Option #1

Option #1.  Examine one of the films listed under Module #3 on the M3 Gender Performances Movie Selections page and write a short (1000 words) essay focused on the following question: Can you identify and describe gender bias in the performance?  You may use the Bechdel test or any other indicator.  Select a film and describe how the actors perform as masculine, feminine or neutral gender.   You might examine elements such as the portrayal of women, the number of characters who are male or female, how their relationships are shown, or the number of scenes with sex or violence.  Consider whether the film passes the Bechdel Test.
