DANC 1900 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Erotic Art
Document Summary
Parallels between this movie and save the last dance. People judging sarah for being white, people judging alex because of her shoes. Working girl by day, turns into sexy woman that people want to stare at at night. Used as a film to describe second wave feminism, but is degrading towards women. Look at demographic of who watched the film, shows how it was successful. She only succeeds because of a man/her boss. Supposed to be feminist , but isnt actually. Facade of empowerment, but is really just playing in he game of utilizing sexulaity. Imagery in dancing sweating and water: determination to push through andsomeone else"s power. How we"re made/guided to look at alex. Dog in working out scene represents men. Men act like a dog around women. Supposed to be about her working hard to get to where she wants to be, but they only show her ass, and her doing very suggestive/explicit movements.
