Catwomen. . .

Synopsis:
Catwoman is the story of shy, sensitive artist Patience Philips (Halle Berry), a woman who can’t seem to stop apologizing for her own existence. She works as a graphic designer for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product. When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she finds herself in the middle of a corporate conspiracy. What happens next changes Patience forever. In a mystical twist of fate, she is transformed into a woman with the strength, speed,agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat. With her newfound prowess and feline intuition, Patience becomes Catwoman, a sleek and stealthy creature balancing on the thin line between good and bad. Like any wildcat, she’s dangerous, elusive and untamed. Her adventures are complicated by a burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a cop who has fallen for Patience but cannot shake his fascination with the mysterious Catwoman, who appears to be responsible for a string of crime sprees plaguing the city.

This is a text which i can use while discussing the other side of my argument, which is that even though females such as Milla Jovovich are presented as powerful, strong, independent, and it seems like they are progressing and that they are being represented more positively on screen, we can argue that they are still objectified to an extent. This is mainly through the female protagonists chosen and their costumes, for example the female characters that are used seem to be all very good looking and attractive, also in Catwomen the protagonist costume is tightly fitted, shes wearing red lipstick which presents her as seductive and shes also objectified in other ways e.g. in the trailer there's a part where shes sitting on the bed, the way shes positioned makes her look very provocative. Therefore i can argue that even though females are used as the protagonist in action films they are still sexually objectified.
