female representation

the representation of women in filmed in is all based upon the interpretation of the director's view within the ideology of the narrative of the film by which they have created the film around the institution that best suits there script. They are in a majority of cases in contemporary film portrayed as strong figures who assists in the narrative and reinforces the plot in order to reach and optimum climax in a film. This can be achieved as Laura Mulvey points out by taking advantage of the femininity of the female body and manipulating the sexual figure in order to gain an erotic aspect to the film and producing a male view on the film. The representation of women in films tend to be in some films for the use of comedy stereotypical and sexist, this is very evidence in such films as Austin Powers, in which Austin merely sees women as objects for his desire and pleasure and of course them being from the 60's and it being a time of sexual liberation especially for women accept it. This is shown by the statement "You're an object Baby" as it is degrading to a woman's independence and paints as a possession of a man, this is one of Austin's regularly used phases in all the Austin Powers movies. This is one of the very few movies of contemporary times that have been so sexist towards women in such a way and been successful in its promotion and showings.
