Identify A Specific Film That Allows For A Thorough And Welldocumented Discussion Of Jethro RothKushels Contention That We Are

Identify a specific film that allows for a thorough and well-documented discussion of Jethro Roth-Kushel’s contention that (we) are “stuck in an outdated paradigm that does not take into account the plurality of roles a human can play.” In other words, we often accept and expect traditional gender roles despite the plurality and diversity in our own lives and those around us. If your film choice has strong female leads, you should incorporate Ashley Elaine York’s essay “From Chick Flicks to Millennial Blockbusters: Spinning Female Driven Narratives into Franchises” inCommon Culture.Assignment Once you have thoroughly read all the articles for this section, decide on a relevant film for this assignment. You will need to consider the following issues in your analysis and argument: How are the characters constructed in the film; in other words, examine how “masculinity” and “femininity” are defined and depicted in the film. Consider characters’ roles, dialogue, and interpersonal relationships. Examine how “power” is defined in the film and the nature of this power; for example, where does the main character derive his/her strength? What larger social and cultural implications can you draw about what it means to be masculine or feminine today?

* Your larger argument should also address the positiveorlimited expressions of gender roles the film presents to its audience.
