Representation in filth




Representation in filth 





In this trailer there are many different representations. Some of which are stereotypes. in this trailer men are shown to be dominant over women and in control which is a representation often shown in films. however the men are also shown to be dirty/unhygienic and the main character Bruce (James Mcavoy) is shown to be a drug abuser. However the men are often shown in suits or smart clothing showing them as being authoritative when they are out working.

Women are represented as being attractive and sexual objects for the male characters to desire by them wearing lingerie. However the main female role played by Imogen Poots is shown to be caring by showing her concerns for bruce.

Scotland is represented in a negative way in the trailer for filth too by the people being unpleasant and unhappy.

Authority is shown to be negative and corrupt in the trailer as well.

  1. For each type of representation ensure you link to a description of the narrative.

    For females you state they are present in the text to be desired by the male cast, but also the male audience, how do we know the men desire the females from the text?
