The ideology of masculinity in Hollywood cinema can clearly be represented through the structure of hierarchical class, race, but most evidently, gender. When describing contemporary figures of cinematic masculinity, Gabbard describes a traditional pattern that the male dominant characters usually follow throughout the narrative structure of the film – “The hero often risks his life to save the people he cares about, but he usually moves on as the narrative ends, still resisting the compromises and entanglements that come with family and stability.(9)” The bottom line is, men crave chaos and therefore look for dangerous events in which they can prove their manhood. The idea that a man can be “domesticated” is unforeseen to the mass population due to the ideological thought process of the mind that has been enhanced by the globalization of human culture through the hegemony of the government. In the film Ransom, the character Tom Mullen begins to weep towards the end of the film, for what the audience can assume, is because he just heard his sons voice over the phone and a gunshot leaving the character to believe that his son is dead. An epiphany dawns on the character that his “resistance to the compromises and entanglements that come with family and stability” has now been shattered, proving that his masculine stance has now been destroyed after realizing that his son could possibly be dead
