Exploring & Unpacking Gender in Movies

Curate a small selection of "fun" movies and analyze how they engage with or challenge gender norms in potentially subtle or overt ways.

1. Identify 10 movies which will be screened that you would categorize as "fun" (e.g., comedies, romantic comedies, animated films, light-hearted adventures). 2. For each movie, briefly describe the main plot and key characters. Analyze one specific way the movie engages with or represents gender. Consider aspects like: a. Challenging or reinforcing traditional gender roles. b. Stereotypical portrayals of male or female characters. c. Subverting expectations related to masculinity or femininity. d. Exploring themes of gender identity or expression (even subtly). e. The power dynamics between male and female characters. 3. For each movie, write a short paragraph (around 50-75 words) summarizing your analysis of its gender representation and why it might be a valuable addition to a "repository of gender-focused fun movies" for sparking discussion. 4. Create 3-4 questions for each movie to prompt a discussion on the subject that you have highlighted in the paragraph with the Unlearn audience to understand Violence against women. 5. All of the above could be put in a 2-3 page note in a simple table format. 6. Please refer to the website for any additional information https://www.projectunlearn.in/
