The representation of women in film
I'm a media studies student, and I'm currently under-taking some critical research into how the representation of women has changed in film from the past to the present day. I would particularly like to focus on the role of the 'superhero'. Women used to act gullable and scream and hardly ever fight back, whereas now, we have characters like uma thurman in kill bill, angelina jolie in tomb raider and the girls from the descent, who all appear very strong.
Please help, it would be great if you could give me your opinions. Thanks :D
