The opening scene starts of with the main Character and her boyfriend automatically suggesting to the viewer that this women is man dependant. Her appearances suggests that she is a very stylish and classy lady as well ad her boyfriend Mr big, wearing a classy suit suggesting he maybe has a good gob and being well financially stable. Carry Bradshaw is represented as In Sex and the City Sarah Jessica Parker plays Carrie Bradshaw. The character of Carrie Bradshaw is shown as an image obsessed woman who must buy herself all the latest designer handbags and shoes to feel complete. Her three friends mean the world to her, they are always there for each other and always willing to help each other out. She is also a writer for a living, This representation of her shows her in an extremely positive feminist view, the fact that she has a career and is able to buy the things she wants for herself shows a very independent side to her, however Carrie is man-dependant as she came to New York in search for and her love Mr Big, we see in this scene Mr big offers to buy her the house and she is extremely grateful this shows that even though she has her own job she still needs to depend on the man to be the one who buys the important things for the women. In this scene sex and the city girls are extremely laid back they talk about everything and anything they want we see them as being totally free with no pressure the only pressure is looking good and stylish also buying the latest fashion labels and keeping the man happy reinforcing the fact that most women still go out of their will to please the man any way they can do. Near the end of the clip we see the main character cooking for her boyfriend this reinforces the stereotype of a women how ever big she is will still have to do the traditional female roles. Feminists try and challenge this stereotype as they believe it is wrong. In this particular clip the man Mr big is represented as a powerful man he has the last word and is in control of everything. Their are still some traditional values in this certain clip such as the man always having the last word and he does what he wants however the women has to take it in and also be understanding. Although this is an extremely modern film it still shows that the traditional morels and values of a women still exist in society today and are reinforced in these modern films. Their are certain camera angles that can be interpreted having power and being powerless. we see that the main man is always on a high angle however the women is most of the time either level or low angle shot looking down at her which reinforces that the man has much more power than the women even in modern society today. The genre of the movie can be comedy and romance as it's a hybrid genre. The audiences that it is aimed at are middle class 16 to 25 year old's. this scene can be seen as extremely male dominated as we can see that the man has most of the power. Even though this movie is mainly supposed to be aimed at women Mulvey's theoryof women are just their for the male gaze may come in to practise as women may just be their to attract the male audiences however the main focus is really on the man and his actions.
