The Bridesmaid Film Analysis

Superior Essays
One interesting scene is the kiss between Rita and Becca. They vent their frustrations over men before succumbing to a kiss. It suggests the stereotypes of married life, which is unexcited, boring and exhausted. Two women kissing is almost the opposite of the stereotype. As audiences, we can see the liberty of sexual orientation and women’s depression from marriage.
Feminism is defined as the advocacy of women’s rights on the rounds of political, social and economic quality to men. The medias consider Bridesmaid as the feminism groundbreaking for the movie industry. It is a mainstream comedy movie Written by women, and women dominated the action while men are the margins. I think the reason this movie a breakthrough for feminism in the industry

According to them, it was men who lied, cheated, brawled, boozed and farted. Women were supposed to be the victims of such behavior, and so cloud hardly be presented as indulging in it” (Cox). But the Bridesmaids brings us six different types of women from the real life. Annie is the troublemaker, loser in life; Lillian is the good friend who grow up with you; Helen is the perfect beautiful wife but has no life; Rita is the angry mom who is always busy with kids and unsatisfied with her husband; Megan is the raunchy crazy overweight one and Becca is the nerdy wife. Those six women are standing for all the normal female population, female audiences can easily find themselves’ shadow from the characters. The movie is from the life, this movie show the true color of women. So it is a good represent of feminism. The film does not establish a particular gender or sexual identity as normal or normative while suggesting any departure from these norms as deviant or abnormal. And I consider this is why the Bridesmaid made differences on the nature f women in comedies and gender expression. The film incudes a notable large amount of gross-out scene vomit, diarrhea. Unlike the old perfect image of female, it represents a different and more real perspective of female comedy image. It minimizes the distance from the movie to the audience, and makes the characters more related to the real

    I watched Fatal Attraction with a friend and I said to him "that's what you get when you just want some fun for the weekend". Although going with Alex was a decision Dan made it was very unfortunate that the woman he had an affair with was extremly crazy. I doubt that Alex got pregnen, if she was obssesed with Dan she could have made everything up. I don't belive Dan seen as a hero at the end of the movie because it has his wife the one that had the last shot, literally in the theatrical ending and figuratevly in the orginal ending.…

    The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies of all times; as I was a junior in high school when this film was released in 1985. Detention was a common punishment; however, holding the detention sessions on Saturdays was controversial. Many individuals were angered by having to give up their time on the weekends. Therefore, the internal rebellion included not only students; but, parents and school facility as well. By the time my sister entered high school in 1988, Woodhaven High, no longer held Saturday detention sessions.…

    Princess Bride is a critically-acclaimed film based on a novel that includes strong aspects of the hero’s journey. Rob Reiner, the director, creates a perfect mix of comedy, fantasy, and romance which successfully delivers the deconstructive interpretation that Inigo Montoya is the hero of the story rather than “the man in black”. Inigo Montoya’s call to adventure begins when his father is unrightfully murdered by the six-fingered villain and his drive for revenge establishes the events that lead to the rescue of the princess bride. A close reading of the text reveals without Inigo Montoya’s presence in the storyline the hero’s journey would not have been able to be completed, hence making him the protagonist. It all begins with a magnificent…

    Bridesmaids shows this stereotype with Helen (Rose Byrne) since she always seems to be perfectly dressed and throughout the film we never see her without perfect makeup and hair completely fixed. However we also see the complete other side of the spectrum with Megan (Melissa McCarthy)this character does not wear makeup throughout the film other than during the wedding, and she also does not dress very femininely she wears ill-fitting clothing and mostly wears pants and no dresses. She is the complete opposite of Helen and the stereotype that women have. A woman who does not dress perfect in a film is normally portrayed as a lesbian since they are not feminine enough to be straight, however this film removes those boundaries since Megan is not a very feminine woman yet she still ends up with the air marshal.…

    This movie exemplifies many gender roles, gender inequalities, and discrimination against women that are present in today’s society. If one were to watch this movie and recognize the theme of gender and see the gender messages that are apparent, then much valuable information can be gained from this movie rather than just pure entertainment. This movie accurately reflects society’s beliefs that women are inferior to men in all aspects, but with particular emphasis on sports and physical activity. The movie is based off the stereotypical belief that in order for a woman to even be considered as equal to a man that she must dress up and pretend to be a man. It exaggerates the social norms that men are the dominate sex and that women are totally dependent on men.…
