The Male Gaze
Laura Mulvey, film person, notices this guy looking at her, circa 1975, and postulates that in hollywood film audiences are forced to follow the characters and action through a heterosexual lens. "I went like, ooo la la. I could write a book about that!" said Mulvey. And she did and kicked some major male gazing ass. Things have changed overnight since then and the entire of hollywood has seen the error of their male gazing ways and produced three decades of enlightened cinema. It's been amazing really. Hasn't it?
