Representation Theory

The male gaze
The cinema apparatus of Hollywood cinema puts the audience in the mans subject position with the woman on the screen seen as an object of desire.

The bechdal test
Films have to have at least two named woman in it, who have a conversation with each other, about something beside a man.

Mythology
When places are represented in the media as a fairytale place, that is often much better on the screen than it is in real life.
