Analysis of Tough Guise 2
Gender discrimination has always been a hot topic among the masses. It has become a great social issue currently and a lot of work is being done on it in different fields. One of the most prominent and notable areas in this respect is the field of media. Media plays a very vital role in the representation of different genders in society and enforcing the perception related to these genders among the masses, especially the young generation. One of the worth-mentioning efforts in this respect is the American documentary film “Miss Representation” by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The film came out in 2011 and discusses the struggles women have to go through on a daily basis (Newsom).
The documentary film excellently discusses how females are presented in the media industry and how this representation shapes up the perception of people in society regarding different gender roles and duties. The producer and director of the documentary Jennifer Siebel Newsom intricately points out that how the female characters have been shown as beautiful objects on the screen and how this is developing only a perception of females as an object over a period of time.
The documentary film gives serious lessons and points to ponder how our media industry is representing a major segment of society and how this representation is leaving an impact all over the society. Females have always been facing a discriminatory behavior and have been portrayed as beautifully decorated objects of beautification or sex. The producer has herself presented the solution to this issue in the documentary that the film makers should focus more on assigning protaginistic and more meaningful roles to the female actors so that they can also be viewed as powerful and strong creatures. Media should throw more light on the achievemnts of females instead of showing them as Barbie dolls. Works Cited
