My Overall Topic

My topic is basically about how modern films in hollywood today feature maculine women who challenge their given stereotypes in society. I will counter that with the fact that women are still there to appeal to the 'male gaze' and that refers to the sexually active stereotype women women are given these days. The main film i am going to talk about which gives a clear image of a female protagonist challenging the stereotypes given to her is Domino. Domino features Keira Knhightly as a very masculine women who is not afraid of nothing and a person who like action and living by a thread. Other films that i would use which give a clear example of women challenging stereotypes are Wanted, where i will be focusing on Angelina Jolie and Erin Brockovic where i will be focusing on Julia Roberts. Another film that i will be talking about in my study is Casino Royale how ever i will be using the female protagonist in this film to counter the fact that women challenge their stereotypes as in Casino Royale the women, like any other women is pictured to be, is passive, fragile and inneed of male protection.
