I'm Sorry.

I'm sorry. Are you distracted by my body?

That weight strapped to my back— do you watch it shake as I sway my hips? Perhaps it's the scoop of my waist? Or the triumph on my lips?

Are you captivated? Forced to watch, as my necklace catches on my suprasternal notch?

Do you imagine I do it for you? That my rhythm is a performance— a private dance, a showing for us two?

Did I entrap you with my smile? Ensnare your gaze forever in mine? Did I give you the impression

that undying love... is my next confession?

For my #15 gender portfolio, I would like to talk about Charlie's Angels (2000) and the male gaze.

The male gaze is a perspective, typically in media like film and visual art, where women are portrayed and viewed primarily through the eyes of a heterosexual male.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have loved the Charlie's Angels series for a long time, and I still do, but when I learned about the male gaze, I started seeing this movie differently.

Prior to this semester, I thought the series had a feminist theme, and it was groundbreaking that three women worked in a team to save the world from crisis.

However, ever since I learned about the male gaze, I realized that this series, especially the first one, is full of the male gaze, and it almost feels like the movie is encouraging men to view women in that way. The movie tells the audience that women can get anything they want if they use their sexual appeal. It is especially notable in the scene where Alex goes undercover at the software company as an efficiency expert. She wears extremely tight clothes, and the camera focuses on her buttocks, and male workers all stare at her sexually. She uses　a cane to whip the desk and make men fantasize. That is not the only scene in which women are objectified and promote the male gaze: it can be observed throughout the movie.

No Strings - Review/Summary (with Spoilers) Perhaps saving the best for last, No Strings delivers a sense of longing that reminds you how much we're willing to compromise or settle for the sake of company. https://wherever-i-look.com/movies/short/no-strings-review-summary-with-spoilers?feed_id=2399&_unique_id=600e37914de98

Women are simultaneously looked at and displayed, with their appearance coded for strong visual and erotic impact.
