Please write a post engaging with some of the questions provided in the prompt below. All original posts are due by Tuesday morning at 9am. Keep these posts clear and to the point (300-400 words). Try to pick some set of relevant questions from below and write a short essay with a thesis and supporting arguments (do not respond in a question/answer format).
Prompt: What is the ‘Male Gaze’ theory and how do feminist film theory critics use it to discuss concerns with gender politics in mainstream movies? Find an example of the male gaze in a film of your choosing (if you can provide a link to the film or a clip from the film, that would be great!) and discuss it by using concepts like gender, intersectionality, perspective-taking, gaze, etc. we talked about in class and by using ideas from Mulvey’s article. In the film you picked, how was the male gaze applied? What made the scenes you have in mind an example of the male gaze? What components of the scene (lighting, camera angles, shots, zooming, perspective, the cinematography, choice of background, etc.) do you think contributed to the male gaze in addition to the character development in the plot? Is the “male gaze” a thing of the past, or is it something which still occurs? Should consumers be concerned about it? Why?
