  • That was written more than 25 years ago. It is great that know this has changed. Your video is a good proof of it. But probably, her theory helped to change it. Having this movies is also because of her writing.

  • @JKlempay Good point: most movies of the 50s and 60s were created with the hetero male/female objectification in mind; the male gaze owned the female bodies objectified in pop cinema. Thank Goddess we've evolved as a society and can obtain pleasure by gazing at whatever publically shared and celebrated body/gender we want

  • Hey scottrocks17: really thought-provoking analysis of gender identification/sexualization according to gender. I'm really enjoying these video essays posted for "CTCS 412" can you tell me what this is? Thanks!

  • really good!!!!!

  • This is a really good and helpful video... I was just wondering though.. where did the quotes that Laura Mulvey supposedly stated come from...???

  • I can appreciate this video, however the creator is using movies made after Laura Mulvey's "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" was written in 1973. It is possible that by Mulvey calling attention to the male gaze, and opening dialog about scopophilia in mainstream movies of the 50s and 60s, it paved the way for the films shown above to be realized.
