Gender Differences In Film

Movies and television always priority man as strong and dominate. There are not many media portrayals that change the character of male. Men are still glorified for the sexual actives, non commitment and re-lack attitude of life. There are limited amount of films that deceits man in a different stereotypical life than the macho man. However, movies like She’s Out of My League has a very timid, fragile and nerdy male lead. His character tries to get the attention of beautiful, successful and desirable woman. The gender role differences in the movies tries to show the progression in media depiction. The movie was different because the male is not outwardly attractive and very clumsy. His brother represents the typical meat headed, unintelligent
and bully male role. The contrast of the two siblings shows the differences of media portrait of men and how the lead actor is so different to most man counterparts.
