Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Re-examines the problematic status of masculinity both in Hollywood cinema and feminist film theory. The text argues that these theories have overlooked the significance of the problems arising from the easily recognized masculine norm equated with activity, voyeurism and sadism.
