My media example is about a popular TV series called ‘entourage’. It portrays Vincent Chase, living his high life. He enjoys hooking-up more than steady relationships. He is a movie star, what would you expect?
The trailer I’m showing depicts how women are just small pleasures for these guys. Turtle (the guy with the hat) says, “Am I the only one who is guaranteed sex tonight?” This shows the kind of life they assume to be good. Well it may be good for them, but is it?
It also shows a little bit of Johnny Chase who is ecstatic about his breakthrough where he has to find his perfect kiss. Well boys will be boys till they grow up right.
They say it’s ‘for guys’. Well that’s what one would expect to see in a show ‘for guys’. Women in the show have the appeal that men seek. Skinny women with so much make up that they do not look like themselves. They are crafted to-be-looked-at.
Good start here, I think you need to answer questions such as: why do we expect movie starts to "hook up?" What makes that cool? What is seen as good or valued about this lifestyle in the show? Who say's "it's for guys?" Clarify what you mean by that point. Good start, but make sure to dig deeper.
