Moonlight film trip

Image
Moonlight is a coming of age movie that focuses on 3 different chapters of one person's life. This movie is directed and written by Barry Jenkins. The whole plot of this movie was that there is this boy living in a ghetto area where he grows up in. Growing up with his mother, she was addicted to drugs which led him to struggle with his identity and his sexuality.

The films before in the 20th century especially portrayed females to be the weak, foolish and for sex appeal characters whereas now, in the 21st century, it has changed a bit as more females are having the chance to have a higher role in films like The Hunger Games. However, they are still sexualised and the representation of females hasn't changed completely in a fair way. How do films such as Wonder Woman reflect the changing representation of women in Hollywood movies?  The Wonder Woman film consists of a female protagonist that beholds power and authority over mankind. She leads people and fights alongside men to end all wars. The portrayal within the film is essentially a subversive portrayal of females which is very unusual especially with mainstream films like Wonder ...
