Blind Instinct, By Sharon Stone

Power can be a huge motivator for people. It can be described as the desire to control the situation around us, or the people around us. Power can be determined by things such as money, appearance, or how social one is.etc. Sometimes this desire can be stronger in others that it could take over their entire life. That can lead to people making unethical decisions which are harmful, or illegal. Other times it acts as a motivator when it is just a desire to be able to influence others. This desire to have power is quite often present in femme fatales. One could argue that this desire came to be to represent the differences of the male and female roles. The males have always been the ones who have power and influence over people, either in films
She was pretty, mysterious, and captivating. In the movie she already had some power which was through all the money she owned. She was rich and she was able to use that to her advantages from time to time. She wants to be able to control Nick and the other cops who suspect her for the murder. She uses her riches and appearance to achieve her goal (finish her book, and to not be a suspect of the murder anymore). In comparison to Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale. She is one of the Bond girls from the famous Bond series. In this movie she already had a lot of power over the James Bond (main character) because she was sent to supervise him.She was in charge of him, and the choices he made on the mission. When he needed something, he would have to consult with Vesper to make sure he could. For instance, the scene in the movie where Bond needed extra money to keep playing poker so that he can beat Le Chiffre he had to consult Vesper. She kept her power by denying him the money and it resulted in him yelling at her but she still held her ground and didn’t give him the money. Another example of a femme fatale would be Irene Adler from the Sherlock series (Season 2, episode 1). Irene Adler is an intelligent woman who uses the data on her phone to make sure she got what she wanted. There was a scene in the episode when Sherlock and
This misunderstanding leads to women being perceived as people who use their good looks and figures in order to reach her goal. This makes women seem as though this is done only for her own good to manipulate men. Sometimes it is, especially for femme fatales but not all women. Repeatedly femme fatales use seduction as a way to persuade the male protagonist. A famous scene to resemble seductiveness would be from Basic Instinct when Catherine Tramell, is sitting in the interrogation room with a bunch of police officers who are questioning her. A few minutes before that scene, Nick spots her putting on clothes and noticed that she didn’t wear any underwear. In the interrogation room, she has visibly put her charm on the officers, and she uncrosses her legs which gives them all a preview of her vagina. You can evidently notice that it creates sexual tension in the room and most of the men are aroused by it. This was just one of the scenes where she seduced men in the film. Catherine uses seductiveness a lot to get her way. She sleeps with men and women to get what she wants. She will do what she needs to for her own desire. If you compare this to Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale, they are quite different.
