“The typical complaint is that women in films are either 'virgins, mothers or whores”
This quotation will help me as it mentions that, women always have a negative role in film, which then portrays a bad representation for the females.

“The number of female protagonists has increased, and female characters play a larger part in propelling the narrative forward”

“Laura Mulvey argued that Hollywood cinema objectified women in an image for the pleasure of men”

“Men have played the active role whereas the woman plays a more passive role”
This can be beneficial for me in my critical investigation because, this quote is stating that men are given the roles that they are capable of doing and women are given the sexual and easier roles which are to act like sexual objects and wear provocative clothing.

“Most films presented images of women that were produced simply for the ‘gratification’ of male viewers”
Again, this quote suggests that women are used in cinema just to please the male viewers and for them to get excited over the female body.
