Masculinity

Men in movies

Men in movies usually have physical and intellectual strength, power, sexual attractiveness, physique and independence which leads to some men playing roles of ‘the lone hero’ such as Batman as he enjoys working alone and supplies himself with everything he needs. The lone hero is independent and does not rely on others for things.

Three roles that a man usually plays in a movie is
·         The hero- saves the world, tough, strong, and athletic, always gets the girl and has the perfect physique.
·         The Breadwinner- The head of the family, brings money into the home.
·         The Business Man-smart suit, responsible, intelligent etc.
·         The father- kind, strong, a moral compass, keeps the family together and sets the rules.
·         The Authority Figure- president, politician, owner of a business-powerful.
·         The ‘Outdoors’ Man-can handle himself in strange and rough terrain e.g. Bear Grylls
