Document Summary
Wolf of wall street and mulveys theory of the male gaze. The hollywood film industry has adapted and improved over the years when it comes to gender roles and the sexualization of women. However it is still very evident in many films today whether it is noticed at first glance or not that women continue to be used as objects to look at and admire. The male gaze in the hollywood film industry is when they present their films from the view of the heterosexual male and objectify women to please this male audience . The concept of the male gaze is a theory coined by feminist film critic laura mulvey in 1975 (mulvey). Mulvey"s concept can be seen particularly in the film wolf of wall street. a very well known film that continuously throughout uses and buys women for their looks and female assets.
