‘The male gaze dominates Hollywood movies’. Using the top five films of the week, would you agree with this statement?

Scream 4 – no male gaze, sense of voyeurism where the killer searches for victims

Rio – animated comedy adventure rated U, about parrots that go to Brazil

Your Highness – knights rescue the damsels in distress, whilst saving their land

Little Red Riding Hood – sense of male gaze for audience, as the towns people fight

Hop – animation about a human like rabbit on the eve of Easter

Out of the 5 possible candidates only scream 4 and Little Red Riding Hood have themes of male gaze for the audience. In Scream 4, there are scenes of the female protagonists changing and this also adds a sense of voyeurism. In Little Red Riding Hood, the protagonist is an attractive females and this adds male viewings.
