A Feminist Approach

The critical approach that most interests me in analyzing a film is gender studies.  I feel that what films show of how and what women are supposed to be is inaccurate.  Unfortunately many people believe that there are certain ways women should act, dress, and think.  If a woman acts a certain way or dresses a certain way out of what society deems “normal” and “appropriate” then she is shunned and labeled hurtful nasty names.  Women have been portrayed as week, dumb, and slutty objects for far too long.  In most movies they are “emotional”, illogical and poo-pooed for their ideas and feeling.  Women are in fact, just as strong, smart and successful as anybody else.  It's time that films start portraying what and who women really are.
