One of the ideologies that could be underpinning the text could be the change in the on screen representation of women. Previously woman were represented pessimistically, for example they were portrayed as sexual objects of desire and an objects of "the gaze" which is a term used by Laura Mulvey. For example is films such as King Kong the female character is presented as weak and helpless, however Resident evil could be showing the change in the role of woman and the fact that nowadays they are presented in more of an optimistic light, and this could be evident from the role that Milla Jovovich is playing in the text which i am studying, e.g. she is represented as superior, powerful, independent and strong, these are qualities that males are usually associated with, and therefore the film is subverting the stereotypes that are placed on woman.
overall it is a film which is attempting to challenge the stereo types that females would be associated with and is presenting the change in the on screen representation of woman.
