Audience Theory- Feminist Film Theory

Laura Mulvey



  • Visual Pleasure and Narrative cinema was introduced in 1975.


  • Cinema reflects society which reflects a patriarchal society.(Male dominated society)




Patrialchal and Phallocentrism are linked



  • Phallus is a symbol of power.

  • Guns are used in films to help show most mens power in a film.

  • Guns=Phallus=Power




  • The male mid-life crisis and the phallocentrism

Most men feel that as they are getting older they lose their sense of phallocentrism so then they feel they need to buy objects like e-jaguar to restore the power in which they have lost.
