Week 7: 90’s and next step plans

I have finally come to the final week of watching movies and will now move on to researching and writing for my final project. The films I watched from the 90’s were as expected, it seems to have been the start of the hardcore, strong woman trend in Hollywood with films like “Silence of The Lambs” and “Thelma and Louise”. Women were fighting back in a way through these films. They were showing that women can be tough if they want to and they can be sweet when they want to, just like men. Even in the film “Pulp Fiction”, a film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino who often shows that he does not think highly of women, although he makes all the women in this film unintelligent they are still trying to be interesting in some way. Directors like Tarantino who simply don’t think too highly of women will always exist but so will those who want to show the true capabilities of women, that there are minds as well as bodies.
Next week I will begin to meet with my on site advisor again and speak to her about my thoughts on the films and females in the film industry. On my own I plan to do some research in connecting historical events to some films and reading various film reviews. Hopefully I finish this step by the end of the week so I can begin the project and presentation as soon as possibly in a prepared state.
