@Litprof3 interesting how Elsa says that women play a big role in America and that it's good, it's like she doesn't feel like she is playing any role in France

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 Elsa says she doesn't know about any wars going on at the time. it almost makes it seem like women aren't intelligent or that they don't pay attention to important things such as current events

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

[Aidan Ham @AidanHam03]

@Litprof3 The ego of the main character is out of control

[Aidan Ham @AidanHam03]

@Litprof3 It's interesting how often they cut the film between lines instead of having fluid scenes

[Mia Bronson @bronson_mia]

@megdonahuee @Litprof3 I noticed this too and it was honestly surprising. I guess in some ways for the film this way of thinking works given how Paul (and his friend) place a large value on having sex without really having strong feelings in a relationship

[Litprof @Litprof3]

@EmmaS4747 Good catch!!!

[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.

[Emma S @EmmaS4747]

@Litprof3 I didn't find the movie terrible, but it a lot of the scenes seemed to go on for a little too long.

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 I noticed how the majority of the time that the male character (not sure his name yet) is talking about his time in the military, the camera is only pointed at the girl, continuing to play with her hair

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 when he says what he likes about her, it's only things about her physical appearance (hair, eyes, etc)

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 the bathroom scene really portrays the male gaze. throughout the whole scene it is him describing what he likes and doesn't like about girls and trying to convince her to go to bed with him. also, during the scene she is fixing her hair and makeup to look good for him

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 wow! shots fired on the train! took me by surprise

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 he doesn't hold the doors for her??? he practically lets them slam on her face

[Tara Donovan @TaraDEndicott]

I am intrigued by the watching of a film inside the film, the characters are watching in a theatre their gaze is being controlled just as ours by the filmmakers

[Dylan Honors350 @Dylan_HON350]

Mulvey's ideas on the male gaze are interrogated in Masculine Feminine, and the film offers a nuanced take on her theories.

[Dylan Honors350 @Dylan_HON350]

Wow that train scene was intense, more shooting!

[Dylan Honors350 @Dylan_HON350]

The women in this film are constantly fixing their hair or putting on makeup so far, it says a lot about the notions of ideal beauty.

[Dylan Honors350 @Dylan_HON350]

Masculine Feminine is a film that rewards close attention and careful analysis, with its layers of meaning and symbolism.
