Rails And Ties (2007) Movie Drama - Melodrama

Rails And Ties (2007) Movie Drama - MelodramaWhen life comes apart, love puts it back together.

The story itself is unusual and that made it a somewhat novel experience. The acting is amazing - esp. by Marcia Gay Harden (the ill wife). It's definitely a show worth watching if you're looking for a well-done drama.

Parental guidance: recommended age 13+

Women and Film: Both Sides of the Camera / Женщины и кино: По обе стороны камеры

Создавая кино, независимые кинематографисты феминистского толка выступают за то, чтобы интерпретировать мир на экране глазами женщин. Энн Каплан в своей книге приводит анализ четырех фильмов разных периодов истории кинематографа. Она говорит о женских образах в кино, созданных на основании мужских представлений. По мнению автора, мужчины-кинематографисты в своих фильмах рассматривали женщин исключительно в качестве сексуальных объектов. Каплан также описывает попытки представительниц слабого пола из мира кино сломать сложившиеся стереотипы. Энн предполагает, что образ Матери, который был незаслуженно обойден вниманием мужчин, является приемлемым для женщин, желающих, наконец, услышать мнение, не несущее на себе отпечатка пережитков патриархата.
