Reflections of gender roles in films

 Reflections of gender roles in films
   Men seem to always be in the movie leadership, more capable and culture, and women are always in a position to be protected, no male wisdom and calm, a lot of movie hero to the rescue of the screen. Think about it, no matter how strong the girls, the men's final are needed relief. In the movie, the most attractive than the beautiful people of it, we are seduced by the beauty, whether or sportsman beauties, have become movie buy the most important part. But most of the film and television work, women will always be "vase class" figure, a closer look at think about it, what the movie looks more women are ugly, while the men in the trade request is not very high. Most men grasp of social wealth, beautiful or not does not matter, while women are more concerned about the appearance. 
  "Like a man can not spit chewing tobacco can not be the same with men," remember this speech right, very familiar with the classic "Titanic", Rose told Jack to go to school in the deck spitting, discovered by her mother, was chatter. This also affects virtually our ideas, women should ensure that there are rules, but to no avail bohemian describe women. In the invisible effects movie, we find it difficult to accept the feminization of men. Under normal circumstances, the community is hate girly men, because men are usually set by society should be masculine. Worth thinking about is that in film and television works, to create image of women, in order to meet the needs of the community deliberate or unconscious behavior? 
 
We always pay attention to in life, but should be gradual, sometimes deliberately pursue equality of both sexes, but promotes inequality.
