Robin Thicke Blurred Lines Essay

Improved Essays
The music video “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke might have won its controversial fame because of the lyrics or the exposed nudity, but one thing is sure: it was the moment for Emily Ratajkowski to shine.

Emily started her career at the age of 14, signing with Ford Models. After that, she tried auditioning for several productions like Nickelodeon or Disney. She tells me “At the beginning I was exited to start an actress career until I notice that the only they offered me were the mean girl or cheerleader roles.” Despite that, she did appear in 2 episodes for the show of iCarly.

Later on she attended to the School of the Arts and Architecture at UCLA, but left after a year. “I realized it wasn’t what I wanted, so I decided to leave and continue with my modeling career”.

It didn’t just open opportunities as a model, also it helped her gain a role in the movie Gone Girl. She played Andie Hardy “At first people were telling that I couldn’t do so much because everyone was only focus on my sex appeal, but after the movie I received really good critics”

Emily Ratajkowski is just at the beginning of the fame road with all these opportunities that continue to flow to her, which include more appearances on important magazine covers and major roles for movies, like We Are Your Friends alongside with Zac Efron. “I like how my life has turn up to, and I surely don’t regret all the decisions I’ve

    This documentary "Dreamworlds- Desire, Sex, and Power in music Videos" tries to explain how the popular culture influences contemporary music video and how this is affecting today’s culture. “Dreamworlds” insists that these narratives and cultural attitudes have shaped these music videos into sexualizing women, and filtering the identities of both men and women into “myths” about sexuality and gender. The subject group in these music videos tended to be mostly about women and how they are misrepresented and used in popular culture. Overall I agree with the film message that these music videos are misleading and only demonstrated with one point of view in which the audience can see through. For instance, the women are sexualized and presented as mere objects of for the video and men as well.…

    Portraying black women as Jezebel’s by nature is a long -lasting stereotype. The jezebel stereotype is one that has been used to put down African American women since the beginning of slavery. Throughout history the white women were seen as pure, hardworking and respectable, while black women were always seen as promiscuous, seductive and tempting men.
