Masculinity in Media
I will start this blog by saying Bruce Willis protrays masculine in every movie that he is in. When I think of actors and masculinity, Bruce is the word that pops into my head. I have never seen the Live Free or Die Hard movies, but from the clips that I did see he is the "it" factor for masculinity in media. I was watching a movie this weekend called Transportor. I believe it was the second transport, but if you have seen this movie you know that it is a 100% movie that protrays masuclinity. The guy has a job that involves transporting people or things to certain places. He has no clue why he is doing this and most of the time he does not find the job, but it just kind of finds him. In this secong Transportor movie his job is to transport a woman to a certain spot. The woman appears to be feminine, but when she sees the guy fighting bad guys she does not scream or act like a female would in that situation. I know in class we kind of talked about partners that are different sex but both have the same authority rights and gender performance, in Law & Order SUV case would be the "badass" performance.
