@Litprof3 “well, I hardly wear makeup” certainly a lie. Why did she feel that she must hide this?

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I can’t tell if Paul is supportive of Madeline’s music. Does not seem to appreciate it.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 Madeleine telling the reporter that she "hardly wears makeup" is absolute cap. We saw her touching up her makeup at least 100 times.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 the female is comparing herself to Madeline asking if she has a better figure then her. We see how even women compete with one another to meet the expectations of a man.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 the film engages Mulvey’s ideas in her essay. We see how Paul is gazing upon Madeline as she is looking in the mirror fixing her hair and makeup with an awareness that she is being looked at (scopophilia)

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I find it interesting how he says, “eroticism makes me sick” yet he can make sexual comments about women and it’s fine.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I certainly find it interesting how the characters are now watching a film. (Film inside of a film) The film we are watching is controlling our gaze similarly how the film they are watching is controlling their gaze too. The film also reinforces the gender norms.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@TaraDEndicott @Litprof3 I was about to quote the same thing..the film certainly sets standards for ideal beauty and it seems that being skinny and having good breasts is one of them.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 3 people in a bed…this is interesting. Also I can’t tell if this is the daughter she seems a bit old.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 the film resists gender norms in the way that Madeline is seen as the one making the money (essentially the “breadwinner”) in the house.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 the film constantly zooms in on the women especially when they are fixing their appearance. The film places importance on the female image and notions of ideal beauty.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@jrfahe @Litprof3 I wrote something very similar in one of my responses. The females have internalized their passivity to men. The ability for men to criticize or say what they want about a female and the females just accept this as a way of life.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I notice that the male is only able to compliment her appearance and nothing about the quality of her character.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 he asked to marry her??

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I respect Paul for moving their seats at the restaurant when the two men were reading a sexual article and making very vulgar comments about females. I notice how the females have no reaction to these types of comments as if they are used to being treated in this way.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@jrfahe @Litprof3 I completely agree!! I noticed this in the bathroom scene when Paul is interrogating the girl.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 if women did not meet certain standards set for them by men they were categorized as either a “slut” or a “hooker” and were criticized.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 train scene was intense. It seems like using guns is a common way to solve issues. So far two shootings

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 I think the closeups are certainly an interesting approach. It certainly aids in character development.

[Morgan Hubert @MorganHubert28]

@Litprof3 female is putting on makeup, lipstick, and brushing her hair. There is a constant need to uphold a certain appearance. One that is approved by the male
