...start and the pair parted ways in 1968, much to the delight of the teenage boys and young men who had fallen in love with Farrow through her roles in movies and television shows such as Secret Ceremony, Peyton’s Place, and Rosemary’s Baby. After her marriage to Sinatra came to an end, Farrow rapidly began to expand her filmography, sometimes putting away two or three movies in a single calendar year. She even appeared as the titular character in a 1976 adaptation of Peter Pan, which thrilled and confused her adoring male fans in equal...

...2. Gender has been a classic problem for as long as anyone can remember, gender is a working progress “The concern with gender relations in development”(200,pg 2) There have been many performances that centre around the trouble that people face because of gender, e.g the big bang theory, Macbeth etc. there are real life issues of gender discrimination still going on (Turner,2013) agrees. 'we need to get over the assumption that it's all improving'. I have chosen to write about the movie 'She's the man' (2006) which is based around Shakespeare's the twelfth night. Amanda Bynes plays a boy convincingly “ Bynes pulls off the transformation to a boy nicely”(Nevius, 2006).The sexist coach doesn't believe that woman can play soccer the way men can...

...Imagine that you were told that you weren’t good enough to continue on playing the sport that your world was revolved around because you were a girl. In the movie She’s the Man (2004), Viola Hastings is told just that. When the girls’ soccer team at her school is cut because of a lack of players, she is devastated. She seeks the help of the boys’ soccer coach, asking him to let them try out for the boy’s team. The coach laughs in their faces, saying “girls aren’t as fast as boys, or a strong, or as athletic. This is not me talking, it’s a scientific fact” (Fickman). Outraged, Viola does everything in her power to prove this, as well as many other stereotypes wrong. Viola, played by Amanda Bynes, disguises herself as her brother and try’s out for his schools’ boys’ team. “This transparently cross-dressed performance advances a distinctly conservative perspective on both gender identity and the human subject” (). She’s the Man uses a humorous approach to help viewers understand the gender roles of teenage life when Viola is able to break through the barriers of femininity versus masculinity, disproving stereotypes about romance, athletics, education, and beauty along the way. There are many different stereotypes of femininity and masculinity in the movie, but the main one focused on in the movie is romance and the different ways that each gender enacts the roles of their individual relationships. Main character Viola Hastings is in a relationship with Justin, who is a typical...

...Brenda Ortiz October 10,2013 Mrs. Hua English 801 B “Celebrity role models” Miley Cyrus, Amanda Bynes, and Britney Spears what do all these celebrities have in common? They all rose to stardom as childhood stars and have become a tremendous part of children’s lives. They have transformed from talented singing to talented acting. As these stars tend to grow older they become exposed to an amount of certain things. These things include body image issues, alcohol, drugs, and sexuality. Many of these things start affecting their image in the media. Celebrity’s actions affect children who look up to them. Its like the saying “monkey see monkey do” they want to be exactly like them. Young girls begin to starve themselves because of body image insecurities, casual teenage sex is immensely increasing, and clothing is beginning to get smaller and smaller. The worse case scenario is they typically blame their unacceptable behavior on television. All these bad habits are being adopted from children, which we must shut down. Increasingly Celebrity images are being publicized immensely across television, movies, magazines, and Internet in our generation of technology. I strongly believe this is largely a negative development. Miley Cyrus for instance, was known as “Hanna Montana” on the Disney Channel. The Hanna Montana franchise made Disney close to a $1 billion dollar. (DailyPix). That’s all thanks to her inspiring fans that look up to Miley Cyrus as a role model. Also her...
