VFV & COM representation comparisons

COM- does conform to typical gender roles as 
Does not conform to some character roles as. Theo does not act as the typical Hollywood hero as he smokes and drinks heavily.
The film does not represent london in the typical way, it exaggerates Londons stereotypes such as pollution and how grey its. Whereas hollywood will represent London as being red buses, black cabs with either posh accents or cockney ones.

Hyper masculinity
Mothers as nurturers
Phallic and yonic imagery
Male gaze

Fast and furious drag race
Phalic imagery- gear stick and passing the train
Hyper masculinity- men can do ridiculous things with cars 

We need to talk about Kevin potty training scene:
Mother nurturer- woman cares for the kid

Captain America (weak)
Make gaze
And challenges hyper masculinity as the drill Sargent ridicules capt. America and portrays him as weak ( it is a hollywood film )
