3.5 Post Mock Representation



-->
Starter: Debate
To what extent do the films conform to mainstream film gender stereotypes (mother, hero, sex object, damsel in distress etc?


-->
New Info
Give out analysis points for V & CoM each pair discusses and checks understanding as a sentence on P card (1 for V, 1 for CoM)

Their mentor Carousels around the room & collect Representation Points for your Points cards (5 both setsmust translate from Mentor)

Collect examples from the film clips on your Example cards
Analyse the purpose & meaning (messages/links to themes) on Analysis cards
Compare and conclusion on the Synthesis cards (this is the answer to the question)

Apply to demonstrate
Make a Film using characters' faces in role presenting your answer over the clips (Voice of London, V's speech etc) BUT structured using these clips, and the PEAS cards
 
What messages can you read/analyse about the role/behaviour of men/women?
What theoretical perspective can we apply to our analysis (Male Gaze, Phallic/Yonic)




POINTS for analysis
"Men act, Women appear"?
V acts, Evey is nearly raped, tortured then finally acts when she becomes masculine.

(Action Hero) Hypermasculinity?
V & Theo 'naturally' protect the women. V has superhuman physical powers. Theo faces an army without any physical confrontation - scampers like a rat.

(Sex Object) Objectification of women?
Evey is dressed up for her liason with her boss, she is dressed up as bait for the Bishop. Kee is naked to show her pregnancy - is she sexualised?

Psychosexual analysis - Phallic/Yonic imagery - tunnel, train, penetration, male castration
Theo's rebirth at the start of the Long Take. V uses roses, gloves & knives/swords. Creedy's gun runs out of bullets. Guns & Tanks during the 'uprising'
Mother/nurturer? (metaphorical birth/rebirth)
Evey Births the Revolution, Kee births the baby and hope for the future, The Dr births V with the experiments
 
Father/Procreation - 'the fatherland?)
Theo is the failed father seeking redemption, Sutler is the Chancellor (Hitler) with England as the Fatherland, Jasper is the Father figure to Theo, V is the spiritual father to Evey
 
Dystopian representation of British National Identity - (Empire, Nationalism, Facism, Repressed emotions, Non-confrontational?) 'Fugees' are locked up, beaten, tortured. Suicide, hopelessness and technology to escape.
