of gender in American beauty and Annihilation
American beauty
represents the reappraisal of Mores and monotony for the American middle-class
society. The focus of the film is suffocating dullness of suburban lifestyle,
oppressive and invariable dissatisfaction of American dreams. The movie
represents the attention of people towards beauty. The movie represents
fatherhood as a conflict with other traditional masculinity problems. The
intends of the film is to portrait the effect of traditional masculinity and
obsession. The main purpose of American beauty was to contribute towards the
prioritization of male in the society and dominating nature of males over the
female. The movie fails to communicate their message about gender
representation. Conclusion of the plot of the movie represents the struggling character
to survive. The American beauty

compared to other films such as sleeping beauty and annihilation. The movie
depicts freedom of expression and self-fulfillment on the basis of negative
assumptions for male and female characters of the society (Kuperman, 2014).

of gender in American beauty and Annihilation
Films are
playing a significant role in the portrayal of Gender and women in society.
Mass media is working as an agent of socialization of different characters
represented in films. In some films, the mass media depicts male-dominated
social culture society that rain force negative gender role of women. The study
identifies different patterns and forms for the gender representation in new
movies searches annihilation and American beauty. In the movie annihilation,
the Pretty Woman is viewed by an audience with spectator terms of gender. This
role of women describes a proper lady independent of men for survival. The characters of the movie were highly
dependent upon the post-feminist area and arguments in the movie were related
to the ever-changing and dynamic context. Social constructivism is a viewpoint
of solid foundations used in the movie. Another approach used in annihilation
is its gender paradigm. The movie shows different roles for men and women in society
as individuals. The gender roles are different for individuals and separate the
choices of female and male-related to occupational roles, gender roles,
personality characteristics, and behavioral modes. The gender presentation in
the movie influences issues of the society and portrait different strengthening
images for the uplift of the female gender. The variety of scenes used in the
American beauty and annihilation portrait submissive gender ideology for women
and dependence of female gender over the male gender. The language medium and
the scenes used in the movie are particularly interactive with the audience.
The ontological viewpoint of both movies is it towards a social foundation of a
society and gender roles. There is a
wide range of methods to have extensive research over the ideology of both
movies. The American beauty and annihilation represent opposition of Idea at
the same time. The movie American beauty is seen differently from the audiences

Critical evaluation of the representation
of gender in American beauty and Annihilation
There are
different types of ideologies represented in movies related to gender relations
in society. Some movies such as American beauty represent gender relations in a
skewed manner. The main objective of the present work is to explore the gender
stereotypes represented by America movies including annihilation and American
beauty. Most often the media mirror the society and focus on neutral
programming of genders in the medium. The research conducted in the present
paper argues about the powerful ideological concepts of the medium towards the
gender biases and symposium annihilation of women. Different ideological tools
such as textual analysis are used to identify media policies and gender in
balances of society. The gender roles represented in the movies through the
defined character traits are often labeled as feminine and masculine. Slow
marginal and static changes are reserved over time for the gender roles and
their expectations to the movies. The behavioral expectation is attributed to
gender inequality represented in the movies. In American beauty the female
characterized as tender, emotional, sympathetic, and obsession. While on the
other hand male were represented as a tough, self-reliant, an emotional,
aggressive, dominant, and competitive. The difference is on the basis of gender
are due to natural forces and social-cultural norms and values. The cultural
society contributes towards validated roles of gender. The script of
annihilation movie encourages stereotype gender roles and unacceptable famine
role. The strong influence of gender norms over individual behavior as proposed
in the movie describes the pivotal role in society. The symbolic annihilation
of women in the movies states their trivial role in society. The critical
analysis of the research paper can be concluded with ideological shapes of
media that empower the females. The continued negative representation of women
in the movies would lead to annihilation and project positive images on the
match production and it can improve gender roles in society (Danmore, Tapfumaneyi, & Rupande, 2013).

in response to the cultural differences for both male and females, the gender
expectation is different for both. There are two aspects on the basis of
cultural separation. The background of gender representation in movies is
connected with Victorian novels in which women are portrayed as defenseless,
small, and cute creatures. In some novels and movies, males are presented as
Protector of females. In the film production there are 5 themes represented by
women in Hollywood movies including affiliation, need to make a choice,

character represented in the movie annihilation and American beauty portrait
different appearance of males and females in the society (Hyde, 2013).
