Film Studies student from the UK here! This helped immensely with my essay assignment! Definitely helped me with a refresher on Freud and a better understanding of Mulvey's theory! I also loved your very considerate language choices throughout this, very aware:) Thank you!
This is such a great refresher! Perfect antidote to JP anti-feminism, anti-semiotics and general anti-intellectualism. Gender Issues in Film was such a brilliant branch of criticism.
The first time I read Freud's works I was like, "Wow! This is fascinating and very enriching to my filmmaking perspective." But as I try to understand him more I was like, "Well... This is as far as cocaine and loneliness can get you."
Im a literature student, doing masters. So, Freud has been an important part of our studies. Your comment got me laughing so hard, I almost spill my breakfast!
I am a student of English literature from India. Bunch of thanks ✨ ✨ ✨ for making such an awesome video on this essay. My doubts got cleared because of this.
Holy crap I stumbled upon this video while trying to write my annotated bibliography about Visual Pleasures for my Film Theory class, and I thought your name sounded familiar. I didn't know you were a teacher at Binghamton University! I go here! My AB is for Professor Wall's Cine 321 class! thats so cool!
11:54 "men look at women and women dont look back at them".. see, to me this to me explains the sexual/power disparity.. to look is to focus upon and thus give ones power to.. tell me, would you rather be the looker or the observed? For me, id rather be the looked at- the one who the other looks at with eyes of desire and longing, as opposed to the looker.. longing for reciprocity. the observed has the power in this situation.
Except, when the observed does not reciprocate, the observer turns on the observed with violence and abuse. The observer does not care for the observed outside of what the observer wants from the observed. The observed is only longed after for what they can do for the observer. Why would you want that?
I havent seen part 2 yet, but to the extent that the arguments laid out in this video are more or less paraphrased accurately and self-contained, I wholeheartedly disagree with the overall analysis. There is a significant leap of logic between the psychoanalytic concept of castration anxiety and a slow pan across a room. I ask myself - are the other explanations for a slow pan just as, or more convincing that yours, and the answer is usually yes. The woman in the bed at the end of the slow pan is not necessarily being objectified by what they call "the Male gaze". Plausibly this slow pan is representative of the power/comfort felt in the safety of your own home, after engaging in some form of healthy interpersonal relationship ending in sexual activity (a thing that humans do with one another). A shot of a person sleeping when that person happens to be female is perhaps "Male-centric", but it could simply be the fact that the male in that situation was the character we were asked to consider in that situation by the filmmakers. Why must the filmmakers be accused of committing an analysis of deviance when they fail to show perfectly reciprocal scenes? The video (perhaps the whole field) seems to me to be fraught with political speculation.
I'm writing an analysis of this for a class. I think referencing Freud was a weak means of conveying her point, as he was a loony tune, and much of his work has been tossed out.
Mulvey and her psychoanalysis are simply wrong in saying that male dominance comes from any sort of deep, unconscious drive. Rather, it's clearly states and in your face. As such, it's the working assumption behind hollwood mooviez because if it wasn't it wouldn't sell.

@@MsMusicalways "the observed with violence and abuse." So by observing a tree, that means I want to chop down that tree? lol
Thank you! So incredibly interesting.
Would you say performance, such as the scene in Gilda 1946, flicking her hair link to her Mulvey theory?
Yes, definitely.
@@filmandmediastudieschannel But does it say in Laura Mulvey's Book that its about performanc, because I couldnt find it
The male gaze found its most aggressive and uncomfortable form in the public gym.
Laura Mulvey uma negacionista das ciências biológicas!!!
