Blog 5 Lo Tsz Ching , Gloria
In this week I search some reference from internet and youtube , mostly audience are male and they will like to walk to cinema to watch movie . And I realized male audience like the action movie a lot , and I found some reference it support my options . But have female will think about that most strong lead by female will make people disliked by most men . But fun fact by the writer said actually most men they like the strong lead by women , and most people think that why male like it , because these actress are sexy and serous but actually it not correct , because in the research it show us , must popular sci-fi movie lead by actress the reason why the male like because they really like the strong alpha trait in the rule , such as “ Kill Bill ” “ Alien ” because they are very truly to show the audience how their power and strong . Of course not very “ strong ” movie they like , such as they don't like the actress shopping or crying it make them just feel fuss .
Actually , when i started the topic , and you told me I can follow the male gaze to think of it , i always think when the male watching the movie first attract them are the sexy body by the actress but when i search it , i realized it not truth , the point when the male gaze, they are looking at the Alpha female how strong of their rule and the story , it the most important thing they are looking for , and the sexy clothing or body language just a few factor .
When i interview my friend of the topic , he said that “Movie producers take advantage of "The male gaze" because males have more income and are less willing to dispose of it ” to me but how actually i understand his point , actually the truth reason he got attract for the movie is the story and not about the sexy thing in the movie , when he said that when i use “ male gaze ” to do my essay he think it too “ feminism ” but maybe he is right , but i think if i ask a girl same question , maybe i will get the same answer .

Dear Glori, The project now has a clearer focus. You may need to speed up in your process of literature review and interview though. My suggestion for you is to start writing down your ideas. Then you can have more time to re-organise your ideas and think about the ways relevant theoretical concepts can be applied. Apart from 'male gaze', please also make reference to encoding/decoding model.
