Male Gaze in Winter's Bone
LAURA MURVEY
She came up with the theory Male Gaze
States that women fill in gaps to keep men interested in the film
Winter's Bone goes against male gaze
This is due to none of the women being sexualised
Women have a pivotal role in the film and there are other reasons for them in the film than for male gaze
Wome
Strong
Independent
Opposite to traditional women in films
Women do the dirty work for the men
goes against male dominance although still shows the patriarchy
Merab states 'Don't you have a man that can do this'
Pointing out that Ree is going against the norm where men do the dirty work
she's stating Ree should go back to fitting into her role for male gaze and shut up
LITTLE AUTHUR
Get's Ree's name wrong
reinforces the idea of male dominance because he .only sees Ree for her body
He has a cgaed ferret
represents his masculinity and control he has
TEARDROP
He has a gun the first time we are introduced to him
the guns represents his masculinity and power
CATTLE SCENE
Men are there to purchase female cows
It's like they are buying women, underlines the patriarchy of the society
Hand held cameras used
shows the audience which is all men
Implies male dominant society
Create's active spectatorship because as a spectator we have no idea what Thump looks like, so we try to guess
Ree shouts to Thump
He doesn't listen to her and her voice is drowned out
Enforcing male dominance, women will only be listened to when it's to an advantage of the men
Even though Ree is higher than him, he is still dominant
