Ex Machina: Future-Primitive Impulse in the Technological Soul Christopher Patrick Gose In an age of information--where identity reads through social media feeds in snippets of thought and image, Alex Garland’s 2015 ‘Ex Machina’ asks the crucial question: what views us, and in what way are we being viewed? From the opening vignette, the protagonist Caleb presents under the view of his computers own camera. From this perspective the central drama of the man-machine interface unfolds. Whisked

Before horse, the main way for travel was by foot. This would mean anything that needed to be delivered, such as a letter or supplies, would usually take too long or get lost along the way. One current famous equestrian is Elizabeth “Beezie” Madden. Beezie is the daughter of Joe and Kathy Patton and she was born on November 20, 1963. She was born in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and grew up on her family’s horse farm. She was the first woman and American rider to reach the top three in the

Male Gaze Theory - Laura Mulvey Laura Mulvey is a british feminist film theorist who coined the idea of the ‘Male Gaze’; the male gaze is essentially the way in which the visual arts, such as film and television are structured around the male viewer, that is, that producers assume that the viewer is male. The theory describes the way that media depicts women in terms of what men see. Mulvey also upholds the belief that we live in a patriarchal society in which men set the vast majority of rules

Influential people can encourage people, make people inspired to do good or bad. Alessia Cara is a teen pop music singer that inspires people to think better about themselves and in a better light saying, "Stay true to who you are,even though that sounds cliche'. It's something that's important -doing what feels right for you." Clearly this quote shows that she is caring for others and is using her influence people to make sure that people stay true to themselves. Michaela DePrince said " Never

The Female Gaze consists of three components. First, women are the processors of the gaze; this is present when the focus of the film is from the viewpoint of a female.

In this essay, I am going to be analysing how women are objectified in the 2013 Hollywood film, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ (directed by Martin Scorsese). I will be analysing how women are objectified using a theory produced by feminist film critic Laura Mulvey. This theorist is a British professor of film and media studies at Birkbeck in London. The theory of male gaze refers to the way visual arts; such as film, TV and advertising are structured around a masculine audience and the way in which women

The hegemonic reign of male dominance remains in Hollywood through the male gaze. Film theorist Laura Mulvey explains the male gaze is the visual exploitation of women through masculine narratives as objects of male affection and pleasure. However, Hollywood has taken initiative to produce content that displays women's narration outside of traditional roles. Seen in Mad Money (2008, Khouri) as the characters embrace feminist traits and crush female stereotypes by positioning women in the masculine

change the outcome of the story, I would have allowed Laura and Jim O’Connor to get married. I would have made this change because then Amanda’s problem would have been solved, and Laura would have had financial support in the future. Another reason I would have made this change is because Jim O’Connor would have been the ideal man for Laura because he connected with her. He saw past her awkward fondness of a glass animal set. He also got Laura to take pride in herself. Another thing I would change

I think Paul exemplifies a Situational Leader. He tailors his message to his audience (Northouse, 2016, 7th ed.), addressing Christians and non-believers. Paul uses the directing style when addressing Christians, and he models prayer (King James Version: Book of Colossians, 1). He uses the coaching style when approaching the born-again Christians, encouraging them to actively seek forgiveness (Book of Col., 1). Paul’s toil in the establishment of the early Christian Church exemplifies his supporting

of the Wingfield’s struggles with. Amanda’s hopelessness comes from the feeling that she isn’t as important as she once was, as though her fame/glory is slowly fading away.
