margaret, Sandra Bullock, and Andrew, Ryan Reynolds, are going to end up together. It’s your typical, cheesy, movie romance. This fact does not ruin the movie

A common myth for this genre of film is the romantic coupling at the climax or resolution, and often times this serves as the central conflict of the film. In both movies, we see our male protagonists pursuing one or more female characters throughout the story, and their pursuits always result in the typical humorous and ironic situations that is akin to the comedy

A. No Strings Attached: Are "Friends with Benefits" As Complicated in Real Life as They Are in the Movies by Justin J. Lehmiller

Significant other: Roommate. I decided to do it with my roommate because, even though I have a boyfriend and that would've worked out perfectly with the marriage agreement, he lives in another country. Therefore, I think that doing it with my roommate is a good idea because I share a lot with her since we live together.

First, In the beginning of the story Romeo not only happens to be in love with someone else. That person ends up not loving him back and hurting him. Now what this has to do with this is that when you get your heart broken by someone that you gave everything to and end up finding out that they do not feel the same at all you get hurt. There is no way to prevent that unless of course that you are not actually in love with that person. Also when your hearty gets broken you ended up becoming what I like to call love blind. It is where u do not care for only love anymore you want to be in control. You want to make sure that other person loves you no matter what the cost. And this times you want looks, action, and respect. You want to be the center of their attention and what this ends up coming to in the end is that you think you are trying to avoid being hurts again.

For years Disney has been making films that have captured the hearts of thousands. These films display the “ideal” and “perfect” love story, filled with all things little girls dream of. However, these films are injected with underlying cliché ideologies that a women is nothing until she can find a man to be a part of her life. Popular films such as Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, and The Little Mermaid are perfect examples showing this “hopeless without a man” theme broadcasted. Disney's films have been so successful and popular all across the world. However, if there is one thing we know about children, it is that they are like sponges. Children absorb and take in everything they see. If the themes and morals displayed in these movies are

The movie speaks very strongly to teenagers and young adults searching for love. Through the use of the two different relationships depicted in the film, it allows the audience to see how powerful and precious love is. It should never be taken for granted nor fake.

Our generation thinks that sex today is exactly that, just sex. They feel as if there are no emotions behind it. So hooking up is okay because, there are no emotions, no pressure and you may never see that person again so why not live in the moment. Friends with benefits are slightly different. They are friends that have developed shared history, experiences, situations, or mutual interests. The interest can be so strong that one person may be interested in benefiting from the said friendship. Being honest, any time sex is involved, it complicates things even when both people try to maintain communication and respect for each other. There is no healthy way to maintain friends with benefits, even with there being a mutual understanding between the two. Whether it feels comfortable and safe a problem will arise. When they’re sexually involved with someone they already care for, emotions build, as does trust, intimacy, connection, and familiarity. And, no matter what one calls the arrangement, it can still get tricky. Let’s say for instance, what if the person they’re sleeping with is actually only going along with the “friends with benefits” thing because they have deeper feelings for the other? How do they resolve this without there being any problems or worst, a broken friendship? There is no easy way to come out of

The acting talent on display here is perfectly balanced to the filmmaking aspects with Elle Fanning giving one of her most exciting performances, and Jena Malone going all in on everything that Refn has her do (which is a whole lot of crazy). Even Keanu Reeves is given excellent allegorical weight, and such a presence is just the right person for that to happen too. Karl Glusman of Gaspar Noe’s Love is dropped quickly from the movie, but his place in the bigger things at play doesn’t seem important enough to make so much of a difference.

Films often explore themes surrounding issues commonly seen in the community, issues that may be worldwide dialogue, like sexuality and gender. In addition, they may look into ideological controversies and with the use of cinematic elements like Mise-en-Scène, Photography, and Movement to imply the director’s viewpoint on different issues. Some movies, take a liberal side on issues like sexual freedom, expressing how they believe individuals should not be judged for personal decisions, who they are, who they are with, or what they do. Along with the idea that everyone ought to be free to make their own choices, who they want to start a family with, whom they want to be in a relationship with, and who they want to be. Being in a relationship, like sexual decisions, ought to be mutual decisions, without the influence of a third party having an impact or being an obstacle, an individual can choose who to be in a relation with and when; as revealed in the films Wondrous Boccaccio, Seven Samurai, and All About My Mother.

As for the 15 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who plays the role of an intimidating drug dealer in the movie, has spoken with TODAY earlier this week and revealed to them that he has been "saving a dance" for his girlfriend, Nicole and has been missing her as they haven't seen each other for a while because of their respective job commitments.
