Terminator (1980s)



This film mainly presents the female characters as weak and as the victims of the film; whereas the male character is presented dominant and powerful and this is mainly through the prop’s e.g. the gun, which could be a symbol of his power, and the use of low angel shots which make the audience look inferior and the male character as superior.

However this film contrasts due to the reason that here the men are not as dominant over the female character. They are shown in a mother role, where they are taking care of the baby, which can link to the feminist’s theory of “the new man”. Therefore this could be challenging the stereotypes that men are associated with.
