body image contrast
Watching the two movies its a hilarious contrast to how really people think and act. Stereotypes are obviously an important part of the media the values implied for women are weak and innocent, less human, servant's or slaves almost. Being a young woman the utmost immediate image i had in my head was a sickly woman in a revealing bikini severing food to a man spinning a gun around his finger with a bored impatient look on his face. I saw this image on the back of an old magazine featuring XL models witch most were like a size 15 "Whoa she average she must be huge compared a size -1". I personally have fit in a -2 before they do exist i looked so sick and disgusting. This brings me to the other view witch can be just as sad. Men are looked upon as invulnerable, providers, strong, intimating . The male view of media is sad because the fact that a child is hurt is told not to cry boys of every age are being bullies. men are taught to violent never to show compassion to be scary and never get emotional. Both of these views need to change their are plenty sensitive men and strong women.
