@Litprof3 it was mentioned a little after halfway that madeline was pregnant, but not mentioned again until the very end when paul is dead, i just find that interesting

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 "if your lover left you for a black, would you mind?" wow!

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 it seems that madeline is pretty fed up with paul near the end of the movie

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 i noticed that most of the females shirts go all the way up to their neck, showing that maybe they are trying to be more proper and pure? or maybe that was just the time period

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 wow, so there are things that interest her but politics don't and "nothing [else] comes to mind" ?? what a way to portray females!

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 the quote "we went to the movies often, the screen would light up and we would feel a thrill" is like what we were talking about in class how movies captivate you

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 interesting how paul keeps writing things on public places, it's almost as if he feels his ideas are correct and he can put them anywhere he wants

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 Hmm I definitely think that madeline and the other girl (forget her name) have something going on other than platonic friends! the lunch scene where she touched her face enhanced this idea for me

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 I think the film really enhanced ideal beauty through the portrayal of the female characters. All of them are put together and constantly fixing their hair and makeup to seem perfect

[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

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@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 interesting how paul calls elizabeth a bitch when he has barely talked to her

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

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

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

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

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

I actually really like the close ups of the camera angles. i think they help us get a better sense of the character and it makes it more personal, you can see facial expressions and changes in the character much better

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

[Meredith Langelier @MeredithLan20]

@Litprof3 the female did not even say anything when both of the guys touched her boob! like it was some sort of normal for her

[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 interesting how the very first clip of a female is her doing her makeup/fixing her hair
