Presentation Transcript

  1. Objective • Analyse how gender and race are portrayed in a key scene in Crash

  2. Gender and Race • Critics have said that the film relies too heavily on stereotypes. • How is gender portrayed in the film and is this reductive (in other words fixed on stereotypes)?

  3. Scene Analysis • Having looked at the scene where Rick and jean are car-jacked, we will now look at another key scene: • The scene where Christine is rescued from her wrecked car by Officer Ryan

  4. What to look out for • How is Ryan portrayed as both hero and villain in this scene? • How does the scene reinforce the prescriptive gender roles of the protector and the weak female? Does it also undermine them in any way? • Focus on cinematography and dialogue here too – what do you notice?

  5. Comparison with DTRT • How does this compare with the way Jade is treated when she goes to Sal’s towards the end of the day in DTRT?

  6. Final Question • ‘The portrayal of women in films is becoming less and less realistic and instead focuses on stereotypes.’ • How far do both films agree with this statement?
