Laura Mulvey's Ideas On Representation

Laura Mulvey came with a theory showing representation between males and females, she coined the term "male gaze" in the year of 1975. She appeared to believe that in film audiences have to "view" characters  from the perspective of a heterosexual male. One example of this that I've used is the film Kill Bill, particularly as modern representation as in the film actress Uma Thurman represented a powerful, dominant an independent woman. Compared to a film such as James Bond for example where the audience see him as an attractive man who seems to attract characters in the film, Kill Bill does that same effect but instead with a woman who fights and is agressive etc, this is where male gaze is shown through my example.
