...10 Keywords...

The x10 Keywords i will use are-

Bollywood- The indian film industry, its a key term for me.

Cognitive dissonance-

Flashback- a scene in a film which disrupts the chronological narrative, by recalling past events.

Gender- psychologocal n cultural aspects behaviour associated with masculinity n femininity.

Patriarchy- men have authority of women

Ideologies- ideas, attitudes n beliefs that are within the text

Liberal feminism- laws which feminists promote equal oppertunites, n that sees gender inequalites. AS I NEED TO CONSIDER BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUEMENT, I HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT FEMINISTS THINK.

Non-linear narrative- non sequential narrative

Male Gaze- Laura Mulvey's theory

New Ladism- male backlash against feminism n girl power

1) AIM Magazine http://www.asiansinmedia.org/

2) Networks in India Of Women in Media (my own search) http://nwmindia.org/

4) Super Slick Power Chicks ttp://www.sensesofcinema.com/contents/02/22/power_chicks.html Still 'girl heroes' or 'fame babes' may be reflective of, and banking on, the modern day girl's overriding desire for grand success. As Hopkins states: “Fame is replacing romance as the dominant female fantasy (…) Love and marriage is no longer the final answer to youthful feminine desire” (Hopkins, 189-191).
