The Male Gaze


The Male Gaze by Laura Mulvey is “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” in my words the male gaze is where you see through a males perspective. By learning this we had to analyse a clip from Two and a half men and show how the men are different.





Straight away from watching the clip you can see that the men contrast against each other. They have different personalities as they like different things. Charlie Harper is the typical cool man who wears stylish masculine clothes and is confident in front of girls well as Alan Harper, Charlie's brother, is a smart geeky character who wears formal clothes and is portrayed as slightly feminine. From this small information you can connote that they are very opposite to each other.


In the scene non-digetic music is added to the shot. This made the scene flow faster as it was upbeat. The laughing in the background was mocking the men which made the viewers realise that they should laugh is well.
